Compact SBC by AAEON is available from Review Display Systems

The de next-TGU8 is the latest compact single board computer (SBC) from Aaeon and it is available from Review Display Systems (RDS). It has up to four cores, with eight threads, powered by 11th Generation Intel Core i7, i5, and i3 processors.

According to the RDS, the de next-TGU8 marks the beginning of a new generation in SBC because it creates a highly compact board featuring an on-board Intel Core i-level processor. The board’s outline dimensions are just 84 x 55mm.

Despite its compact form factor, the SBC offers a high level of integration and performance, supporting 16Gbyte onboard LPDDR4x memory, together with I/O and multiple expansion options. The de next-TGU8 is designed to facilitate a high speed interface with dual RJ45 ethernet ports, two USB 3.2 Gen2 and four USB 2.0 slots, and a dual display interface supported with HDMI and eDP ports.

There are also expansion options for a variety of add-on modules. Expansion accessories include an FPC slot for PCIe x4 Gen 3 with riser kit, for additional storage or more advanced graphics options.

The de next-TGU8 also contains an M.2 2280 key slot (PCIe x 2), enabling users to combine different expansion modules to suit different application needs, such as AI acceleration, Wi-Fi, and 4G network modules.

Peter Marchant, embedded business manager, RDS said, “The data processing ability of the new Aaeon de next-TGU8 ensures it is capable of powering the next generation of AI-based applications including smart systems, factory automation and robotics technology. The combination of small form factor, versatility and connectivity enable the de next-TGU8 to be used in a wide range of application environments.”

Established in 1982, RDS has experience supporting and supplying display and embedded hardware solutions. The distributor supports a comprehensive range of display technologies, touch screen and embedded computing solutions. 

Review Display Systems engages and develops partnerships with customers in a wide range of industry sectors including industrial control and instrumentation, medical devices, facilities management, marine, aerospace, point-of-information, and process control. 

A strong commitment to environmental responsibility and quality is reinforced with accreditation to the latest internationally recognised quality standards including ISO14001, ISO9001-2015 and ISO13485:2016 for the design and manufacture of medical devices.

RDS opens the door for Aaeon’s IoT gateway 

Secure protection for bi-directional data transmission is afforded by the SRG-TG01 IoT gateway system by Aaeon, which is available from embedded systems and displays provider, Review Display Systems (RDS).  The gateway features 11th generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3 and Celeron SoC processors and enables the connection of IoT devices and sensors to cloud-based computing and data processing systems. It enables connectivity and bi-directional data flow between the cloud and IoT devices. 

The system supports two SO-DIMM slots for DDR4 3200Mhz memory up to 64Gbyte and offers storage expansion with M.2 PCIe SSD up to 2Tbyte of capacity. I/O features include four USB 3.2 interfaces, one HDMI 2.0b output, a 2-channel 2.0B CAN bus interface, RS232, RS422, and RS485 serial ports and an eight-channel digital I/O.

The SRG-TG01 gateway platform features three Ethernet wireless LAN ports, one 2.5 Gbit per second and two 1.0Gbit per second, with additional expansion slots available for supporting wireless network communications including Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 and 3G, 4G and 5G mobile network protocols.

Gateways, are used to connect edge devices, such as remote sensors, to the data processing systems in the cloud and data transmission between devices needs secure protection. According to Peter Marchant, embedded business manager, RDS, the SRG-TG01 can provide support for data protection by implementing up-to-date security protocols and algorithms used for data-in-transit encryption.

Implementing Intel Iris Xe graphics means the GPU can power a broad range of industrial edge computing applications. The rugged construction of the SRG-TG01 features a fanless design to minimise the ingress of dust and foreign contaminants. 

The AAEON SRG-TG01 is a Microsoft Azure-certified device. As such, it is subjected to a functionality and interoperability process that authenticates device capabilities against specific certification programs. The SRG-TG01 uses the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise operating system.

External mechanical dimensions are 207 x 155 x 72mm and there is an optional DIN rail and wall-mounting kits enabling the SRG-TG01 to be used in a wide range of application environments. It supports an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees C.

Aaeon’s SRG-TG01 standard IoT gateway system is now available from Review Display Systems.

2K2K square resolution CMOS image sensor maximises vertical coverage

For security wide-field of view and AR / VR / MR pass-through cameras, Omnivision’s first 2K2K (2048 x 2048) square resolution CMOS image sensor introduces features to the industry. The OS04E10 is claimed to be the industry’s first image sensor with digital watermarking, a built-in anti-spoofing feature that ensures no tampering with the original video source takes place. 

The 2.0 micron pixel image sensor is designed for 1:1 aspect ratio security systems to maximise vertical coverage in security wide-field of view (dome, fisheye, and doorbell) cameras as well as pass-through (AR / VR / MR) cameras. The sensor captures real-time fast-moving video and features always-on low power mode at 512p for pre-roll video recording capabilities.

Security has become the largest CMOS image sensor market segment after mobile and computing devices. From 2021 to 2027, according to Yole Intelligence’s Imaging for Security 2022 report, this market segment is expected to grow from $2.1 billion to $3.6 billion at a 9 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

“Pairing the OS04E10 with Omnivision’s OA7600 and OA8000 [ASICs] provides a total battery-powered camera system with always-on and pre-roll video recording capabilitie,” said Devang Patel, marketing director for the IoT and emerging segment at Omnivision.

The OS04E10 image sensor has a 2.0 micron pixel with a 1/3.11-inch optical format and is based on Omnivision’s PureCelPlus technology, which is claimed to reduce pixel crosstalk and noise for better colour reproduction under low-light conditions. Its onboard Nyxel near-infrared (NIR) technology ensures low to no ambient light image capture with IR source will result in clear and crisp images. It can also provide opportunities for camera designers to extend battery life. The sensor’s two-exposure staggered HDR mode increases dynamic range. The OS04E10 supports MIPI and LVDS interfaces. 

Samples of the OS04E10 are available now, and it will be in mass production in the second half of 2023.
