Current pressure-test sample.

These records test whether the same claim-level schema can preserve meaningful differences across unlike products.

Embedded AI system-on-moduleactive

NVIDIA

Jetson AGX Orin 64GB

A high-end Jetson module whose headline TOPS value is an INT8 sparse throughput claim and must be paired with its power mode and workload precision.

Raspberry Pi

Compute Module 5

A general-purpose embedded compute module with unusually long published production availability and flexible carrier-board integration.

Rugged edge-AI computeractive

Advantech

MIC-733-AO

A complete industrial computer that adds wide-input power, rugged I/O and expansion around an AGX Orin module; module TOPS must not be mistaken for whole-system performance.

Seeed Studio

reComputer Industrial J4012

An industrial Jetson system whose robotics value comes from exposed CAN, serial, Ethernet and digital I/O in addition to module AI throughput.

Industrial system-on-moduleactive

Toradex

Verdin iMX8M Plus Quad 4GB WB IT

An industrial SoM whose real-time core, CAN-FD and maintained OS ecosystem may matter more to a robot controller than a large TOPS headline.

8 claims8 MChecked 2026-08-10
Embedded AI system-on-moduleactive

NVIDIA

Jetson Orin NX 16GB

A compact Jetson module whose current Super headline must be separated into sparse and dense INT8 throughput and tied to software and power mode.

Raspberry Pi

Compute Module 4

A widely deployed embedded module with a public production commitment and explicit standard versus extended temperature variants.

Industrial system-on-moduleactive

Toradex

Verdin AM62 Quad 2GB WB IT

A low-power industrial SoM that exposes real-time and CAN-FD integration features rather than a neural-accelerator headline.

Fanless edge AI computeractive

AAEON

BOXER-8651AI

A compact Orin NX system whose system-level ports and input range are distinct from the underlying Jetson module capabilities.

Toradex

Verdin iMX95 Hexa 8GB WB IT

An i.MX95 Verdin configuration whose public revision table exposes active EOL and replacement churn rather than hiding it.

Open-source robot control boardactive

ROBOTIS

OpenCR1.0

The exact TurtleBot3 Burger controller-board identity. Public hardware specifications expose controller, I/O and power boundaries, while the installed firmware and the MPU9250-to-ICM-20648 hardware transition require unit-level evidence.

Single-board computeractive

Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.1

The revision-bounded Raspberry Pi 5 identity published by OpenAMR. Raspberry Pi’s current product page supports family-level specifications; it does not by itself provide a Rev 1.1 change manifest or prove the selected OpenAMR unit.

PJRC

Teensy 4.0

The exact real-time controller named by the OpenAMR responsibility-party component table, separated from the processor identity and from any flashed firmware or carrier wiring.

Single-board computer familyactive

Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi 5

The family-level product identity used by LeKiwi, TrotBot and optional AlohaMini configurations. It is deliberately separate from the OpenAMR-specific Rev 1.1 record and does not infer a board revision from a RAM label.

Embedded processoractive

Intel

Intel Atom x7425E (FJ8071504822030 / SRMLN)

The exact tray ordering code, spec code and stepping are attached to the processor record. Processor specifications do not identify a carrier board, BIOS, memory population, cooling system or robot workload.

Adaptive edge-compute system-on-moduleactive

AMD

SM-K26-XCL2GC

The commercial-grade part number is separated from the industrial variant and from Kria starter kits. Product-page architecture claims do not prove a complete robot carrier, thermal design, firmware image or sustained workload.

DIN-rail embedded industrial PClegacy

Beckhoff Automation

CX5130-0100

The exact -0100 order suffix is retained: no operating system and no TwinCAT are included. CPU-module specifications do not establish a complete real-time robot controller, I/O terminal set, licenses or deterministic performance.

First deliverable

Expand compute records; add workload, power-mode and production-lifecycle evidence

Publication gate: a record needs a stable model identity, at least one traceable first-party source, useful integration fields, a last-verified date and visible evidence labels.
