Aetina unveils NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX edge embedded systems

Aetina has recently announced several embedded systems based on NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano which they showcased at CES 2023. We’ll specifically have a look at the AIE-KO21/31 and AIE-KN31/41 edge devices designed for mainstream and entry-level edge AI computing. NVIDIA introduced the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX SO-DIMM modules in March 2022 and followed up with the lower-cost pin-compatible Jetson Orin Nano modules in September with mass production scheduled for Q4 2022 and Q1 2023 respectively. Last week, we covered the first NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX edge AI computer we had seen, namely Seeed Studio reComputer J4012, but it turns out Aetina also announced their own Jetson Orin NX/Orin Nano industrial embedded computers around the same time. Aetina AIE-KO21, AIE-KO31, AIE-KN31, and AIE-KN41 specifications: System-on-module AIE-KO21 – NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 4GB with up to 20 TOPS of AI performance AIE-KO31 – NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 8GB with […]
