Polyhex launches DEBIX Model A – an industrial single-board computer

Polyhex Technology has rolled out the DEBIX Model A, an industrial-grade single-board computer powered by an NXP i.MX 8M Plus quad-core Cortex-A53 processor. To target industrial automation, IoT, and multimedia applications, the hardware integrates a 2.3 TOPS neural processing unit with expandable storage.

DEBIX Model A single-board computer comes with 2GB of LPDDR4 memory and a microSD card for storage. The company claims it can also be upgraded to 4GB or 6GB of RAM and can optionally handle up to 64GB of eMMC storage. A LoRa board compatible with the DEBIX Model A as well as an I/O extension board are also offered by Polyhex, opening up countless possibilities. To operate effectively in a harsh environment, the hardware has industrial-grade components and a CPU temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. It provides powerful network control of peripherals in industrial control, industrial automation, and IoT by combining the Gigabit network, 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0.
