The ASTRIAL Industrial 2E001866 is a compact System-on-Module developed by System Electronics for industrial edge computing and artificial intelligence applications.
It combines the NXP i.MX 8M Plus application processor with a dedicated Hailo-8 AI accelerator, creating a heterogeneous computing platform capable of running Linux applications, real-time control tasks, computer vision pipelines and neural-network inference within the same embedded system.
The integrated Hailo-8 accelerator provides up to 26 TOPS of AI inference performance, enabling demanding deep-learning workloads to run directly at the edge. This makes the module suitable for applications such as object detection, facial recognition, visual inspection, autonomous mobile robots, robotics and intelligent surveillance.
The NXP i.MX 8M Plus platform incorporates four Cortex-A53 application cores and a Cortex-M7 real-time core. It also provides an integrated neural-processing capability of approximately 2.3 TOPS, hardware H.264/H.265 video processing, dual ISP capability and GPU resources for graphical interfaces.
Part number 2E001866 is configured with 8 GB RAM and 32 GB eMMC storage, providing substantial memory and local storage for Linux, AI models, application software and embedded data processing.
The industrial configuration also integrates the NXP EdgeLock SE050 secure element, providing hardware-based security capabilities for connected IoT and industrial applications.
For connectivity and system integration, the ASTRIAL platform supports Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, UART, I2C, SPI, SDIO, PCM, PWM, HDMI, CAN bus, MIPI CSI and MIPI DSI, together with a GPIO header for additional embedded peripherals.
The board follows a compact CM4 footprint of approximately 40 × 55 mm, allowing developers to integrate powerful AI acceleration into compact industrial systems while using a familiar embedded module architecture.
System Electronics specifies the industrial 2E001866 configuration for -25°C to +85°C operation, making it suitable for industrial environments where wider temperature tolerance is required.
Software support includes Linux Yocto Kirkstone / LTS and associated development resources, enabling developers to build embedded AI applications using a supported industrial Linux environment.
