AAEON single board computer
UPS-P4-A10-08128
AAEON single board computers
(including UPS-P4-A10-08128) have
become an indispensable element of
applications requiring an efficient and
compact device with x86 architecture
other than an industrial computer.
Areas of application:
The UPS-P4-A10-08128
unit performs great in
advanced systems,
wherever the high
computing power offered
by small-sized devices is
needed. Such requirements are
increasingly being applied to applications
from the industrial automation segment.
Also Internet of Things (IoT) devices that
are not end nodes, such as e.g. data fl ow
control and conversion network gateways,
are built using single board computers.
Computer UPS-P4-A10-08128 (Up Square,
UP2) will work well in this role. Another
area of application involve real-time image
analysis and processing. The UP2 single
board computer can cooperate with an
mPCI-e card containing system that is
part of a neural network (e.g. the Intel®
Movidius® MyriadTM graphic processor).
In such situation, its computing power
increases signifi cantly, enabling data
analysis and processing directly at edge
node nodes (edge computing). Thanks
to this, processing time is shortened and
costs associated with data transfer as well
as servicing and leasing of computing
centers are minimized. In this way, a single
board computer becomes a key part of the
item detection system (e.g. products of
a specifi c brand in a vending machine or
license plates for cars entering a guarded
parking lot), identifi cation of persons (e.g.,
sex and age of people visiting the store
at a given time of
day). In the end, it can
become a control unit in an
autonomous vehicle that analyzes
and processes camera images. The
number of applications is limited only by
the ingenuity of the designer.
Single board computers are often used
in small lot production, where it is required
to reduce the design time until the product
is released on the market. In addition,
the cooperation with Linux and Windows
operating systems makes the creation of
electronic devices easier for programmers
who, having at their disposal a large
number of libraries and drivers present in
the operating system itself, do not need
to engage into the issues concerning the
device’s hardware layer.
Advantages
An important advantage of a single board
computer are its small dimensions, which
translates into the size of the fi nal device.
UPS-P4-A10-08128 computer works
in a wide temperature range, and fl ash
and operational memory in the form of
integrated circuits is resistant to shocks
and vibrations.
An important advantage is also low
power consumption. It translates not only to
lower energy demand, but also to greater
equipment durability and reliability.
Thanks to the interfaces mounted on the
board, it is possible to exchange data with
external devices.
The AAEON UPS-P4-A10-08128 single
board computer will be available at least
until 2024. The device is CE/FCC Class A
certifi ed.
