Taiwanese firm IBase Technology has launched a compact motherboard for smart retail, machine vision, kiosk and other embedded applications.

The PI900 Pico-ITX motherboard combines integrated AI acceleration with up to 48Gbyte of DDR5-5600 memory. Powered by Intel Core Ultra 100U processors featuring up to 12 cores and 14 threads, it integrates CPU, GPU and NPU capabilities to accelerate edge AI processing and support data-intensive workloads.

Designed for flexibility, it supports HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a via USB type-C and LVDS display interfaces. Its expansion architecture lets system integrators configure the platform for diverse project requirements.

For system integration, it provides an M.2 M-Key socket supporting NVMe or SATA storage and an M.2 E-Key socket for optional wifi and Bluetooth connectivity. Integrated 2.5GbE LAN, multiple USB interfaces, an RS-232, 422 and 485 serial port, and digital IO support peripheral connectivity across a range of embedded applications.

Measuring 100 by 72mm, the PI900 delivers computing performance, edge AI capabilities and high-capacity memory support within space-constrained embedded equipment. A TPM, 256-level watchdog timer, hardware monitoring and +12V DC input help ensure secure and reliable system operation.

Available with Intel Core Ultra 5 125U or Core Ultra 7 155U processors, the PI900 (www.ibase.com.tw/en/product/category/Embedded_Computing/Motherboard/PICO_ITX_Motherboard/PI900) is a scalable platform for developing smarter, more responsive and space-efficient embedded applications.
