Aetina Corporation, a provider of Edge AI solutions, announced today during Computex 2021 its new series of DeviceEdge - DeviceEdge Mini, the edge AI-enabled computer. The solution expands Aetina's range of edge AI systems built on the NVIDIA Jetson system on module (SoM) lineup, including Jetson XavierTM NX, Jetson NanoTM, and Jetson TX2 NXTM for applications in smart transportation, factories, retail, healthcare, AIoT, robotics, and more. DeviceEdge Mini is the newest offering in the Aetina DeviceEdge platform lineup, which provides multiple options and SKUs to help developers build and deploy AI applications into mass production. Using the 260-pin SO-DIMM connector, its fixed mechanism can be flexibly embedded with various NVIDIA Jetson SOMs such as Jetson Xavier NX, Jetson Nano, and Jetson TX2 NX. Also, the DeviceEdge Mini Series expands into 128GB NVMe SSD to execute edge computing applications for 25x faster data transmission than SATA SSD.

The advances made over the last few years in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) are allowing this technology to permeate into all areas of industry, creating "smart" applications and even smart industries. This revolution has created the AIoT, which is a morphing of AI and IoT. You could make an argument that the previous winners of the IoT explosion were the sensor makers and the Cloud providers. The latter were especially successful in that it was the keeper of the data--more data than most individuals could wrap their arms around. The next step, which was taken by most Cloud vendors, was to provide analytics to its customers: "You have all this data. Now you need to make use of it."

General purpose graphics processor units (GPU) and edge AI computing platform provider, Aetina, has announced MXM development kits for embedded artificial intelligence (AI) and vision computing. The development tools include an MXM motherboard and an MXM to PCIe carrier that can help the developers to build a test system to confirm the performance specifications and verify peripheral devices early in the development stage. The kit includes the MXM motherboard, MH110, for evaluation. It supports Aetina MXM 3.0/3.1 type A/B modules and Intel's Core i7 CPUs, up to 7th Generation. A DDR4 SO-DIMM 2133MHz dual channel is expandable up to 32Gbyte, sufficient for entry-level AI, says the company.
