AAEON PICO-ASL4 Industrial SBC is Built Around Intel Atom x7000RE SoC and Comes in a Pico-ITX form factor

AAEON has recently released PICO-ASL4 Industrial SBC built around Intel Atom x7000RE-series Amston Lake SoCs. The SBC is designed for latency-sensitive applications and features a fanless design for applications with limited space and airflow.

The SBC also features dual Ethernet connectivity with Intel i226 2.5GbE and Realtek RTL8111H 1GbE controllers with TSN and TCN. HDMI, and LVDS/eDP for video output, M.2 2230 E-Key, mSATA/mPCIe for storage and connectivity. Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, as well as GPIO and SMBus/I2C headers and many other connectivity options.

Previously we have written about various Pico ITX-SBC including the  AAEON’s SRG-IMX8PL and PICO-IMX8PL, the AAEON RICO-3568, the AAEON PICO-RAP4 and much more feel free to check those out if you are interested in the topic.
