Vecow EAC-3000 NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Fanless Industrial Embedded Computers

Site machinery and vehicles rarely use one camera type. Automotive GMSL cameras sit close to the machine, IP cameras cover the wider area, and both need to reach the same inference computer through vibration, dust and wide supply voltages. The Vecow EAC-3000 series handles that mix: rugged embedded computers built on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier, with eight GMSL inputs and four PoE+ ports in a fanless enclosure of 212.6 x 149.0 x 60.4 mm.

Every EAC-3000 shares the same design. The Jetson AGX Xavier pairs an 8-core NVIDIA Carmel Arm v8.2 CPU with a 512-core Volta GPU, 64 Tensor cores and two NVDLA engines, and Vecow quotes up to 32 TOPS under Ubuntu 18.04 with JetPack. Four IEEE 802.3at GbE PoE+ ports deliver 25.5 W each, a fifth GbE port carries the uplink, and eight Fakra-Z connectors accept GMSL 1 or GMSL 2 cameras. Four USB 3.0 ports, two RS-232/422/485 ports, two CAN FD ports with optional isolation and two digital display outputs complete the I/O, with an M.2 Key M 2280 socket, 32 GB eMMC and microSD for storage.

The range splits on memory. The EAC-3000-R64 carries 64 GB LPDDR4x for larger models and several networks running at once. The EAC-3000-R32 carries 32 GB LPDDR4x for detection, tracking and inspection models that fit within that memory. Both EAC-3000 models share the same camera inputs, PoE+ ports, CAN FD and enclosure, so the choice comes down to the model set. Both also offer two digital display outputs at up to 4K at 30 Hz, which helps where an operator screen sits in the cab beside the computer, and the EAC-3000F fan-sink versions allow the module to run in MAX mode.

EAC-3000 computers typically serve in-vehicle computing, robotic control, construction machinery and medical imaging. A 9 V to 50 V DC input with 16-mode software ignition control suits vehicle power, and the computer runs without a fan from -20°C to 70°C in 30 W mode. Shock and vibration are tested to MIL-STD-810G, Vecow lists EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 EMC compliance, and two SIM sockets with M.2 Key B and Key E support 5G, 4G and Wi-Fi with Allxon remote management.
