Vecow EAC-4000-AR08 NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 8GB Embedded Box PC with 40 TOPS, Dual COM and -25 to 55 °C

Rolling one model out to dozens of sites changes the sums. Each unit needs enough GPU for the job, but paying for spare NVDLA engines and memory on every one adds up. The Vecow EAC-4000-AR08 is the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB build of the EAC-4000 series, a fanless embedded box PC rated at up to 40 TOPS that keeps the full 1024-core GPU of the larger modules.

The Orin Nano 8GB combines a six-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU, a 1024-core NVIDIA Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor Cores and 8 GB of LPDDR5. It has no NVDLA engine and no hardware video encoder, so it suits models that run on the GPU and pipelines that decode camera streams rather than re-encode them; HEVC decode reaches one 4K stream at 60 fps or five 1080p streams at 60 fps. Vecow supports Super Mode on the Orin Nano. We supply the EAC-4000-AR08 with JetPack 6.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 and an NVMe SSD from 128 GB to 1 TB fitted.

On the panel are one Gigabit Ethernet port on RJ45, four USB 3.1 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.0 at up to 4K at 60 Hz, a micro USB flash port and a nano SIM slot, with two DB9 COM ports at the rear for RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485. A full-size Mini PCIe socket takes an optional 4G or Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module with two antennas, and the SSD runs in an M.2 Key M socket on PCIe 4.0 x4.

The box PC runs on 12 V DC through a three-pin terminal block and has no fan, rated from -25 °C to 55 °C in 15 W mode. Vecow lists MIL-STD-810G shock and vibration testing and EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 compliance. It mounts on a wall, or on DIN rail with the optional kit. The EAC-4000-XR08 adds an NVDLA engine and hardware encode, and the EAC-4000-AR04 halves the memory for lighter models.
