Hardware

VIA SOM-5000 Module

VIA SOMDB7 Carrier Board
The VIA SOM-5000 module is powered by a MediaTek Genio 700 Octa-Core Processor combining two Cortex-A78 cores operating at 2.2GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores running at 2.0GHz with an integrated AI processor providing up to 4.0 TOPS for deep learning, neural network acceleration, computer vision applications and HiFi5 audio processing.
When combined with the VIA SOMDB7 carrier board, the VIA SOM-5000 module provides a wealth of camera and display integration options, including support for two MIPI CSI-2 cameras, a MIPI DSI display, plus, two HDMI and LVDS displays each. High-speed connectivity can be enabled through two Gigabit Ethernet ports, an integrated SIM card slot, and M.2 slots for optional dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and 4G LTE. Two USB 3.1 ports, an ADC/GPIO pin header, and a MicroSD card slot allow additional I/O configuration.
The VIA SOM-5000 module measures 82mm x 50mm (3.22″ x 2″). The VIA SOMDB7 carrier board is based on an SBC form factor measuring 151mm x 134mm (5.94″ x 5.28″). For the full hardware specifications of the VIA SOM-5000 module and VIA SOMDB7 carrier board, download the following datasheet.
