Direct Insights TXMP2-1 system-on-module

“The Triton-TXMP2 offers exceptional graphics, video and NPU performance in a full -40 to +85°C temperature-range SoM, and is aimed at industrial human-machine interface solutions plus streaming video capture and display devices,” said Direct Insight CEO David Pashley.

On the module are 1Gbyte LPDDR4, 4Gbyte eMMC flash and a 24bit RGB display output connected to the 3D GPU.

“Video support is a particular strength of this processor, with 1080P60 video decode and encode, and dual MIPI-DSI camera inputs,” according to Direct.

Interfaces include dual Ethernet, 3x FlexCAN, SD/eMMC, dual USB 2.0, PCIe, USB 3.0, up to 9x UARTs, 8x I2C ports and 8x SPI.

The NPU is a 1.3Top/s Vivante from VeriSilicon (the company which also supplied the GPU intellectual property to ST), and the ST chip also has a 400MHz Cortex-M33 processor and a 200MHz (16MHz in autonomous mode) Cortex-M0+.

Power is needed at a 3.3 to 5.5V, and there is a 300mA 3.3V output for use on the board hosting the module – Direct Insight makes a suitable host board.

The board support package is Yocto-packaged Linux.

“Each member of the TRITON-TX module family is guaranteed to be available, in small or large quantities, for a minimum of 10 years after launch,” said the company. “Direct Insight brought the first system-on-module to market in 1999, and has a track-record in maintaining partnership with our customers for the long-term, supporting you throughout the product life-cycle.”

The module is manufactured by Ka-Ro Electronics.

Founded in 1992, Direct Insight is based in Oxfordshire UK.
