TAIPEI, Taiwan – AAEON Technology in Taipei, Taiwan, is introducing the PICO-ARU4 -- a Pico-ITX single-board computer equipped with the Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) Processor system (formerly Arrow Lake) to give systems integrators an AI-capable system that can be deployed in handheld or mobile computing solutions.
The PICO-ARU4 measures 100 by 72 millimeters, and offers a choice of the 15-Watt Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 255U or Intel Core Ultra 5 Processor 225U with 32 gigabytes of soldered LPDDR5.
For display, the embedded computing board hosts HDMI and eDP ports, granting two simultaneous outputs alongside integrated Intel Graphics. For networking and peripheral device installation, there are two LAN ports -- one 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet and the other 1 Gigabit Ethernet.
I/O ports
The board for artificial intelligence (AI) applications also offers two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and two COM port headers that offer RS-232/422/485 signals. Other internal connectors include a 4-bit GPIO, an SMBus header (co-lay I2C), and two USB 2.0 headers.
For expansion, the board hosts one SATA slot and an M.2 2280 M-Key (PCI Express Gen 4 x4), an M.2 2230 E-Key slot (PCI Express Gen 4 x1) for Wi-Fi 6, and other wireless communication card integration.
