MitySOM-AM62P System on Module
Production-ready system on modules based on Texas Instruments Sitara AM62Px processor

Overview

The MitySOM-AM62P family of system-on-modules features the Texas Instruments Sitara AM62Px Processor. The module includes (optional) eMMC FLASH, (optional) Octal or Quad SPI NOR FLASH, and LPDDR4 RAM memory subsystems. A MitySOM-AM62P provides a complete and flexible CPU infrastructure for highly integrated embedded systems.

The onboard AM62Px processor provides up to a Quad Core Cortex-A53 microprocessor unit (MPU) at up to 1.4GHz. This MPU can run a rich set of real-time operating systems containing software applications programming interfaces (APIs) expected by modern system designers. The ARM architecture supports several operating systems, including Linux.

In addition to the Cortex-A53, the AM62Px family also offers a Single Core Arm Cortex-R5F MCU at up to 800 MHz with 256KB SRAM, and a 3D graphics processing unit (GPU) supporting OpenGL ES 3.2 at 50 GFLOPS. The AM62Px also supports H264/H265 encode & decode, and can support three simultaneous displays.

Our popular defect detection demonstration uses artificial intelligence at the edge with our Texas Instruments AM62Ax-based SOM. The demo utilizes the yolox-nano-lite-defect-detection model running on the AM62A C7x-MMA accelerator, delivering 65x faster performance vs running on the ARM A53 quad cores. A live video is displayed on the screen with visual indicators and statistics showing total parts, defect rate, and other analytics. Utilizing Edge AI Studio simplifies model training and deployment for new types of parts and materials.
