Called SM2S-G3E, it is in the 82 x 50mm SMARC 2.2 (smart mobility architecture) format and adds up to 8Gbyte of LPDDR4 ram with ECC and up to 256Gbyte of eMMC flash, as well as interface options for the LVDS, MIPI-DSI and HDMI display busses.
“In addition, the module offers such high-speed interfaces as PCIe Gen.3, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Dual Gigabit Ethernet,” said Tria.
The microcontroller has four 1.8GHz Arm Cortex-A55 cores, a 200MHz Cortex-M33 real-time core, up to 0.5Top/s from Arm’s Ethos-U55 neural processor unit (NPU) for AI, a Mali-G52 GPU (graphics processing unit) and 4K-capable video processor – plus security features.
“The NPU is a new class of machine learning processor specifically designed to accelerate inference in area-constrained embedded and IoT devices,” said Tria, which added: SMARC is one of the best and most future-proof standards for small form factor embedded designs.”
So far the company is offering three variants, all with quad-core processors and the NPU. The options are
- 8Gbyte LPDDR4
32Gbyte flash
2x Gbit Ethernet
2x USB3.0 host
-40 to +85°C - 4Gbyte LPDDR4
16Gbyte flash
2x Gbit Ethernet
2x USB3.0 host
-40 to +85°C - 2GB LPDDR4
8Gbyte flash
1x Gbit Ethernet
1x USB3.0 host
-25 to +85°C
Power consumption is estimated to be between 3 and 5W, and operation is over -40 to +85°C.
