ECU Equipped with AGX Xavier Industrial
Equipped with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Industrial
We adopt the Industrial module that extends the functionality of the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier System on Module. The Jetson AGX Xavier Industrial module achieves AI performance of 30 trillion operations per second (30 TOPS) while maintaining an energy-efficient design.
6 Automotive-Grade SerDes Camera Interfaces
We utilize Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link SerDes IC (GMSL) commonly used in automotive applications. By incorporating 6 channels of dedicated GMSL camera interfaces without using USB or Ethernet, we address two trending demands: 'enhanced image quality' and 'increased number of cameras.'
GMSL (Analog Devices) Image Transmission Interface
Robust Enclosure with Waterproof and Dustproof (IP66) Specifications
The system features a rugged enclosure with waterproof and dustproof protection (IP66), designed for outdoor environments.
It ensures reliable operation even in harsh conditions such as agricultural fields, construction sites, manufacturing floors, and factories—where vibration, shock, water, oil, dust, and airborne particles are present.

Various Applications
Utilizing Developed Assets from Jetson Developer Kits
By using the NVIDIA JetPack SDK, we achieve a user experience similar to the commonly used development environment, allowing for the direct use of developed software assets.
Achieving Surrounding Awareness with 6 Cameras + α
By leveraging a rich variety of camera interfaces, we can achieve surrounding awareness for mobility using 4 cameras, while also placing 2 additional cameras on the objects of work or movable parts.

Try the Reference ECU through a Rental Service
We can try the reference ECU, including the camera, in advance to verify its operation in the actual usage environment. After this evaluation, we can proceed with the purchase or custom development of the reference ECU.
