Jetway JNUC-ADN1

The JNUC-ADN1 from Jetway is an Intel-based board in a NUC (Next Unit of Computing) form factor that’s designed for edge computing, the IoT, and industrial applications. The board is built around an Intel N97 quad-core Alder Lake N-series processor with integrated UHD graphics. It also packs up to 16 GB of DDR5 RAM via a single SO-DIMM socket and up to 64 GB of eMMC 5.1 flash (optional). The board incorporates a SATA 3 and a single M-Key 2260/2280 (SATA/PCIe 3.0 x2) with NVMe support.

USB options are also plentiful with the JNUC-ADN1, which features a pair of USB3.2 Gen 2 ports, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports and a single USB 2.0 port. Additional ports include RS-232/422/485 serial ports, HDMI 2.0b, DP1.4, and 2x Type C DP1.4. Communication is handled by a pair of 2.5-GbE RJ45 ports (via Intel i225-V controller) and wireless expansion via an E-key 2230 with CNVio support.
