Firefly has introduced the EC-AGXOrin, a compact edge AI computer built to power modern artificial intelligence workloads in the real world. From in-vehicle computing and robotic control to machine vision, intelligent video analytics, and mobile robots, this system is engineered for demanding, latency-sensitive applications.
At the heart of the EC-AGXOrin is NVIDIA’s Jetson AGX Orin module, combining a 12-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU with an Nvidia Ampere GPU. The platform delivers up to 275 TOPS of AI performance, enabling advanced workloads such as large language models, large vision models, and AI image generation. It also supports critical perception tasks including object recognition, target detection and tracking, and speech recognition. With wide sensor and actuator compatibility, teams can build complex control systems that bridge AI inference with real-world inputs and outputs.
Despite its power, the unit remains compact at 277.95 x 136.09 x 88.0 mm, making it suitable for space-constrained deployments. It comes equipped with 64 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 64 GB of onboard eMMC storage, with room to expand via an M.2 2280 SSD. For visual output, users can leverage HDMI 2.0 or specialized GMSL2 connections, ideal for high-bandwidth camera pipelines in robotics and automotive use cases.
Connectivity and I/O are a standout. The EC-AGXOrin provides multiple Ethernet options, including 10 Gbps and 5 Gbps, alongside USB 3.0 and USB 3.2 for peripherals and sensors. Industrial and automation-friendly interfaces include Phoenix connectors, RS485, RS232, CAN 2.0, and UART, giving developers the flexibility to integrate with a wide variety of devices across manufacturing, logistics, and autonomous systems.
