The ASTRIAL Industrial 2E001894 is an industrial edge AI System-on-Module from System Electronics designed for embedded applications that require real-time processing, computer vision and neural-network inference directly at the edge.
The module combines the NXP i.MX 8M Plus application processor with a dedicated Hailo-8 AI accelerator. This heterogeneous architecture allows the same platform to run Linux applications, real-time control tasks, video processing and deep-learning inference without relying heavily on cloud infrastructure.
The integrated Hailo-8 accelerator provides up to 26 TOPS of AI inference performance, making the module suitable for demanding workloads such as object detection, image classification, face recognition, industrial inspection, robotics and intelligent surveillance.
The NXP i.MX 8M Plus platform adds four ARM Cortex-A53 application cores, a Cortex-M7 real-time core, integrated NPU capability, GPU resources and hardware video processing, enabling the system to handle both general-purpose embedded workloads and AI-specific tasks.
Part number 2E001894 is configured with 4 GB RAM and 16 GB eMMC, providing onboard memory and storage for Linux, application software, AI models and local data processing. System Electronics also integrates an EdgeLock SE050 secure element, providing hardware-based security for connected industrial systems.
The board follows a compact CM4-compatible module format, simplifying integration into custom carrier boards and embedded industrial systems. This form factor helps developers move from prototyping to production while maintaining a familiar board architecture.
For camera and embedded vision applications, the ASTRIAL platform supports MIPI CSI camera interfaces, dual ISP functionality, hardware H.264/H.265 video processing and display interfaces, making it suitable for smart cameras, machine vision and AI-enabled video systems.
The industrial ASTRIAL.I configuration is specified for operation from -25°C to +85°C, making the 2E001894 suitable for demanding factory, transportation and industrial environments.
The module can also be paired with System Electronics thermal accessories such as the 1E000502 Active Heatsink Astrial Kit. RS Components lists the combined configuration 2E001894/1E000502 as the Astrial Industrial Hailo8 4/16 with Heatsink Kit Development Board.
