Overview
The MitySOM-5CSx is a family of highly-configurable, small form-factor System on Module (SOM) designed for high-throughput applications requiring single or dual hard-core Cortex-A9 applications processors tightly integrated with FPGA fabric. The MitySOM-5CSx combines the Altera Cyclone V System on Chip (SoC), memory subsystems and onboard power supplies. The MitySOM-5CSx provides a complete and flexible CPU and FPGA infrastructure for highly-integrated embedded systems.
This SOM features a Hard Processor System (HPS) providing up to 4,000 MIPS at speeds of up to 925 MHz per core and is combined with a NEON coprocessor with double-precision FPU (one per core). The MitySOM-5CSx combines a Cyclone V with up to 2GB of DDR3 CPU/FPGA RAM with ECC, 512MB of dedicated DDR3 FPGA RAM (optional) and up to 48MB of QSPI NOR Flash creating a high-bandwidth system for embedded applications. The ARM architecture supports several high level operating systems, including Embedded Linux, Micrium uC/OS, Android, QNX, and Windows Embedded Compact.
By combining six 3.125Gbps transceivers, one PCIe hard core, up to 133 user I/O, and dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the system can simultaneously acquire and efficiently process large amounts of data.
The MitySOM-5CSx has been designed to support several upgrade options. These include various speed grades, memory configurations, and operating temperature specifications (including commercial and industrial temperature ranges).
