Last month, Vecow released the EAC-5000 Series Edge AI computing system built around the latest Jetson AGX Orin platform. These rugged embedded devices provide up 275 TOPs of AI performance in addition to 2x GbE LAN ports, 5x USBs, 2x CAN buses, 2x SIM card sockets and several other peripherals. 

Vecow is offering two EAC-5000 models featuring the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin released this year. 

• EAC-5000-R32 — 8-core Arm Cortex-A78AE v8.2 64-bit CPU; 1792-core NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU with 56 Tensor Cores; 2x NVDLA engines
• EAC-5000-R64 — 12-core Arm Cortex-A78AE v8.2 64-bit CPU; 2048-core NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU with 64 Tensor Cores;  2x NVDLA engines

As described by their name, the R32 model supports up to 32GB of LPDDR5 DRAM while the R64 model supports up to 64GB. For storage, both models provide two M.2 Key M sockets, one 64GB eMMC module and one MicroSD card reader.

The display interface seems to offer one HDMI port with 8K@60Hz resolution. There are also up to eight Fakra-Z connectors for GMSL cameras used in automotive applications. 

The company also released additional embedded devices targeting similar applications such as robotics, computer vision, etc. The EAC-3000, the EAC-2100 and the EAC-2000 series provide at least four GbE ports, however they are powered by the Jetson AGX Xavier modules instead.
