Compact, Lightweight Industrial Hardware

Acknowledged as the UK’s leading source of advanced embedded technology, Solid State Supplies Ltd. now stocks the RICO-3288 Pico-ITX fan-less board from Aaeon, which is based on the Android operating system. Central to the board’s elevated levels of performance is the 32-bit Rockchip RK3288 ARM® Cortex™-A17 quad-core processor which proves extremely efficient at multi-tasking when compared to dual-core devices. Running at up to 1.6GHz, this IC has advanced graphics processing and video decode functionality (supporting 60fps 2160 pixel H.265 decoding). As well as 2GBytes of built-in DDR and 16GByte eMMC resource, there is provision on the RICO-3288 board for additional 64GByte Micro SD card memory. Among the array of different I/Os incorporated on the standard board are HDMI 2.0 (enabling 3840 x 2160 pixel display output) and Gigabit Ethernet, as well as a Micro USB port (featuring USB On-the-Go), 3 standard USB 2.0 interfaces, plus an RS-232 interface and a combined RS-232/422/485 interface (for connecting with legacy infrastructure). Board variants are available that deal with wireless communication aspects – 3G/LTE being facilitated through a full size Mini PCIe slot and nano-SIM holder, along with integrated Wi-Fi/BT4.0 for local area networking. This product is highly suited to incorporation with machine vision/manufacturing inspection equipment, point-of-sales units, digital signage, industrial HMIs, vending machines, test instrumentation and edge-to-cloud applications etc. In addition, a dedicated I/O connector for expansion via daughter cards with CANbus and GPS enables applications such as fleet management to be addressed.

Weighing just 0.4 kg, this board has a compact form factor (with dimensions of 100mm x 72mm). Its operational temperature range spans from 0°C to 60°C (with an extended version covering -20°C to 70°C also available). To ensure functional longevity, it has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 80,000 hours. It comes with CE (as well as FCC) certification. To accompany the Aaeon offering, Solid State Supplies Ltd. has an extensive portfolio of display solutions (both bespoke and off-the-shelf) from its Ginsbury division.
