MSC SM2S-AM62X
The new MSC SM2S-AM62X SMARC 2.1.1 module family is highly scalable and equipped with Sitara AM62x ARM Cortex-A53 processors, manufactured by Texas Instruments using 16nm process technology. The module integrates single, dual and quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processors with up to 1.4 GHz, an ARM Cortex-M4 real-time processor and an efficient multimedia 2D/3D graphics processing unit (GPU). The typical design power ranges from 2 W to 5 W.
The MSC SM2S-AM62X offers cost-effective DDR4 memory technology, combined with up to 256GB eMMC Flash memory. Various interfaces for embedded applications such as Dual Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, Dual CAN-FD, dual-channel LVDS and MIPI CSI-2 for connecting a camera are available. An on-board Wireless Module and NAND Flash memory are provided as assembly options.
The module is compliant with the new SMARC 2.1.1 standard, allowing easy integration with SMARC baseboards. For evaluation and design-in of the MSC SM2S-AM62X module, Avnet Embedded provides a development platform and a starter kit. Support for Linux is available (Android support on request).
