ORCA SOM


Overview

ORCA SOM

ORCA SOM is part of DAVE Embedded Systems' portfolio of system on modules, based on NXP's i.MX8M Plus System On Chip. These SoCs are designed with ARM Cortex-A53 plus Cortex-M7 plus a Neural Processing Unit.

The ORCA SoM is designed around a SODIMM 260 pin DDR4 form factor and is the first solution that will support a new generation of these SoCs, enabling long term availability within industrial qualification. The ORCA SOM System On Module has a very compact size of about 67.5 x 45mm.

This SOM supports all the functionalities available from the System On Chip. Starting from the ARM Cortex-A53 architecture with up to 4 cores available and the independent ARM cortex-A53, the GPU and the Neural Processing unit, the ORCA System On Module integrates on board a single chip RAM DDR4 and multiple choices for storage.

ORCA System On Module can host either an eMMC flash or a NAND Single Level Chip depending on what customers prefer. These options are also available in a mounted option connected on the carrier board because both buses are available at pinout level.

Another important feature of this System On Module is the option to have either dual Video Inputs for stereo cameras or dual Ethernet interfaces with Time Sensitive Networking support. The NXP Edge Lock SE0S0 Secure Element is available on board.

ORCA SOM System On Module is designed for industrial applications providing access to all NXP i.MX8M Plus features, and supports the industrial temperature range from -40 to +85° C.

The ORCA SOM System On Module is provided within a Software Development Kit which enable customers to get complete control of the board. The Software Development Kit is called DESK DAVE Embedded Software Kit and it is based on the NXP official Software Development Kts. Regarding the Neural Processing Unit, DAVE EMbedded Systems is able to provide services including the design, development, training of a complete Machine Learning application.
