Introduction to Mixtile Edge 2 (Kit)

Ready-to-Use SBC

Edge 2 is a high-performance and rich-interface ARM64 single board computer (SBC) targeted for a wide range of IoT networking and computing applications. It can be utilized in networking, computing, control systems, and home entertainment through the use of versatile software, enabling enhanced performance and functionality across these applications. Edge 2 integrates a Mixtile system on module (SoM) Core 3568, a WLAN+BT wireless module, and plenty of expansion interfaces.

Based on Edge 2, Edge 2 Kit adds a customizable enclosure and two external Wi-Fi antennas.

Highlights

  • Versatile network connectivity

With on-board Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), dual-mode Bluetooth 5.0, M.2 interfaces and mini-PCIe interfaces for expansion of Cellular, LoRa and Zigbee modules, Edge 2 supports multiple network connections.

  • High-scalability with rich interfaces

Mixtile Edge 2 reserves peripheral ports including M.2, mini-PCIe, RS-485, CAN, and UART to expand modules and customize various industrial solutions at a lower cost. It also provides RS-485 interface to meet the expansion needs of various industrial equipment.

  • Robust performance

Boasting the SoC of RK3568 inside, Edge 2 integrates high-performance NPU, ideal for deep learning frameworks of TensorFlow, Caffe, Tflite, Pytorch, Onnx NN, Android NN, etc. In addition to a long life cycle of 10 to 15 years, it can provide industrial-grade option with long and stable operation between -40°C and 85°C.

  • Strong audio and video functions

With 2xMIPI-DSI, HDMI2.0, and eDP video interfaces, it supports up to three screen output with different displays, which is ideal for NVRs and commercial display equipment.
