Variscite brings Qualcomm® TM 410 System-on-Module to the Embedded Market at only 57 USD
Measuring only 25mm x 43mm with long term longevity and highly integrated connectivity options, the DART-SD410 from Variscite is poised to become the leading System-on-Module (SoM) supporting the Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 410 (APQ8016). The DART-SD410 is based on Qualcomm®SnapdragonTM 410 (APQ8016) quad 1.2GHz ARM® CortexTM-A53 alongside the AdrenoTM 2D/3D graphics accelerator. With 2GB LP-DDR3 and 16GB eMMC, the DART-SD410 delivers impressive performance for Android, Linux and Windows 10 IoT. Optimized power consumption makes this miniature sized SoM ideal for portable and battery operated applications.
The DART-SD410’s highly integrated connectivity and interfaces include 13MP and 8MP dual camera inputs, WiFi / Bluetooth, GPS, USB, A/V in/out and other commonly used serial interfaces. Furthermore, the SoM supports -25 to 85°C industrial operating temperatures, while offering a 10-year longevity commitment. Performing as the DART-SD410 carrier board, the VAR-SD410CustomBoard completes an attractive full reference kit, which can be employed for customers’ evaluation, development and end-product mass production.
DART-SD410 main features include:
- Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 410 (APQ8016) quad 1.2GHz ARM® CortexTM-A53 in 64bit/32bit architecture
- 400MHz Qualcomm® Adreno™ 306 2D/3D Graphics accelerator
- Up to 2GB LP-DDR3 and 16GB eMMC
- 13MP and 8MP dual camera MIPI CSI inputs
- Full 1080p30 video encode / decode
- WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1/BLE
- Qualcomm® IZatTMGen 8C location engine supporting GPS, Compass and Glonass/Galileo
- Display: 4 lane DSI; HDMI and LVDS via carrier
- USB2.0 OTG
- Audio In / Out
- Up to 6 x SPI, 6 x I2C, 2 x UART, GPIOs
- SD/MMC, JTAG, backlight PWM
- Miniature size: 23mm x 43mm
Variscite also offers a fully featured, touchscreen-enabled VAR-SD410CustomBoard Carrier. It serves as a complete development kit for evaluation and application development. It interfaces with a 7″ capacitive touchscreen.

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.
