What’s New? Windows 7, Digital Festival & Nvidia’s Development Kit

Windows 7 - The end has come

We already announced in our news in June last year that spo-comm can only provide support for Windows 10 on new systems.

And now the time has come for all other systems too. The Windows 7 SB versions are no longer available. The spo-comm Mini-PCs will now only be supplied with Windows 10(IoT) or - after consultation - with Windows 7 Embedded.

AI AI Captain: spo-comm at the Nuremberg Digital Festival 2019

We will be taking part in this year's Nuremberg Digital Festival with an exciting event under the motto of Artificial Intelligence. Here, our participants learn what Nvidia's CUDA programming technology has to do with AI and deep learning. We have summarized more information about our guest speakers, application examples from our customers and the event itself in a separate blog article.

CUDA & 4K: Nvidia's Jetson Nano Development Kit

As the name suggests, Nvidia has launched a new board for developers. It goes by the name of Jetson Nano and has four ARM processor cores with a performance of 1.43 GHz at its heart. These are combined with a 4GB LPDDR4 RAM. The Developer Kit has a total power consumption of just 5 watts. The Jetson Nano also comes with 128 CUDA cores with which videos can be encoded in a resolution of 4K@60 Hz in the H.264 standard and decoded in the H.265 standard.

Despite its small dimensions of just 100 x 80 x 29 mm, the Jetson Nano has passive cooling and numerous connections. These include five USB ports, one of which is a micro USB, an HDMI and DisplayPort for connecting monitors, as well as a Gigabit LAN port. A camera can also be connected via the CSI-2 and a microSD card slot is also available.

Further information on the Jetson Nano can be found here and in a video from Nvidia.
