In its new Rugged Computer RPC RS A4NA, Syslogic combines the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ Nano with four GMSL2 inputs. These video interfaces enable the reception of high-resolution sensor data at speeds of up to 6 Gbit/s. GMSL is commonly used in sensor fusion systems where data from multiple high-resolution cameras and other sensors – such as radar or lidar – is transmitted, synchronized, and processed in real time.
The Syslogic embedded computer is purpose-built for mobile use. With its compact, robust housing, the RS A4NA is ideally suited for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), collaborative robots (cobots), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), agricultural machinery, and off-highway applications.
Beyond high data rates, GMSL technology offers additional advantages over conventional transmission methods. Power-over-Coax (PoC) significantly reduces wiring complexity by delivering both power and data over a single coaxial cable. Cameras and other sensors can thus be powered directly without separate power lines. GMSL2 also supports the transmission of control commands, synchronization signals, software updates, and status information.
To ensure near-zero latency when processing sensor data, Syslogic integrates NVIDIA’s Jetson Orin Nano System-on-Module (SoM) into the RS A4NA. Its GPU operates at up to 1020 MHz, delivering an impressive AI performance of up to 67 TOPS.
The Rugged Computer RS A4NA comes in a fully sealed housing with IP67 and IP69 protection ratings, safeguarding it from dust, moisture, and water ingress. To achieve high shock and vibration resistance, Syslogic has combined the NVIDIA module with a custom-designed carrier board. The system is engineered for reliable operation in extreme environments, with an extended temperature range from –40 to +70 °C.
