The computer, called ‘de next-V2K8’ and made by Aaeon, measures 86 x 55mm can accept up to 16Gbyte of LPDDR4x 3200.
Fast connectivity is through two RJ45 Ethernet ports, two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports and four USB 2.0 slots.
There are two processor options: the six-core 2.1GHz (3.95GHz turbo) V2516, and the eight-core 1.7GHz (4.15GHz) V2718. Both support hyperthreading, and the board can handle processors up to 25W.
Operation is over 0 to 60°C and from 12Vdc (AT/ATX) through the board’s power jack. Consumption figures have not been released. (An earlier version of this article had an erroneous reference to Intel i7 processors in this paragraph – my bad, Ed). Processors up to 25W can be accommodated.
“The combination of processing power, connectivity and form-factor, allow the de next-V2K8 to be used in a range of industrial environments,” said RDS embedded business manager Peter Marchant. “The data processing capability can support applications including smart systems, factory automation and transportation systems.”
Other interfaces include two COM ports, 8bit general purpose I/O, an M.2 2280 key slot (PCIe x 2, for Wi-Fi, mobile network or graphics modules), SATA3 (with 5V connector) and a smart output for a cooling fan – the associated CPU cooler is the ‘de next-FAN01’.
Established in 1982, RDS is based in Kent UK.
