How Would You RoadTest This System on Module (SOM) for Embedded Linux Applications?

rscasny

I was handed some information on Microchip's new SOM  (PN: ATSAMA5D27-SOM1) for embedded Linux applications. The SOM can be used in Microchip's ATSAMA5D27-SOM1-EK1 dev board or place the module onto your application board.image

 

Featuring an ARM-based MPU, the module is a small-single sided PCB, 40mm x 38mm, industrial temperature grade (-40/+85C) and requires a single 3.3V power supply for operation.

 

Microchip calls is a "ready to go" Linux solution. It's is supplied with in-house Linux support.

 

Here are the key features:

 

System-In-Package (SAMA5D27C-D1G-CU) including:

  • Arm Cortex-A5 processor-based SAMA5D2 MPU
  • 1Gbit DDR2 SDRAM

On-Board Power Management Unit (MIC2800-G1JJYML)image

1Kb Serial EEPROM with EUI-48Tm Node Identity (24AA02E48T-I/OT)

64Mb Serial Quad I/O Flash Memory (SST26VF064BT-104I/MF)

10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet PHY (KSZ8081RNAIA)

40 x 38 mm Module, Pitch 0.8mm, solderable by hand

103 I/Os

Up to 7 Tampers

One USB Device, one USB Host and one HSIC Interface

Shutdown and Reset Control Pins

Independent Power Supplies Available for Camera Sensor, for SD Card and for Backup depending on

Voltage Domains

Operational Specifications:

  • Main operating voltage: 3.3V ± 5%
  • Temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
  • Integrated crystals, internal voltage regulators
  • Multiple interfaces and I/Os for easy application development

 

So, what are your thoughts about roadtesting this baby? Feel free to offer your comments below.

  • This is an Exciting Module, reminds me of C.H.I.P image.

     

    I would love to see where all can the SoM be integrated. It is small enough to integrate into some really interesting Applications, like

    Quadcopter (With some AI capabilities) , House hold appliances, IoT Applications, Smart vehicles, etc. The list goes on and on.

     

    I would be hoping E14 gives couple of the SOM (ATSAMA5D27-SOM1) module for user application and/or the ATSAMA5D27-SOM1-EK1 kit for testing image . This way there may be some interesting designs also image
