IMDT expands Edge AI offerings with new SOM and SBC
IMDT announces the launch of its latest System-on-Module (SOM) and Single-Board Computer (SBC) products: IMDT V2N SOM and IMDT V2N SBC. These platforms, built on the newly introduced Renesas RZ/V2N processor, offer a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution for developers seeking to accelerate AI-driven vision applications at the Edge.
Following the successful release of the IMDT V2H-based solutions, the new V2N SOM and V2N SBC are designed to make AI-powered embedded systems more accessible to a broader range of applications, including robotics, smart cities, industrial automation, IoT, and smart retail. The Renesas RZ/V2N processor brings efficient AI capabilities, a quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPU, and an integrated AI accelerator, while focusing on optimised power consumption and affordability. Compared to its counterpart, the IMDT Renesas V2N-based family of products features up to 15 TOPs (Sparse) AI performance and supports up to two four-lane MIPI CSI-2 camera connections, making it an ideal choice for cost-sensitive Edge AI applications.
"As an official Renesas ecosystem partner, IMDT is committed to delivering scalable, production-ready AI hardware solutions that leverage the power of Renesas processors," said Avi Shimon, CEO of IMDT. "With the launch of our V2N-based SOM and SBC, we are reinforcing our role as a trusted provider of Edge AI computing platforms, enabling developers to deploy AI applications faster and more efficiently."
The IMDT V2N SOM provides a modular and flexible AI computing solution, featuring:
- Renesas RZ/V2N processor with quad Arm Cortex-A55 (1.8GHz) CPU cores
- Integrated AI accelerator (Renesas DRP-AI3) for vision-AI workloads
- Compact form factor (58 x 36 x 6mm)
- Two x four-lane MIPI CSI-2 camera connectivity
- 4K encoder/decoder
- Customisable memory (DDR, eMMC)
- Customisable carrier board and the associated SW services
The IMDT V2N SBC transforms the V2N SOM into a highly integrated, compact mini-computer, ideal for rapid AI application development.
Key features include:
- Multi-camera solution by up to two x four-lane MIPI CSI
- Internal and external ISPs
- Full connectivity options: M.2 NGFF Key-E for Wi-Fi/AI accelerators, M.2 NGFF Key-B for cellular modules
- Two x RJ-45 (Gigabit Ethernet) with optional PoE
- Small form factor (125 x 80 x 20mm)
- CAN-FD transceiver on board
- Six-DOF IMU, Three-Axis Magnetometer for motion sensing
- Comprehensive evaluation kit for quick prototyping
The V2N product family and its evaluation kits are currently open for pre-order.
