Vecow EAC-6100-R16 NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB Robotics Computer with 4x GMSL Cameras

Mobile robots and autonomous machines usually see the world through automotive cameras on long, vibrating cable runs, and they need perception and planning to run on the same computer. The EAC-6100-R16 takes four GMSL cameras on locking Fakra-Z connectors with the 16GB Orin NX module. It is the 16GB robotics computer in the Vecow EAC-6100 series.

The EAC-6100-R16 runs an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB module with an 8-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU, a 1024-core NVIDIA Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor cores and two NVDLA engines, with 16 GB LPDDR5 memory. Vecow rates the Orin NX at up to 100 TOPS of AI performance, enough for several detection and tracking models at once. It ships with Linux and the NVIDIA JetPack SDK, and the module encodes HEVC at up to one 4K stream at 60 fps or six 1080p streams at 60 fps for recording or streaming results.

Cameras connect to the EAC-6100-R16 through four Fakra-Z connectors for GMSL1 or GMSL2 automotive cameras, and a CAN FD port links motor controllers and battery systems. Two GbE LAN ports on RJ45, with optional X-coded M12 connectors, join one USB 3.1 Gen 2 and two USB 3.1 ports, two COM RS-232/422/485 ports, 7-bit GPIO, a digital display output, micro USB console and recovery ports, a micro SD slot and an M.2 Key M NVMe SSD, while two M.2 Key B sockets, an M.2 Key E socket and dual SIM sockets take 5G, 4G or Wi-Fi modules.

Power comes in on 9 V to 50 V DC through a terminal block, with 16-mode software ignition control and a remote switch for vehicle and robot installs. The 193 x 132 x 80 mm, 1.9 kg unit wall-mounts or takes an optional DIN-rail kit, and Vecow rates it from -20 °C to 70 °C in 15 W mode and -20 °C to 55 °C in 25 W mode, with MIL-STD-810G operating shock and vibration and EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 EMC listings.
