INVENSOM-6UL NXP iMX System on Module

Invensom-6UL System on Module (SOM) is an ultra compact embedded computer for applications that requires security, connectivity and high performance. Most demanding technologies are integrated into one package. Embedded system security becomes a critical design aspect for all IoT applications. Low level hardware and software design needs specialization which extends the project timeline and requires experienced work force. Invensom-6UL hardware comes with a proven Board Support Package (BSP) includng plug&play security, connectivity and device management drivers to complete your project on time and on budget. It brings the quality and performance of NXP i.MX ARM based microprocessors.

Key Benefits of Using SOM:

  • Accelerate innovaton and reduce time to market by using a production ready SOM and a proven BSP, get into the market in 3-6 months for mid-complexity products.
  • Focus on the product rather than low level hardware and software development.
  • Integrate end-to-end security to your product using provided board support package including cryptography, connectivity and device management librares.
  • Simplify the design by eliminating the risk and effort of designing high speed digital and RF circuits.
  • Decrease the cost by preventing recurring engineering efforts (pcb design, part selecton, hardware/software verification) and procuring a single SOM unit rather than ordering 50-100 different components.

INVENSOM-6UL PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Secure Processor NXP i.MX6UL ARM® Cortex®-A7 upto 900MHz
