X7433RE IM A

ASUS has launched the X7433RE-IM-A, a 3.5-inch industrial motherboard powered by an Intel Atom X7433RE Amston Lake SoC. The processor supports Intel Deep Learning Boost (DL Boost) and Intel AVX2 SIMD instructions to enhance AI processing and accelerate workloads at the IoT edge. The X7433RE-IM-A single-board computer supports up to 16GB of DDR5 4800MHz In-Band ECC memory via a SO-DIMM slot. The Intel Atom X7433RE processor, with integrated Intel UHD Graphics, supports up to three 4K displays through HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and LVDS/eDP 1.2. For storage, the board includes a SATA 3.0 interface and networking is implemented through two Ethernet controllers – Intel i210IT and i226IT (2.5GbE) – with WOL/PXE support. Previously, we covered the ASRock Industrial SBC-262M-WT, another Intel Atom X7433RE Amston Lake-based 3.5-inch motherboard. We also wrote about other 3.5-inch boards like the ECS ADLN-IE1S, Jetway MF32, ECS RK3568-IS, MSI MS-98M3, and several others. You can check […]

Cytron IRIV IO Controller – A Raspberry Pi RP2350-based industrial I/O controller

Raspberry Pi RP2350 industrial controller

Cytron IRIV IO Controller is an “Industrial Revolution 4.0” (or Industry 4.0) controller based on the Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller that comes with an Ethernet port implemented through the W5500 chipset, and several isolated interfaces such as DI and DO up to 50V, two analog inputs, and RS232 and RS485 serial interfaces accessible through terminal blocks. Last year, the company introduced the Cytron IRIV PiControl industrial controller based on the Raspberry Pi CM4 module, and the IRIV IO Controller is a much cheaper solution using a subset of the features and a design that looks similar. IRIV IO Controller specifications: Microcontroller – Raspberry Pi RP2350A  CPU Dual-core Arm Cortex-M33 @150MHz with Arm Trustzone for secure boot Dual-core 32-bit Hazard3 RISC-V @ 150MHz Up to two cores can be used at the same time Memory – 520 KB on-chip SRAM in 10 banks Storage – 2MB flash memory Networking – 10/100M […]

NanoPi Zero2 is a tiny headless Arm Linux computer with Gigabit Ethernet, a USB port, and an M.2 Key-E socket for WiFi

NanoPi Zero2

FriendlyELEC NanoPi Zero2 is one of the world’s smallest Arm Linux computers with the 45x45mm board featuring a Rockchip RK3528A quad-core Cortex-A53 processor, up to 2GB RAM, microSD and eMMC flash module sockets for storage, a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 jack, an M.2 socket for WiFi, a USB Type-A port, and a 30-pin GPIO FPC connector for expansion. When I went to find more information about the earlier NanoPi Zero, I quickly realized… it did not exist, and the closest thing we have is the ZeroPi released in 2019 with an Allwinner H3 Cortex-A7 processor and an even smaller 40x40mm form factor.  The NanoPi Zero2 comes with a 64-bit processor, more memory, and optional support for an M.2 WiFi module among other improvements. It’s designed for headless applications since there’s no video output/display interface. NanoPi Zero2 specifications: SoC – Rockchip RK3528A CPU – Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 @ 2.0 GHz GPU – […]

DeepRad is a cheap, modular SDR receiver based on the RTL-SDR (Crowdfunding)

Deeprad Single modular SDR receiver

DeepRad is a software-defined radio (SDR) receiver built in the RTL-SDR form factor. The modular SDR receiver offers advantages over other RTL-SDR-based devices which make it easier to integrate with other components and build custom solutions for your specific applications. The DeepRad SDR receiver is based on the RTL-SDR dongle and features the same Realtek RTL2832U demodulator chip with an R860T tuner. The module features D+ and D- pins for USB connection, V+ for 5 V power supply, solderable jumpers for oscillator selection, an RF pin for antenna connection, and 8 shield pin connectors for shielding and support. The module is targeted at custom designs, with the user free to choose the best components for their application. It is as versatile as a typical SDR receiver, with applications ranging from FM radio listening to aircraft tracking. We have previously covered other RTL-SDR receivers, such as the KrakenSDR and the RTL-SDR […]
