AAEON, a leading developer of edge AI solutions, has unveiled the BOXER-8655AI, the latest addition to its fanless embedded AI system lineup powered by the NVIDIAJetson Orin platform. Equipped with either an 8GB or 16GB Jetson Orin NX module with Super Mode, the system delivers up to 157 TOPS of AI performance.
Specifically built for in-vehicle and smart mobility applications, the BOXER-8655AI features E-Mark certification, a rugged design, and integrated 9-axis sensor/GNSS support. It also supports up to eight GMSL2 cameras, similar to AAEON’s award-winning BOXER-8645AI, enabling low-latency video transmission over distances of up to 15 meters — ideal for real-time AI inferencing in demanding automotive environments.
The system’s I/O includes a DB-9 port for CANBus alongside a DB-15 port offering both RS-232(Rx/Tx)/422/485 and a programmable 8-bit DIO. For peripheral device installation such as radar, LiDAR, and other high-speed sensors, the system hosts five GbE RJ-45 and four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports. These are bolstered by the BOXER-8655AI’s 9-axis sensor and GNSS support, which can be leveraged for a range of fleet management and driver behavior analysis applications.
For storage, the BOXER-8655AI is equipped with both a 2.5” SATA drive bay and an M.2 2280 M-Key for NVMe. Meanwhile, the system offers Wi-Fi/BT and 5G/LTE modules via M.2 2230 E-Key and M.2 3042/3052 B-Key slots, respectively.
Measuring 246mm x 164.2mm x 88.8mm (3.6 liters), the BOXER-8655AI is considerably smaller than AAEON’s previous in-vehicle embedded systems. However, it maintains a wide 9V to 36V power input range with an ignition delay on/off function, MIL-STD-810G standard tolerance for both shock and vibration, E-Mark certification, and an extended -15°C to 70°C operating temperature range.
For model development and deployment, the BOXER-8655AI supports NVIDIA JetPack 6.0 and later, with a number of preinstalled SDK components included in the system’s BSP. The BOXER-8655AI is now in mass production and available via the AAEON eShop.
