New embedded SOM based on a fast and powerful processor

Inelco Hunter has announced the availability of the new SoMLabs VisionSOM-RT1170 (SLS14) SOM, based on the extremely fast and powerful i.MX-RT117x processor. Including dual ARM cores (Cortex-M7 + Cortex-M4), the processor delivers a fast Core Clock Speed of up to 1GHz for the M7 core and 400MHz for the M4 core.

The new SOM features a 2MB on-chip RAM memory, up to 1Gb (128MB) of SDRAM memory, and up to 512Mb (64MB) of QuadSPI/Octal Flash memory. It is also low-power and cost-optimised, making it excellent for demanding applications such as automation and industrial IoT.

The display interface is a 24-bit Parallel RGB interface and MIPI-DSI. There are two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (supporting TNS and AVB). Peripheral support includes GPIO, UART, I2C, USB, CAN, and I2S/SAI. The SOM provides a compact form factor of SODIMM200 and has an industrial-gradee temperature range of -40C to +85C. The O/S is FreeRTOS.
