Overview
The MitySOM-A10S is an Altera Arria 10 SoC SOM (system on module) for a wide range of industrial embedded applications. In addition to the A10 processor, the module includes on-board power supplies, two DDR4 RAM memory subsystems, micro SD card, a USB 2.0 on the go (OTG) port, and a temperature sensor. The MitySOM-A10S SOM provides a complete and flexible CPU infrastructure for highly integrated embedded systems.
The MitySOM-A10S is available with a 270KLE Arria 10 SX which provides dual-core Cortex-A9 32-bit RISC processors with dual NEON SIMD coprocessors. Options for 160KLE and 480KLE devices are also available. This MPU can run a rich set of real-time operating systems containing software APIs expected by modern system designers. The ARM architecture supports several operating systems, including Linux.
