AAEON, an industry-leading provider of embedded solutions, has announced the latest addition to its 3.5” SubCompact Board product line, the GENE-ARH6. Available with a selection of CPUs from the Intel Core Ultra 200U and 200H Series Processors for the Edge, up to 96GB DDR5, and a full lineup of industrial communication interfaces, the GENE-ARH6 is well-equipped to utilize its Intel Arc 140T GPU and integrated Intel AI Boost to bring advanced industrial robots and inference-based safety monitoring solutions to market.
While the standout improvements over previous generations of AAEON’s 3.5” SubCompact board range are its integrated Intel Arc 140T GPU and Intel AI Boost NPU, which with the board’s range of CPU SKUs grant it up to 96 TOPs of AI performance, the GENE-ARH6’s robust I/O is key to its market utility. This consists of four COM headers (two RS-232/422/485, two RS-232), an 8-bit GPIO, and a choice of SMBus or I2C, as well as four USB 2.0 headers.
For physical ports, the GENE-ARH6 offers three LAN ports, two of which run at 2.5GbE speed with Intel vPro support depending on the CPU used. The GENE-ARH6’s environmental specifications also make the board versatile in where it can be deployed, with a 9V to 36V power input range with ERP support being a key feature.
For wireless connectivity, the GENE-ARH6 hosts both an M.2 3052 B-Key and M.2 2230 E-Key, which support 5G and Wi-Fi 6E CNVi, respectively. Moreover, the board offers advanced storage options in the form of an M.2 2280 M-Key (PCIe Gen 4) and an FPC2 connector, which provides two PCIe Gen 4 interfaces, as well as RAID 0, RAID 1 support. The GENE-ARH6 is now in mass production and available via the AAEON eShop.
