Critical Link to Showcase MitySOM-A10S and MitySOM-5CSx Embedded SOMs & Development Kits at Embedded World
Company’s top-rated industrial-performance System on Module families will be displayed at Embedded World Exhibition, Nuremberg, Germany, in Hall 4 / 4-180 and Hall 3A / 3A-528, Feb. 26 - 28, 2019.
Syracuse, N. Y. – Critical Link, a leading provider of electronics and engineering services for industrial embedded applications, will showcase its latest board-level solutions at Embedded World, the premier global event for embedded electronics developers.
Critical Link’s MitySOM-A10S is the newest addition to the company’s line of industrial-performance embedded modules. The system on module (SOM) family is designed with the Intel/Altera Arria 10 SoC which features dual core Cortex-A9 ARMs and up to 480KLE user-programmable FPGA fabric. In addition to the processor, the innovative 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. Multiple configurations are available to meet requirements for a wide range of applications in industrial, medical, broadcast, utilities, defense, and other markets. The MitySOM-A10S Development Kit is now available from Critical Link and its distributors to offer developers a jumpstart on their projects. The MitySOM-A10S will be presented in Critical Link’s Hall 4 / 4-180 booth at Embedded World.
The MitySOM-5CSx family, based on the Intel/Altera Cyclone V SoC processor, will also be on display in Critical Link’s Hall 4 / 4-180 booth. It will be demonstrated live as part of the company’s award-winning embedded vision development kit featuring BCON dart camera modules from Basler.
