Texas Instruments AM6232/AM6254-powered SBC and industrial IoT gateway offered with a 20-year lifespan

AAEON’s PICO-AM62 and SRG-AM62 are respectively a single board computer (SBC) and an industrial IoT gateway powered by Texas Instruments AM6232 or AM6254 Sitara Arm Cortex-A53/M4 SoC, designed to operate within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range, and offered with a 20-year lifespan.

The SRG-AM62 gateway simply houses the PICO-AM62 pico-ITX SBC within a metal case so both offer dual gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 1.4 port, and two USB 2.0 as well as communication interfaces such as RS-232/422/485 and  CAN Bus. Designed to be operated in industrial settings, the systems support a wide 9V to 36V input voltage range.

Texas Instruments AM6232/AM6254 SBC

AAEON SRC-AM62 TI AM62x IoT gateway

The SRG-AM62 gateway supports wall mounting and can also be mounted to a DIN Rail with extra accessories. The Texas Instruments Sitara AM6232/AM6254 can run Debian 12 with or without GUI, or Android 14, but the latter is likely only suitable for the AM6254 considering a 3D GPU is required for smooth operation.

AAEON selected Texas Instruments Sitara processors due to their scalability and 20-year lifespan. The long lifecycle can be required by industrial customers wanting to be able to source hardware for their IoT solutions over a long period of time. Typical applications for the SBC and gateway include in-vehicle digital clusters or industrial automation devices.

Samples of the PICO-AM62 SBC and SRG-AM62 industrial IoT gateway can be pre-ordered on AAEON’s eShop for respectively $165 and $210 with the AM6232 dual-core processor and 12V DC input. The 9V to 36V DC wide-range input voltage option adds about $30 to the total. Deliveries are scheduled for September 2024. Additional information may be found on the product pages for the board and the gateway, as well as in the announcement.
