AAEON and Intel support both Windows 11 64-bit and Ubuntu 24.04/25.04 and later. It’s termed an “open robotics development system” because it’s backed by the Open Edge Platform, with Intel providing reference setup scripts for diverse Intel platforms and GPUs. Although not yet listed on the Open Edge Platform page, it appears on the Intel website.

The AAEON CEXD-INTRBL system can be pre-ordered for $3,200 on the AAEON eShop, with expected availability by late June. More details can be found on the product page.
