JUMPtec Unveils SMARC-sAM67: Industrial SMARC SoM with TI AM67x for AI, Vision, and Embedded Applications

JUMPtec, a fully owned subsidiary of Kontron, has recently introduced the SMARC-sAM67 module, an industrial SMARC SoM based on the AM67x processor from Texas Instruments, designed for industrial, robotic, and medical applications, targeting both the analytics and non-analytics markets, with end devices ranging from HMI and single board computers up to multi-camera vision systems with integrated AI.

The SMARC-sAM67 module enables high-resolution 3D rendering with low latency and features up to 8GB LPDDR4 memory access, up to 64GB eMMC 5.1 flash storage, dual Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe Gen3 x1 expansion, USB 3.2 and USB 2.0, and display interfaces including dual-channel 24-bit LVDS and DSI (or optional DisplayPort). It also features four UARTs, CAN bus, SPI, I2S, I2C, MIPI CSI cameras, and various industrial features such as extended temperature support (-40°C to 85°C), failsafe update support, and an ultra-low power RTC.

In terms of software support, the SMARC-sAM67 SoM supports Yocto and buildroot to create custom operating systems, and uses industry-standard bootloaders like U-Boot, Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A), and OP-TEE for secure and reliable startup. Additionally, it has features like deep learning and traditional algorithm acceleration for high-performance computing technology, an integrated next-generation imaging subsystem (ISP), video codec, and built-in security with secure boot, Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), and cryptographic MCU cores. It also supports the mainline Linux kernel, making updates easier and useful for speeding up development.

The company has not provided any pricing information for the SMARC-sAM67 SoM. More information can be found on their product page, announcement section, and SMARC Tech Specs sheet.
