Pierluigi Passaro, Variscite’s R&D expert, introduces the VAR-SOM-AM62P SoM – a CRA-ready, cost-optimized module, delivering robust performance for advanced multimedia applications. As a member of Variscite’s VAR-SOM Pin2Pin family, it enables developers to scale performance and features while maintaining the same carrier board design.

Pierluigi Passaro: Here we have the Variscite VAR-SOM-AM62P.

This SoM features an Imagination GPU for graphics acceleration, as well as H.264 and H.265 video encoding. It provides four quad-core Cortex-A53 and real-time support with Cortex M4.

The SoM can drive up to three displays. It also supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy and is available with an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

On the software side, this SoM supports Linux, Android, and FreeRTOS.

As part of the VAR-SOM Pin2Pin family, the VAR-SOM-AM62P allows developers to scale performance and features across compatible SoMs.

Graphics, Video, and Real-Time Processing

The VAR-SOM-AM62P’s main features are:

  • USB2.0: 2x OTG, 4x CAN/CAN-FD (Flexible Data-Rate)
  • UART, SPI, I2C, SD/MMC, RTC, JTAG, QSPI, GPMC
  • Wi-Fi 6 dual-band 802.11 ax/ac/a/b/g/n with optional 802.15.4, and Bluetooth/BLE 5.4
