Model: DEBIX SOM A
PLEASE NOTE: You can visit DEBIX Brand Website for more information and technical support.
Overview:
DEBIX SOM A is the first System on Module product of the DEBIX series. As with the DEBIX Model A SBC, it is based on NXP i.MX 8M Plus CPU with a 2.3 TOPS NPU, which brings us the same powerful system performance. This core board design has some notable benefits, such as design reutilization, reduction of development time of the carrier boards, and flexible integration into various embedded systems.
Main Features:
· Powerful industrial grade core board built to meet the needs of industry 4.0, IoTs, smart cities and multimedia
· Complete software development including Android 11/ Yocto-L5.10.72_2.2.0/ Ubuntu 20.04/ Windows 10 IoT Enterprise operating system and basic software for fast and direct applications
· Real-time control with Cortex-M7. Robust control networks supported by CAN FD and dual Gigabit Ethernets, one of which supports Time Sensitive Networking (TSN)
· Dual Image Signal Processors (ISP) and dual camera inputs for an efficient advanced vision system
· Advanced multimedia capabilities include 1080p60 video encode and decode (including H.265, H.264), 3D/2D graphic acceleration, and multiple audio and voice functionalities
