Stevie
Stevie carrier for NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier
Stevie offers a compact, low-cost, feature-packed carrier board solution for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier computer module. STEVIE measures 92×105mm (~ 3.5×4.0″), just slightly larger than the AGX Xavier module (87×100mm). This small outline enables Stevie to provide the maximum amount of I/O and support full-size 2280 M.2 modules in the smallest possible size.
Stevie utilizes the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier embedded computer module to deliver unmatched performance for AI, machine learning, image processing, and other compute-intensive tasks. The Xavier module delivers up to 30 TeraOps in performance (3×1013 operations per second) at a maximum power dissipation of 30 watts. Xavier also offers scalable performance for applications requiring lower overall power consumption of 10 or 15 watts. The module runs at 32 TOPs on a 512-core Volta GPU with Tensor Cores and accelerators, enabling high-performance AI-powered autonomous machines like never before. At 87×100mm (3.4×3.9″) it is slightly bigger than the other Jetson modules.
The most popular I/O is located along the front edge of the board using commercial style panel I/O connectors. This facilitates installation in an enclosure with fewer internal cables, helping to further reduce overall system cost and size.
PCIe Minicard and M.2 sockets enable the installation of flashdisk and I/O expansion module to customize Stevie to your particular application requirements.
Stevie is ideal for NVIDIA Jetson Xavier applications in typical commercial / industrial environments requiring low cost and compact size. For mobile and outdoor applications requiring a higher degree of ruggedness or more advanced I/O, see Elton carrier with PCIe/104 I/O expansion.

Zeta Miniature COM-Based SBC
Ultra-Small Solution with Integrated DAQ using COM Express Mini Type 10 CPU Modules
The Zeta COM Express SBC family of ultra-small embedded computer boards combines a COM Express Mini CPU module mounted on a same-size carrier board to create a complete embedded PC. Designed in the COM Express Mini Type 10 form factor (84×55mm/ 3.3×2.2 in), Zeta provides an ultra-compact, industry-standard form factor solution.
3 key components pre-assembled:
A Computer on Module (COM) providing the core CPU functionality
A carrier board providing the I/O transceivers and connectors, power supplies, and expansion sockets
A heat spreader with a flat exterior surface for direct mounting and heat transfer to the system enclosure
This layered architecture offers the highest functional density for any given footprint. As a comparison, Zeta offers functionality and performance equivalent to Diamond’s top-selling Aries SBC at just 40% of the size.
Zeta currently supports three processor options:
Intel Bay Trail E3825 1.33GHz Dual Core CPU with 2GB RAM
Apollo Lake E3940 1.6GHz quad core CPU with 4GB RAM
Apollo Lake N4200 1.1GHz (burstable to 2.5GHz) Quad Core CPU with 8GB RAM
Zeta’s small size and high feature density make it an ideal choice for mobile applications. It stands ready to meet the challenges of these environments with a wide range 6-36VDC input voltage, a −40 to +85°C operating temperature range, and fanless heat spreader cooling (heat sink options are available).
Benefits of COM-based SBCs
The use of interchangeable industry-standard CPU modules on Zeta offers two important system designer benefits:
Performance scalability: One can design multiple applications based on a consistent hardware platform and select the CPU that best fits the price / performance / power requirements of each one. In addition, as time goes on and your application needs more horsepower to support increased functionality, you can simply upgrade to a newer CPU with minimal to no redesign effort.
Long product life: The majority of today’s x86 embedded processors offer limited lifecycles of 5-7 years, so any long-life product dependent on an x86 single-board computer (SBC) is likely to require redesign sometime during its lifecycle. Using industry-standard COMs lets you easily migrate to a new generation CPU module in the exact same form factor and containing the same feature set, with virtually no hardware or physical redesign efforts. Zeta is ideal for long-life applications such as Military, Medical, and Transportation.
