Edge nodes
Edge devices are the final point of contact for data from the cloud to the end user. An edge node is a physical device with a Linux or equivalent operating system that can serve data to an end user from the edge.
In Edgeworx Cloud , nodes are edge devices that run Edgeworx Agents. Ultimately, we want to deploy apps to these nodes to put them to work.
AI performance
We recommend the following components for processing real-time video using AI at the edge:
| Dev Board | Video | Power | AI Acceleration |
|---|---|---|---|
 |  |  |  |
| Raspberry Pi4 | Any Pi4 camera | 5.1V * 3.5A power | Coral Accelerator |
| Learn More | Learn More | Learn More | Learn More |
More compatible edge boards
Edgeworx Cloud is compatible with many edge boards, such as:
- Raspberry Pi 3 or 4
- Asus Tinker
- Nvidia Jetson Nano
- And more!
Supported Operating Systems
- Raspbian Buster
- Ubuntu 16.04+
- Debian 10+
Due to various differences across Linux distros and their respective updates, you may need to use older versions or install dependencies before using the node register script. If you experience issues with an OS please contact
support
.
If you don’t have any edge hardware yet, you can create a
virtual node
using Edgeworx Cloud, create a VM in the Cloud, a
Vagrant
image running on your device, or whatever virtualization software, and run
the node register script.
