BIOSTAR, a leading manufacturer of edge computing solutions, motherboards, graphics cards, and storage devices, is excited to introduce the AI-NONXS Developer Kit, a high-performance edge AI development platform engineered to accelerate edge AI deployment for system integrators and AI software developers.
Designed to support NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano series modules, the AI-NONXS Developer Kit empowers users to efficiently build and deploy AI-powered solutions across a broad range of real-world applications. From smart manufacture, smart retail, and automated warehouses to smart cities, transportation, and smart agriculture, the AI-NONXS provides the computing power, flexibility, and reliability required for advanced edge systems.
The AI-NONXS Developer Kit comes with a comprehensive set of industrial-grade interfaces, including 4 USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, 1 Micro-USB port, dual Gigabit Ethernet (1 x 1GbE and 1 x 2.5GbE with optional Power over Ethernet), and RS232/422/485, CANBUS, TPM (opt.), audio Line-Out/MIC-In and Speaker out. It operates within a wide temperature range of –20°C to 60°C and supports a flexible power input range of 12V to 20V, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments. For visual input and expansion capabilities, the kit includes HDMI 2.1 (for Orin NX) or HDMI 1.4 (for Orin Nano), dual MIPI CSI connectors, and three M.2 slots (Key-M, Key-E, and Key-B) for storage, wireless communication, and modular upgrades.
With full support for Linux and NVIDIA JetPack 6.2 including its Super Mode performance profile, the platform enables on-device inference for modern AI workloads, such as large language models (LLMs), small language models (SLMs), vision-language models (VLMs), vision transformers (ViT), Stable Diffusion (text-to-image) and DeepSeek R1 etc.
With Super Mode enabled, the AI-NONXS unlocks significant performance gains for advanced vision-based and multimodal applications. It offers full support for Vision Transformers (ViT), delivering up to 2X faster performance for improved image recognition accuracy, accelerated inference, and responsive real-time visual processing. Vision-Language Models (VLMs) also benefit from up to a 2.5X performance boost, enabling faster visual understanding, efficient multimodal integration, and real-time decision-making at the edge, making the AI-NONXS Developer Kit exceptionally well-suited for intelligent perception tasks across industrial and embedded environments.
The AI-NONXS Developer Kit delivers the intelligence and performance needed to drive next-generation edge AI solutions across a wide range of industries. In smart retail, it powers technologies such as automated checkout, real-time inventory management, in-store traffic analytics, and shopper behavior analysis. In smart manufacturing settings, it enables advanced visual inspection, predictive maintenance, and perceptive robotics.
For smart city infrastructure, the platform supports traffic flow optimization, number plate recognition, perimeter protection, and sensor fusion for real-time monitoring and control. Within transportation and logistics, it facilitates efficient fleet management, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and intelligent cargo inspection. In agriculture, the AI-NONXS empowers applications like autonomous tractors, AI-powered harvesting, robotic pollinators, livestock health monitoring, and precision spraying, bringing powerful AI capabilities directly to the field.
With its compact industrial design, AI model versatility, and robust connectivity, BIOSTAR AI-NONXS Developer Kit is the ideal foundation for edge AI systems that require reliable, low-latency performance and maximum deployment flexibility.
