Yocto Support Recently Added for AAEON Boxers

Aiming to support embedded AI computing, the BOXER-8200AI series is designed for embedded markets in both hardware and software. The series includes AI engines from NVIDIA Jetson NANO or Xavier NX and provides industrial interfaces, power voltage, and thermal dissipation. The enabling of industrial operating systems, such as Yocto, is the key part in bringing AI to the embedded market.

The Yocto Project provides the tools to develop tailored embedded Linux distributions for any device, platform, or project. This is made possible across multiple verticals including retail, healthcare, transportation, robotics and industrial automation. Building custom systems enables developers to minimize required storage space, memory usage, and security risk surface thereby achieving optimal performance.

Moreover, AAEON Europe provides customization on the enabled platforms in hardware de-population, creation of board support packages on ODM products, integration of customer applications into Yocto, as well as support and maintenance plans.

Customizations for variety of use cases

Create a customized system that is optimized for a range of specific use cases. Being a major player in multiple vertical markets, AAEON is specialized in populating custom models to fulfill different industrial standards, and this expertise could be fully extended to AAEON AI embedded box PC.

Creating BSP for ODM products

Develop board support packages (BSP) to support fully custom projects with Yocto. Industrial grade systems can be built from the ground up to ensure optimal configuration and tailored functionalities.

Integration services

For customers who have already developed their own application but want to use Yocto in their production, AAEON can integrate their applications to be used within Yocto. Customers can then take advantage of a completely integrated and production ready system.

Support and maintenance plans

It is a complex activity to manage security and maintaining an embedded platform over time once the system is deployed. AAEON works together with software partners within its eco-system, such as Koan Software, to offer support and maintenance plans for customers at a variety of levels: device management, Over the Air Updates (OTA), software bugfixes and improvements, system hardening and security updates, etc.
