SolidRun Accelerates V2X Infrastructure Development With New NXP i.MX 8XLite-Based Mini SOM

TEL AVIV, Israel, October 27, 2021 / PRNewswire / – SolidRun, a leading developer and manufacturer of high performance system-on-module (SOM) solutions, single board computer (SBC) and network edge solutions, today announces its system-on-module (SOM) line based on NXP i.MX 8X Lite application processors and designed for a variety of V2X applications. Available in single or dual core configurations, these new SOMs contain all the essential components required to rapidly develop industrial V2X, V2I and IoT applications in a 30 x 47mm format.

“In order to accelerate the adoption of autonomous vehicle technology, we need to create a digital infrastructure that supports it. The i.MX 8XLite application processor was designed specifically for this purpose, ”said Andres Lopez from Vegara Lemos, product manager, Edge Processing activity, NXP Semiconductors. “Working with SolidRun helps us kickstart and reduce development time for V2X hardware solutions by providing engineers with a turnkey development tool based on our SoC that serves a variety of applications. “

Targeting vehicle telematics, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications, road infrastructure connectivity and industrial equipment, SolidRun’s Mini SOMs based on NXP’s i.MX 8XLite form a foundation for secure V2X applications. It offers excellent synchronization and real-time control for a variety of smart city applications and combines the high-performance application processing of NXP’s i.MX 8X processor with V2X acceleration and its RoadLINK single-chip DSRC modem. SAF5400 for next-generation telematics. NXP’s i.MX 8XLite-based SOM also features a range of high-speed interfaces, including Ethernet, PCIe Gen 3, USB 2.0, and CAN-FD. As part of the NXP Product Longevity Program, NXP guarantees that the i.MX 8XLite SoC will be manufactured for 15 years. Likewise, SolidRun guarantees that this SOM will be manufactured for at least 15 years, making it the optimal solution for long-term vehicle-based communications infrastructure applications.

In addition to serving as the perfect building block for V2X infrastructure, NXP’s i.MX 8XLite-based SOM is also well suited for industrial IoT, building control and robotics applications requiring Ethernet connectivity. or CAN (Controller Area Network) with a time sensitive network (TSN). . Ideal for advanced industrial processes that require reliable and precise synchronization and real-time control, the A35 cores of the integrated SoC and the CAN-FD interface ensure low latency data transmission.

Designed to serve a variety of application environments, from commercial and industrial vehicles to roadside communication hubs and even robotics, the SOM supports a wide operating temperature range of -40 ° C to 85 ° C. Its efficient design maintains a low fanless operating temperature and reduces the potential for heat and dust related failures, resulting in long-term reliable operation and performance.

“Smart cities and V2X communications will not only dramatically improve the efficiency of our roads, but they will also play an important role in reducing collision fatalities and making it easier for emergency vehicles to navigate congested areas,” said dr. Atai Ziv, CEO of SolidRun. However, none of this can take shape without reliable hardware, like our SOM connecting infrastructure and vehicles. We look forward to working closely with NXP to ensure that our SOMs reliably power V2X communications for coming years.”

SolidRun also offers a HummingBoard carrier board which is perfect for prototyping with the i.MX 8XLite based SOM. While not much larger than the SOM at just 30 x 55mm, the HummingBoard socket supports up to 2GB of LPDDR4 memory and offers expansion and communication options including 100BASE Automotive Ethernet- T1, USB 2.0 and UART, SPI, SDIO and 12C ports and I / O pins.

HummingBoard SOMs and carrier cards are available through SolidRun. To help speed up the development process, customers will benefit from an optimized card support package, long-term stable support for certain software distributions, access to SolidRun support tools, and a sample source code.
