Axiomtek’s Raspberry Pi sized “KIWI310” SBC runs Linux or Win 10 on Intel’s Apollo Lake with up to 4GB LPDDR4 and 64GB eMMC plus 4x USB, GbE, micro-HDMI, M.2 E-key, and 40-pin GPIO, with options including 5G, PoE, and a case.

Over the years, Axiomtek has produced numerous embedded boards and systems based on Intel’s Apollo Lake platform, including its 100 x 72mm PICO319 Pico-ITX SBC. Its new KIWI310 is even smaller, coming in at a Raspberry Pi like 85 × 56mm, or “1/8-inch.” The KIWI310 runs Linux or Win 10, with Android by request, on Intel’s dual-core, 1.1GHz/2.4GHz Celeron N3350, which has a 6W TDP.

The KIWI310 has a Raspberry Pi style layout and supports “versatile AIoT applications in robotics, industrial automation, retail, video surveillance, smart city, and more.” The AI is enabled via an M.2 E-key slot, which Axiomtek says supports an Intel Movidius Myriad X NPU module.

Other compact Apollo Lake based SBC include Aaeon’s 90 x 56mm UP Core Plus, which similarly supplies a Myriad AI chip, and Adlink’s larger, sandwich-style Vizi-AI, which offers both a Myriad X and 40-pin GPIO.

The KIWI310 also has a 40-pin GPIO connector. Although there are no promises of Raspberry Pi HAT compatibility, the YouTube video farther below shows a Waveshare 5G HAT being plugged into the 40-pin connector. Yet, the announcement says the 5G comes from the M.2 E-key slot, which typically is used for WiFi/BT.

The GbE port is accompanied by a PoE chip and is said to support PoE via a PoE HAT. The SBC is also supports peripherals including temperature sensors, RFID kits, G-sensor, light sensors, and LED units, all of which presumably use the 40-pin interface.

The KIWI310 is available via two SKUs: one with 2GB RAM and 32GB eMMC and the other with 4GB and 64GB. The YouTube video says the board supports up to 8GB RAM.

Other features include micro-HDMI, 2x USB 3.2 Gen1, 2x USB 2.0, and a power-only USB Type-C port. There is also an optional, 96 x 60 x 37mm enclosed model called the APC208.
