Vecow EAC-4000-AR04-OOB 6-Core NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 4GB Embedded Box PC with Out-of-Band Management, Dual COM and -25 to 55 °C

The smaller the job, the harder it is to justify a site visit when a unit stops responding. The Vecow EAC-4000-AR04-OOB puts the Allxon out-of-band module on the lightest build of the EAC-4000 series, the Jetson Orin Nano 4GB at up to 20 TOPS. It suits people counting, presence detection and gauge reading on estates of sites, where the EAC-4000-AR04-OOB can be power cycled or reached through a serial console remotely.

Management is handled apart from the main system by a Nuvoton NUC980 MCU with its own 10/100 Ethernet port, a full-size Mini PCIe socket on USB and a nano SIM, with remote power on and off, reset, power cycling and a cloud serial console through Allxon. The compute side is a six-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU, a 512-core Ampere GPU with 16 Tensor Cores and 4 GB of LPDDR5, with HEVC decode of up to five 1080p streams at 60 fps. We supply it with JetPack 6.2 on Ubuntu 22.04, the NVMe SSD and the Allxon module configured and tested.

System I/O is one Gigabit Ethernet port, four USB 3.1 Type-A ports, an HDMI 2.0 output at up to 4K at 60 Hz and two DB9 COM ports for RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485. A second full-size Mini PCIe socket with a nano SIM and two antenna positions serves the main system with an optional 4G or Wi-Fi module, and the NVMe SSD sits in an M.2 Key M socket on PCIe 4.0 x4.

Power is 12 V DC on a three-pin terminal block. The unit is fanless and rated from -25 °C to 55 °C in 15 W mode, and Vecow lists EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 compliance along with CE and FCC. It mounts on a wall, with an optional DIN rail kit. The EAC-4000-AR04 is the same build without the module, and the EAC-4000-AR08-OOB doubles the memory and GPU cores.
