If you bought the VAR-SOM-MX7 Evaluation Kit, in this video we will demonstrate how to set it up within 2 minutes. If you are thinking about buying the kit, you will see how quick and easy it is to use.
The VAR-SOM-MX7 Evaluation Kit is compatible with Variscite’s VAR-SOM-MX7 System on Module (SoM), based on ARM Cortex-A7 i.MX7 (by NXP / Freescale). The kit provides a great showcase of the VAR-SOM-MX7 performance and connectivity features including certified WiFi, dual Gigabit Ethernet, dual USB, audio, Bluetooth/BLE, display with touch panel and serial interfaces. It can serve as a complete development platform for both evaluation and application development purposes, and it is highly recommended for industrial grade embedded application requiring a wide temperature range (-20 to 85°C).

As AI-driven demand accelerated through 2025, memory chip shortages developed as semiconductor manufacturers shifted capacity to large-volume buyers, leaving many sectors, including medical, industrial, edge/IoT, and robotics poorly served. Climbing prices and lengthening lead times, exacerbated by knock-on effects across other SoM components, have created two clear pressure points. SoM vendors relying on outsourced manufacturing have limited flexibility when availability drops, leaving customers facing the same delays. Separately, product developers who chose chip-down architectures over SoM-based designs must procure components on their own. Those buying in smaller quantities are routinely pushed down supplier priority lists, and in many cases cannot get supply at all.
