AAEON Announces EPIC-RPS7, a 4” Industrial Board with 14th Gen Intel Core CPU Support

Leading embedded computing platform provider AAEON, announced the release of the EPIC-RPS7, a 4” industrial single-board computer with support for 12^th, 13^th, and 14^th Generation Intel Core Processors (up to 65W) and up to 64GB of DDR5 (4800/5200) via two SODIMM slots. 

The board is positioned as a cost-efficient option for applications requiring greater computing performance in space constrained smart manufacturing setups like industrial control, PLC automation, and remote monitoring, where the installation of a board based on the larger Mini ITX form factor could prove challenging. 

Demonstrating a substantial design improvement on its predecessors, the EPIC-RPS7 is equipped with a total of eight USB interfaces, with four physical USB 3.2 Type-A ports paired with four USB 2.0 via pin header. In addition to this, the board hosts four COM connectors (two for RS-232/422/285 and two for RS-232), an 8-bit GPIO, as well as SMBus and I2C. A feature further differentiating the board, particularly for industrial environments, is its support for both 19V to 24V and 12V power inputs via an 8-pin DC input socket. 

The EPIC-RPS7 provides a number of options for both wired and wireless connectivity, with two LAN ports running at both 2.5GbE and 1GbE speed, one full-size Mini Card/mSATA slot, a Nano SIM slot, and both an M.2 2280 M-Key and M.2 2230 E-Key for NVMe and Wi-Fi module installation, respectively. 

For display, the EPIC-RPS7 provides DP 1.2 for 3840 x 2160 @60Hz, VGA at 1920 x 1080, and a dual-channel LVDS connector for three simultaneous display outputs.
