A compact embedded computer from VersaLogic is based on the Intel Xeon processor. The Eagle features Intel’s Coffee Lake Refresh Xeon processor and includes high speed on-board NVMe SSD storage, ECC memory, Ethernet, TPM 2.0 security, general purpose I/O (GPIO) and USB ports, as well as a SATA port for off-board storage. 

The compact size makes it suitable for use in restricted spaces. The Eagle is based on Intel’s 9th generation Xeon-E processor which features six cores and hyper-threading. There is also soldered down 128Gbyte NVMe fast read/write storage and up to 32Gbyte ECC memory. These features make it suitable for intensive processing at the edge, says Versalogic. This particularly applies when security concerns or limited communication bandwidth preclude sending raw data back to a data centre, the company says. Connectivity interfaces include Ethernet, USB 3.2, serial, I2C, GPIO, and Mini DisplayPort connections. SATA III connectivity is provided for applications requiring an off-board storage capability.

The compact and tough Eagle has a footprint of 96 x 90mm and is 37mm high to fit in most 1U enclosures. 

As a member of the VersaLogic EPU product family, the Eagle is designed and tested for industrial temperature operation, i.e., -40 to +85 degrees C. It meets MIL-STD-202H specifications for shock and vibration. The latching connectors ensure secure cable attachment in hostile environments, says VersaLogic.

Like other VersaLogic products, the Eagle is designed from the ground up for long-term availability (10+ year typical production lifecycle). Modifications to the off-the-shelf product are available, even in low OEM quantities. Modifications include conformal coating, revision locks, custom labelling, customised testing and screening. 

The Eagle (EPU-5120) is now in stock at VersaLogic and will be in stock at Digi-Key soon. 

VersaLogic supplies embedded computers and expert technical support for critical markets such as medical and defence. Its products feature long-term availability, -40 to +85 degrees C operation, MIL-STD-202 shock and vibration testing, and US-based support.

Based on the 11th Generation Intel Core processor, the COM-TGUC6 has been released by Aaeon. It offers developers and users a significant increase in performance over previous generations of COM boards, says Aaeon, with faster memory speeds, greater display support and higher bandwidth connections. 

The rugged design increases processing performance with the 11th Generation Intel Core U processors (formerly Tiger Lake). For memory operations it supports dual DDR4 modules up to 3200MHz. The board supports in-band ECC, providing memory error detection even with non-ECC memory modules. Together this offers faster, more accurate data processing, vital for increasingly complex applications in robotics and AI computing, says Aaeon. The COM-TGUC6 can be configured with the industrial grade Intel Core U processor, enabling the board to meet WiTAS II wide temperature specifications, operating in temperatures from -40 to +85 degrees C.

The COM-TGUC6 is designed to bring faster data processing and connections, using the latest generation of I/O and expansion features. Included in this feature set is the Intel i225LM chipset, powering 2.5Gbit per second Ethernet speeds. This enables faster network connections for applications that demand higher bandwidths. Additionally, the system supports four USB3.2 Gen 2 ports, up to eight USB2.0 ports, as well as SATA III storage devices.

The COM-TGUC6 also provides flexible display support, with connections for VGA, up to three DDI ports and LVDS / eDP support. The board is capable of powering up to four independent displays, for digital signage, medical equipment and gaming. The COM-TGUC6 also supports a range of expansion options including five PCIe Gen 3 lanes, as well as PCI Express Graphics (PEG) Gen 4.

Aaeon provides customers and clients with a range of services to help ensure the right product for the job. From carrier boards and enclosures to OEM / ODM services, the company’s service and support helps accelerate development and reduce time to market.

Established in 1992, Aaeon designs and manufactures industrial IoT and AI edge applications. The company provides reliable computing including industrial motherboards and systems, rugged tablets, embedded AI edge systems, uCPE network appliances, and LoRaWAN / WWAN. Aaeon also works closely with cities and governments to develop and deploy smart city ecosystems and works with premier chip designers to deliver stable, reliable platforms. It is recognised as an Associate member of the Intel Internet of Things Solutions Alliance.
