New Eagle Expands Embedded Control Portfolio

New Eagle, a frontrunner in embedded software solutions and electronic control units, is set to revolutionize its Raptor ecosystem with the launch of the Raptor® High-Performance Compute Platform. This robust, GPU-accelerated embedded controller built on John Deere's Vision Processing Unit (VPU) was unveiled during the ACT Expo held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on April 24, 2025.

Unveiling the Raptor Platform

The Raptor platform marks a significant addition to New Eagle's hardware lineup, acting as the first high-performance compute target designed for advanced applications. Attendees at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo 2025, scheduled from April 28-30 in Anaheim, California, can witness the Raptor in action at booth #4801, where it will be showcased alongside New Eagle's pioneering cybersecurity and CAN gateway solutions.

Chris Baker, the CEO of New Eagle, commented, "The introduction of a GPU-powered compute platform into the Raptor ecosystem facilitates a new level of autonomy as well as vision-based control capabilities. This is a game changer for our customers, offering a scalable pathway from traditional embedded systems to cutting-edge AI applications on rugged hardware that aligns with familiar Raptor development workflows."

Key Features of the Raptor High-Performance Compute Platform

The Raptor High-Performance Compute Platform is constructed with next-generation technology and offers impressive performance metrics, featuring:

• - 275 TOPS of processing power: The capability to process vast amounts of data instantaneously makes this platform an ideal candidate for applications like Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), mobile robotics, rapid prototyping, and industrial automation.
• - Multiple Camera Inputs: It boasts the ability to handle up to 12 GMSL2 camera inputs utilizing Power-over-Coax (PoC) technology, streamlining video feeds crucial for autonomous and vision-based applications.
• - Rugged Design: Designed for real-world deployment, this platform comes with IP67 sealing and fanless passive cooling, alongside a broad voltage and temperature range, ensuring robustness in various operational conditions.
