AAEON has introduced the PICO-ASL4 and GENE-ASL6 boards, both incorporating the Intel Atom x7000RE Processor Series (Amston Lake). These boards are optimized for edge applications, combining durability, scalability, and low power consumption with a maximum power draw of 12W per processor.

The PICO-ASL4, built on the 100mm x 72mm PICO-ITX form factor, supports Intel Atom x7433RE and x7835RE processors and can accommodate up to 16GB of DDR5 RAM using a single-channel SODIMM Non-ECC module.

• x7433RE — 4C, (Up to 3.4 GHz); 6 MB Cache, 32 EU, Intel UHD Graphics (up to 1.00 GHz), 9W TDP
• x7835RE — 8C, (Up to 3.6 GHz); 6 MB Cache, 32 EU, Intel UHD Graphics (up to 1.20 GHz), 12W TDP

This device features six USB ports and provides robust networking capabilities with one 2.5GbE LAN port and one GbE LAN port, supporting Intel Time Coordinated Computing and Time-Sensitive Networking.

For display, the PICO-ASL4 supports two simultaneous outputs: LVDS (18/24bit 2CH) with resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz, and optional eDP 1.4 up to 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz, along with an HDMI 1.4 port capable of up to 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz.

The board also offers flexible expansion options, including a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port for fast data storage, an M.2 E-Key 2230 slot for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules, and a full-sized mSATA/mPCIe slot for additional storage or peripheral expansion.
