QCS051 – Compact 2.5" Pico-ITX Motherboard with Qualcomm® QCS6490 for Edge AI and AMR

The QCS051 from DFI is a compact industrial 2.5" Pico-ITX motherboard designed for edge AI, autonomous mobile robots (AMR), industrial automation, and intelligent embedded systems. The platform is powered by the Qualcomm® QCS6490 or optional QCS5430 processor, delivering up to 12 TOPS (INT8) AI performance with excellent power efficiency.

The system features a Qualcomm® Kryo™ 670 octa-core processor running up to 2.7 GHz alongside integrated Qualcomm® Adreno™ 643L graphics. It supports LPDDR5x memory with 4GB or 8GB capacity and includes UFS 3.1 storage with up to 128GB by default. The fanless design makes it ideal for compact and rugged industrial environments.

For industrial expansion, the QCS051 provides 1× M.2 B-Key 3052, 1× M.2 E-Key 2230, and a Nano SIM slot for 5G, LTE, or WiFi connectivity. Additional industrial interfaces include CAN FD, RS-232, 8-bit DIO, multiple USB ports, and 2× MIPI-CSI2 camera interfaces for AI vision and machine vision applications.

The motherboard supports Linux-based operating systems including Yocto Linux and optional Ubuntu support. With fanless operation, low power consumption, and extended operating temperatures up to -25°C to 75°C, the platform is ideal for robotics, smart logistics, industrial control systems, and edge AI deployments.
