Industry-leading designer and manufacturer of edge AI solutions AAEON introduced a new addition to its fanless embedded AI systems based on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin platform, the BOXER-8655AI. Available with either an 8GB or 16GB NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX module with Super Mode, the BOXER-8655AI offers up to 157 TOPS of AI performance.
AAEON has firmly positioned the BOXER-8655AI for the in-vehicle and smart mobility market, as evidenced by its E-Mark certification, rugged design, and 9-Axis sensor/GNSS support. Crucially, the system shares the same support for up to eight GMSL2 cameras as the COMPUTEX Best Choice Award-winning BOXER-8645AI, designed to offer low-latency video transmission over distances of up to 15 meters for more accurate real-time inferencing.
The system’s I/O includes a DB-9 port for CANBus alongside a DB-15 port offering both RS-232(Rx/Tx)/422/485 and a programmable 8-bit DIO. For peripheral device installation such as radar, LiDAR, and other high-speed sensors, the system hosts five GbE RJ-45 and four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports. These are bolstered by the BOXER-8655AI’s 9-axis sensor and GNSS support, which can be leveraged for a range of fleet management and driver behavior analysis applications.
For storage, the BOXER-8655AI is equipped with both a 2.5” SATA drive bay and an M.2 2280 M-Key for NVMe. Meanwhile, the system offers Wi-Fi/BT and 5G/LTE modules via M.2 2230 E-Key and M.2 3042/3052 B-Key slots, respectively.
Measuring 246mm x 164.2mm x 88.8mm (3.6 liters), the BOXER-8655AI is considerably smaller than AAEON’s previous in-vehicle embedded systems. However, it maintains a wide 9V to 36V power input range with an ignition delay on/off function, MIL-STD-810G standard tolerance for both shock and vibration, E-Mark certification, and an extended -15°C to 70°C operating temperature range.
For model development and deployment, the BOXER-8655AI supports NVIDIA JetPack 6.0 and later, with a number of preinstalled SDK components included in the system’s BSP. The BOXER-8655AI is now in mass production and available via the AAEON eShop.
