Axiomtek’s “PICO52R” Pico-ITX SBC delivers an Intel 8th Gen UE-series CPU, triple display support, 2x GbE, 2x USB 3.0, SATA, M.2, and -20 to 60°C support.
The Intel 8th Gen Whiskey Lake-UE powered PICO52R can be considered an update to Axiomtek’s 7th Gen Kaby Lake-U based PICO51R. The 100 x 72mm SBC joins two other Whiskey Lake Pico-ITXers — Commell’s LP-178 and Aaeon’s PICO-WHU4 — and it’s the only one with extended -20 to 60°C support.

Earlier this year, Axiomtek launched a CEM521 COM Express Compact Type 6 module with the 15W, up to quad-core Whiskey Lake processors. Although no OS is listed here, we are confident that like the CEM521 the PICO-52R supports Linux and Windows.
Unlike the rival Commell and Aaeon boards, the PICO52R offers an option for 64GB eMMC. However, it lacks the PICO-WHU4’s mini-PCIe slot with mSATA support. Instead of the pair of HDMI ports on the PICO-WHU4, the PICO-52R follows the LP-178’s lead in offering HDMI, DisplayPort, and LVDS with triple simultaneous display support.

Like the other boards, the PICO-52R has 2x GbE, SATA, M.2 E-key 2230, and dual USB coastline ports. Its pair of USB 3.0 ports splits the difference between Aaeon’s USB 2.0 and Commell’s USB 3.1 Gen2. Like the LP-178, it also has a pair of internal USB 2.0 connectors, among other I/O.
