The new MSC SM2S-V2L SMARC 2.1.1 module family is equipped with cost-effective and power-efficient RZ/V2L Arm Cortex-A55 processor, manufactured by Renesas. The module integrates a single- or dual-core Arm Cortex-A55 processor running at 1.2 GHz, an Arm Cortex-M33 real-time processor and an efficient multimedia 2D/3D graphics and video processing unit (GPU and VPU). An additional DRP-AI (Dedicated AI-Accelerator) is provided by RZ/V2L processors. The typical design power ranges from 4 to 6 W.
The MSC SM2S-V2L 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 is 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-V2L module, Avnet Embedded provides a development platform and a starter kit. Support for Linux is available (Android support on request).
