Overview
VIA SOM-6X50 Module
The VIA SOM-6X50 module delivers the perfect balance of performance and rich multimedia features in an ultra-compact, highly-flexible package for a wide range of IoT automation and HMI applications such as transportation, retail, and medical.
Hardware
The ultra-compact VIA SOM-6X50 module measures a mere 6.76cm x 4.3cm, and features 8GB eMMC Flash memory and 512MB DDR3 SDRAM onboard. The module offers rich I/O and display expansion options including three USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI port or one single-channel 18/24-bit LVDS panel, 6 UART, one CSI camera input, 10/100Mbps Ethernet, 9 GPIO, and one SD Card slot.
Software
The VIA SOM-6X50 features a Linux BSP which includes the kernel (3.4.5) and bootloader source codes. Other features include a Tool Chain to help make adjustments to the kernel and to support the VIA SOMDB1 carrier board I/O and other hardware features.
A full set of software customization services that speed up time to market and minimize development costs are also available.
Expandability
Customers can take advantage of our multi-I/O evaluation carrier board or can utilize VIA’s extensive technical support in developing a custom baseboard.
