RZ/G1E: iWave presents SODIMM SOM for Renesas' RZ/G1E MPU

BANGALORE, India - Aug. 1, 2016 - PRLog -- iWave Systems, a leading embedded product & solution provider company, launched yet another System On Module using Renesas Electronics' latest RZ/G1E MPU.  The new SOM is an addition to the company's growing RZ/G-based SOM roadmap following to its earlier RZ/G1M and RZ/G1N based multi core ARM^® Cortex^®A15 based SOM modules.

The RZ/G1E System On Module (SOM) is based on the RZ/G1E with dual ARM Cortex A7 CPU cores running up to 1GHz speed. The RZ/G1E module features 1080p HD Video Encoding/Decoding, 3-D graphics, Gigabit Ethernet and two-channel video input etc.

RZ/G1E System On Module

With compact 67.6mm x 37mm SODIMM form factor, the RZ/G1E System On Module supports 512MB DDR3 RAM which can be expandable up to 2GB and supports on-SOM 4GB eMMC flash which is also expandable. The module is supported with -40°C to +85°C industrial operating temperature and enabled with Linux 3.10.31 BSP support.

For quick prototyping and time to market, iWave supports RZ/G1E development kit (http://www.iwavesystems.com/rz-g1e-sodimm-development-kit...) which includes RZ/G1E SOM (http://www.iwavesystems.com/rz-g1e-sodimm-module.html)with Pico ITX form factor carrier board. The carrier board supports various on-board peripheral connectors to validate all the RZ/G1E MPU features. This SOM + carrier board configuration will also be supported in mass production.

"The RZ/G1E SOM module is cost optimized, and compact yet powerful solution. Renesas' RZ/G1E MPU is ideal low power solution for variety of industrial applications such as HMI, Access Control, Industrial control, Networking & High vision Camera, Home & Office automation, IOT gateway and Point of sale," says Abdullah Khan, President, iWave.

"Renesas is pleased to jointly develop with iWave, a widely known globally-proven module vendor with rich and extensive product portfolio. We are confident that with the new module developed based on the latest Renesas'low power RZ/G1 MPU, we can provide optimum module solutions to customers who develop Linux applications" said Ichiro Tomioka, Vice President, ICT & Office Business Division, Renesas Electronics Corporation.
