Alder Lake-N N97 or N100 on 86 x 90mm industrial SBC

Aaeon has announced 85.6 x 90mm industrial single-board computers with Intel Processor N-series (Alder Lake-N) CPUs.

Called ‘UP Squared 7100’, there is a choice of Processor N97 or N100.

Atom x7000E or Core i3 N-series can also be fitted to special order, and the board will also be compatible with Atom x7000RE (Amston Lake) CPUs starting from Q1 2025, said Aaeon.

Up to 16Gbyte of LPDDR5 and 128Gbyte of eMMC is available on the N97 version (maximum on part UPS-ASLN97-A10-16128), and expansion options include M.2 E and M-Keyed slots.

Display is through HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.2 and eDiaplayPort 1.3 interfaces “enabling it to support three simultaneous 4K displays at 60Hz”, said Aaeon. “This capability is complemented by a high dynamic graphics frequency, courtesy of the integrated Intel UHD Graphics for 12th Gen Processors, resulting in more seamless and expedited rendering processes.”

The 40pin GPIO connector from earlier members of the family is retained, and there are two RS-232/422/485 COM ports, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 ports on a header and dual Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports.

On-board features include a real-time clock, and TPM 2.0 for security.

Operation is across 0 – 60°C with sufficient air flow across the included heatsink, and from 12V (15 – 37W) from an ATX (default) or AT power supply.

Windows 10 and Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04 and Yocto 5.1 operating systems are supported.
