BASEN is an original system for integrating AI algorithms. A jetson-like module makes up the computing core, and it is equipped with numerous interfaces dedicated to embedded systems. BASEN includes its own power regulation system, and can connect up to 5 vision systems via the MIPI protocol, 2 separate Ethernet networks and, of course, several interfaces such as HDMI, USB2, USB3…

Given the rapid evolution of hardware architectures for image processing and AI, it was decided to adopt a modular approach to selecting the BASEN system’s computing core. As a result, BASEN can support a variety of NVIDIA System-on-Modules” (SoMs) in SO-DIMM format. The board is currently based on a XavierNX SoM, but an upgrade to a future-generation core is possible (Table below).
