e-con Systems Technology Partner

Following the great demand for a high-resolution camera for i.MX8 processors, e-con Systems has launched a 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 13MP Autofocus camera integrated with Variscite’s i.MX8 System-on-Module (SoM) platforms. The initial release is compatible with Variscite’s DART-MX8M SoM based on NXP’s iMX8M processor. However, the companies have already announced their intentions to expand the compatibility options to support additional Variscite SoM solutions based on the i.MX8M Mini, i.MX8X and i.MX8 QuadMax processors.
e-con Systems Inc., a leading embedded camera solution company and Variscite, a leading System on Module designer, developer and manufacturer, jointly announced today the launch of the VCAM-1335E, 13MP Autofocus camera based on 1/3.2-inch AR1335 CMOS image sensor from ON Semiconductor®. i.MX8 Series processors along with the high-resolution autofocus camera is a perfect combination for high-end industrial systems, vision System, HMI, video conference, and etc.,
The VCAM-1335E will provide an ideal solution for Variscite’s i.MX8 based System on Modules. Although the first release of the camera was designed to fit Variscite’s i.MX8M based solution, the DART-MX8M Evaluation Kits, the camera extension board’s physical connection are the same in all Variscite’s i.MX8-based development kits. Therefore, the companies are already working on additional drivers releases to finalize the camera’s support for additional products. Starting with the DART-MX8M-MINI based on NXP i.MX 8M-MINI, following the VAR-SOM-MX8X based on NXP i.MX 8X, the VAR-SOM-MX8 and the SPEAR-MX8 platforms based on NXP i.MX 8QuadMax. The DART and VAR-SOM modules above are a part of Variscite’s Pin2Pin families which allow the end customers to leverage a single carrier board for different platforms for full scalability and flexibility.
