New accessories available for MPU systems

Inelco Hunter has announced availability of two new accessory modules designed for use with systems from SoMLabs, based on the i.MX8Mmini MPU. These new additions enhance the capabilities of the compact and powerful VisionSOM-8Mmini boards, supplying customers flexible and cost-effective solutions for industrial IoT and embedded applications.

The OV5640 camera module delivers a 5MP resolution and features an MIPI-CSI interface, integrated PMIC, and an OV5640 CMOS colour video sensor. It also incorporates a fish-eye lens for wide-angle imaging. Fully compatible with all the company's carrier boards equipped with an MIPI-CSI interface, this module delivers an ideal solution for embedded vision applications in industries such as robotics, factory automation, and machine vision.

The SL-ADP-PCIe-M2 SSD adapter is designed to support M.2 SSDs in 2242, 2260, and 2280 sizes, using a single-lane PCIe interface, therefore allowing users to expand the storage capabilities of their embedded systems easily. This makes it perfect for applications requiring high-speed data storage.

These accessories complement the VisionSOM-8Mmini boards, which feature an NXP ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core processor with speeds of up to 1.8GHz and an ARM Cortex-M4F core for real-time control. The system also supports up to 4GB of LPDDR4 memory, 32GB of eMMC/uSD storage, and includes a built-in VPU for HD video processing. The MIPI-DSI interface (FullHD, 4-lane), PCIe 2.0 interface, and 1Gbit Ethernet make it an excellent solution for a wide range of industrial TFT, IoT and embedded applications.
