Myir has announced a 37 x 39mm system-on-module (SoM) built around NXP’s i.MX 91 processor, which has a single 1.4GHz Arm Cortex-A55 core. “This module maintains pin compatibility with Myir’s existing i.MX93 MYC-LMX9X series, allows customers to scale designs without hardware redesigns,” according to the company. “It is capable of running Linux [6.6.36], making it perfect for electric vehicle charging ...
Variscite is developing a 55 x 30mm system-on-module around NXP’s i.MX 91 processor IC, which has a 1.4GHz Cortex-A55 core. Named DART-MX91, the board will be equipped LPDDR4 memory between 512 Mbyte and 2Gbyte depending on options selected, and eMMC storage between 8 and 64Gbyte. Interfaces include: dual CAN-FD, dual Gigabit Ethernet, dual USB, Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi6 802.11 ax/ac/a/b/g/n. ...
Congatec is to ship an installed hypervisor with many of its x86 computer-on-modules as standard. The hypervisor in question is related to RTS Hypervisor from Real-Time Systems – a company owned by Congatec, and installed as part of the BIOS. “It uses the same technology as RTS Hypervisor, but it is integrated in the modules” the company told Electronics Weekly, ...
AMD has introduced a motor driver starter kit for its Kria K24 system-on-module – which is built around a Zynq UltraScale+ IC and measures 60 x 42 x 11mm. The kit, called KD240 drives starter kit, includes the module, a carrier card and a heat sink. Included is 2Gbyte (2chan x 256Mbit x 16bit/chan) of LPDDR4, and a 512Mbit QSPI ...
iWave has announced system-on-modules built around Intel’s Agilex 5 E-series FPGAs, which have AI algorithm support. iW-RainboW-G58M measures 60 x 70mm, and is available with any of the 5 E-series ICs that come in Intel’s B32A (32x32mm) package. “Agilex 5 system-on-module is an ideal building block for equipment used in wireless communications, video, broadcast and industrial test and measurement sectors,” ...
Variscite has added neural processing to a 33 x 68mm edge-connected Arm computer-on-module with built-in security and Wi-Fi 6. Centred on NXP’s iMX93 processor and called VAR-SOM-MX93, the module has a 1GHz NPU (neural processing unit) for AI and machine learning algorithms with 256 MACs (2ops/MAC) which can handle 8bit and 16bit integer RNNs, and 8bit weights. Alongside this are ...
Powertip has created a multi-option display-driving single-board computer (right) that uses daughter boards (left below) to add Quad core 64bit Arm CPUs running at 1.6GHz – either NXP with four Cortex-A53 CPUs, or Rockchip with four Cortex-A35 CPUs. “Engineers will often want to work with Linux-based software to develop their own graphic interfaces,” according to Berkshire-based distributor Inelco Hunter. “The ...
iWave has added an NXP i.MX 91 option to its iW-RainboW-G50M family of OSM v1.1 solderable LGA system-on-modules. These recently introduced processors flesh-out the low end of NXP’s i.MX 9x range with a single Arm Cortex-A55 core, intended to run Linux in edge devices. As well as the 45 x 45mm (size L) system-on-module, iWave has created a 100 x ...
