Intel Core 3 N355 on SMARC module

“As in previous versions, AI instruction sets, Intel AVX2 [advanced vector extensions 2] and VNNI [vector neural network instructions] enable processing of deep learning inferences,” Congatec says. “Integrated graphics further support INT8 output using up to 32 execution units, significantly improving object recognition and graphics processing compared to previous generations.”

Memory options can go up to 16GB LPDDR5-4800 with in-band ECC.

Buses include: dual 2.5Gb Ethernet with TSN, 4x PCIe Gen3, 2x USB 3.2 Gen2, 6x USB 2.0, SATA Gen3.2, I.²C and UART.

An additional wireless module adds Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC and LTS Linux are supported.

Full name is conga-SA8/core3-N355-16G-eMMC64 or part number 051416.

“Congatec also offers the SA8 SMARC module as a ready-to-use aReady.COM application,” the company said. “It can be pre-configured with, for example, ctrlX OS from Bosch Rexroth, Ubuntu Pro and a real-time hypervisor installed and licensed.”

Applications are expected in point-of-sale terminals, industrial PCs, AI edge systems, AGVs (automated vehicles), semi-autonomous logistics vehicles and medical diagnostics such as blood analyzers.
