CPU Board G029

High-Performance Embedded Computing

The G029 is a 3U CompactPCI Serial CPU board featuring 13th Gen Intel Core processors with up to 14 cores (6P+8E) and up to 96 GB of soldered dual-channel DDR5-5200 IBECC RAM. Introducing Intel’s new hybrid architecture with a combination of Performance and Efficiency cores, the G029 raises the bar for embedded solutions with a flat 20-25% performance-per-watt increase over the existing G28. It is perfect for on-board railway applications as virtualization and central maintenance platform, but can also be utilized as a foundation for next-gen AI technologies or Wi-Fi and passenger internet access.

Scalable and Rugged

duagon further extends CPU scalability with options ranging from 15 W to 45 W TDP and a multitude of P/E core configurations to perfectly suit operational needs even in harsh ambient temperatures of up to +70 °C (+85 °C for 10 min.) A custom solid block heat sink provides optimal heat dissipation without the use of moving parts. All components are soldered for protection against shock and vibration according to applicable DIN, EN or IEC industry standards. To make it even more enduring, all models come with coating and underfilling as standard. All models come with fast 120 GB NVMe storage (more as an option).

Gateway to Embedded AI

The integrated Intel Iris Xe GPU with up to 96 Execution Units is AI-ready for a wide range of applications like intelligent CCTV with object and anomaly detection for improved passenger security.

Intel OpenVINO toolkit, combined with the accessibility of pre-trained models such as YOLO, serves as a robust foundation for seamless deployment of AI inference applications in real-world scenarios.

Comprehensive Management

A versatile board management controller provides intelligent monitoring and supervision of all vital signals including supply and on-board voltages, temperatures and a watchdog for the OS. Additionally, the G029 supports Intel AMT remote out-of-band management and holds a discrete TPM module for hardware-based system security.

Future-safe with Certified Reliability

The G029 supports Linux and real-time operating systems and is pending certification for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2-9.x, adding even more benefits in terms of performance, reliability and updates.

Long-term availability ensures extended product life and future-safety, and an optional rechargeable battery contributes further to a reduction in maintenance required. The G029 is backwards compatible to duagon products G28, G25A (G029 with 10G Ethernet) and G23.
