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.
Pierluigi Passaro, Variscite’s R&D expert, walks through the DART-MX91 and DART-MX93 – entry-level modules in NXP’s i.MX 9 family. These Systems on Module provide product teams a scalable, cost-optimized starting point for connected embedded designs.
