Advantech Unveils MIC-332: A Revolutionary 3U CPCI-Serial AI Inference Board Powered by NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™

KunShan, China, January 20th, 2025 - Advantech (TWSE: 2395), a global leader in Industrial IoT, is excited to announce its latest innovation for 2025. In response to the burgeoning growth of AI applications worldwide, Advantech proudly introduces the MIC-332, a groundbreaking 3U CPCI-Serial AI inference board based on the NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ platform. This innovative product empowers customers to accelerate edge AI development and deployment, combining exceptional performance with a compact design. Offering up to 275 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of computing power and a plethora of high-speed I/O options, the MIC-332 provides a perfect solution for mission-critical applications in industries such as rail transit, medical, manufacturing, and defense surveillance.
Compact Design, Versatile Connectivity
The MIC-332AO provides a wealth of I/O ports, including:
- 2 x USB 3.2, 2 x GbE LAN, and 1 x HDMI on a 4HP panel.
- 1 x DB9 RS232 or 4 x GMSL 2.0 ports, and 1 x Micro-USB on an 8HP front panel.
- 1 x M.2 NVMe internal mass storage via an 8HP second-layer extension card.
These features make it ideal for applications such as autonomous driving and image processing. The MIC-332AO can also operate as a primary or secondary unit in distributed multi-processing systems, leveraging interfaces like PCIe 3.0 x8, 10 GbE, and GbE to interconnect with other boards or I/O cards. This adaptability positions the MIC-332AO as the top choice for multi-system integration solutions in AI.
Powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin™
The MIC-332 runs on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin™ platform, with the Jetpack OS Suite customized by Advantech. The system defaults to Ubuntu 20.04 OS, preloaded on the integrated eMMC storage. For enhanced development efficiency, Advantech offers:
- Customized hardware test procedures and sample programs.
- Support for peripherals such as Wi-Fi and 4G modules with pre-installed drivers.
The NVIDIA platform’s unique advantages, including accelerated computing, AI software, and pre-trained models, simplify the creation, customization, and deployment of generative AI models. This reduces development time and speeds up product launches.
