Monday, 10 Nov 2014

Variscite introduces a Freescale i.MX6 1GHz Cortex-A9 System-on-Module at only 42USD

The VAR-SOM-SOLO small form factor System-on-Module carries an advanced feature-set and broad connectivity options, making it an ideal solution for customers and products in the embedded market.

Staying on-trend with the market’s shift towards a cost-effective highly integrated off-the-shelf solution, the VAR-SOM-SOLO from Variscite levels the playing ground for a broad spectrum of embedded products.

VAR-SOM-SOLO / DUAL SOMBringing all the benefits of the widely successful VAR-SOM-MX6, the VAR-SOM-SOLO from Variscite carries much smaller dimensions and a slim lined price-point. Features include Freescale’s i.MX6 1GHz Cortex-A9, SLC NAND, eMMC, dual band WiFi/Bluetooth with MIMO, USB, Gigabit Ethernet, A/V interfaces and industrial operating temperatures. The VAR-SOM-SOLO utilizes a standard SO-DIMM 200pins interface to the carrier board, fully pin-to-pin compatible with the VAR-SOM-MX6.

VAR-SOM-SOLO main features include:

  • Freescale i.MX6 1000MHz single Cortex-A9
  • Up to 1GB DDR3, 512MB SLC NAND and 64GB eMMC
  • Certified WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz with optional 2×2 MIMO
  • Bluetooth 4.0/BLE
  • Full 1080p video encode/decode capability
  • Vivante GPU 2D/3D graphics accelerator
  • Display: 2x LVDS, HDMI1.4, MIPI DSI
  • 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
  • USB 2.0: Host, OTG
  • PCIe
  • Audio In/Out
  • Camera inputs: MIPI CSI, parallel
  • Dual CAN, UART, I2C, SPI

Variscite and CELUS Bring AI-Assisted Design to Engineers
Variscite is bringing its System on Module (SoM) portfolio into the CELUS Design Platform, giving engineers a faster way to move from initial concept to a production-ready design, with much of the manual component-selection work automated away. The integration pairs Variscite’s hardware with CELUS’ AI Design Assistant, aimed at cutting time out of the early, slow-moving stages of hardware design.
