AAEON has introduced a pair of SMARC 2.1-standard computers-on-module, powered by the customer’s alternative of MediaTek’s Genio 700 or Genio 510 system-on-chip: the uCOM-M700 and uCOM-M510.
The SMARC-shaped uCOM-M700 is, because the identify implies, constructed across the MediaTek Genio 700 — an element unveiled again in January 2023 as sitting between the Genio 500 and Genio 1200 within the firm’s edge AI line-up. “With a give attention to industrial and sensible dwelling merchandise,” MediaTek’s Richard Lu wrote on the time, “the Genio 700 is an ideal pure addition to the line-up to make sure we will present the widest vary of help potential to our clients.”

The chip comes with two Arm Cortex-A78 cores working at as much as 2.2GHz plus six Cortex-A55 cores working at as much as 2GHz. There’s an Arm Mali-G57 MC3 graphics processor and an in-house neural coprocessor delivering a claimed 4 tera-operations per second (TOPS) of minimum-precision compute for on-device machine studying and synthetic intelligence (ML and AI) workloads. For many who do not want that stage of efficiency, the uCOM-M700 dials that again to a Genio 510 — dropping the Cortex-A78 cores right down to 2GHz, shedding two Cortex-A55 cores for a complete of 4, swapping the Mali-G57 MC3 for the slower MC2, and ranking the neural coprocessor at 3.2 TOPS.
Each fashions, delivered to our consideration by Linux Gizmos, include 8GB of LPDDR4 reminiscence on-board, plus 16GB of eMMC storage. The SODIMM-style edge connector carries alerts together with gigabit Ethernet, one USB 3.0 and 5 USB 2.0 ports, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, embedded DisplayPort (eDP), and MIPI Show Serial Interface (DSI) video outputs, 4 UART buses of which one is reserved for debug functions, a single lane of PCI Categorical Gen. 2, two MIPI Digital camera Serial Interface (CSI) inputs, 5 I2C and one SPI buses, and 12 general-purpose enter/output (GPIO) pins.

The brand new modules are suitable with AAEON’s ECB-960T-A15, a SMARC-compliant service board that turns them into mini-ITX desktop machines — full with a four-lane-mechanical PCI EXpress slot, two DisplayPort++ outputs, an HDMI output, two LCD connectors, six USB Sort-A ports, two Ethernet ports, a SATA III port, and two MIPI Digital camera Serial Interface (CSI) inputs.
Extra data on the modules and service board can be found on the AAEON web site, however on the time of writing the corporate had not printed pricing data for both.
