SOSA aligned SBC for C5ISR AI at the edge debuts from EIZO Rugged Solutions
NewsJune 04, 2024
ORLANDO, Fla. EIZO Rugged Solutions debuted a new high-performance embedded computing module called the Condor AGX-ORIN64-HPC, a Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA) aligned 3U VPX single-board computer (SBC) based on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin system-on-module (SoM).
According to the announcement from the company, the Condor AGX-ORIN64-HPC is a small-form-factor computer module designed for compute-intensive command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C5ISR) applications requiring artificial intelligence at the edge (AIAE) processing. It uses the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 64GB system-on-module (SoM) that hosts an NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU and a 12-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU, while its 64GB of LPDDR5 system memory allows up to 205 GB/sec memory bandwidth shared between the internal CPU, GPU, and accelerator engines.
The Condor AGX-ORIN64-HPC also uses the NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NIC, which enables high-speed data transfer of up to 100Gb/sec and 25Gb/sec using Gigabit Ethernet, plus NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA over converged Ethernet (RoCE), thereby enabling high-speed communication between distributed sensors, RF transceivers, and platforms. In addition, the card supports 64 GB eMMC internal storage, an M.2 2230 site for expandable storage, and features high-speed I/O such as USB 3.2, DisplayPort™, and RS-232 Serial.
The company asserts that the Condor AGX-ORIN64-HPC’s modular design supports VITA 46/65 and the SOSA Technical Standard slot profile 14.2.16 and is designed to meet MIL-STD-810 requirements for temperature, shock, vibration, and humidity.
