HORW, Switzerland - Feb. 24, 2020 - PRLog -- Toradex, a leader in embedded computing, announces the launch of Verdin, its latest family of System on Modules (SoMs). Verdin provides a modern, future-proof set of interfaces focusing on ease-of-use and robustness. The Verdin line expands on the already successful Colibri and Apalis SoM families and comes with the same extensive software, documentation, ecosystem, and support. The first modules feature the new powerful and efficient NXP® i.MX 8M Mini/Nano applications processors.

Verdin utilizes a rugged, small and cost-optimized 260pin SODIMM DDR4 edge-connector. Toradex has more than 16 years of experience with implementing edge-connectors in demanding applications, that experience ensures a robust system even in the long term in extremely harsh environments.

Toradex is launching the Verdin product family of SoMs with capable yet power-efficient NXP i.MX 8M Mini and i.MX 8M Nano applications processor options. Featuring up to 4x Cortex-A53, up to 2GB of RAM and 16GB of eMMC Flash Memory. Optional and On-board dual-band 802.11ac 2x2 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5 and Industrial Grade (-40 to +85°C) are available as well.

Built-in hardware security features and interfaces such as USB, Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe, CAN-FD, MIPI CSI-2, MIPI-DSI, GPIO, I2C, SPI and others… make it an ideal platform for application in industries such as Industrial Automation, Healthcare, Transportation, Smart Cities and many more. These Verdin modules are available for at least 10 years.

Verdin modules are designed from the ground up to support modern software development principles and simplify software maintenance. It comes with the well-known production-quality Toradex software. This includes a Yocto Project-based reference image and Torizon™, the open-source, easy-to-use industrial Linux platform and extensive documentation and support offering.

At launch, Toradex will be offering two off-the-shelf carrier boards. The first being the Verdin Development Board, a larger board that exposes all the features available on Verdin. As such, the Verdin Development Board allows users to build up even complex systems in no time. The second board – called Dahlia – is a more compact 120mm x 120mm board focusing on the most popular features. Dahlia is designed to provide a simplified development experience with features such as a convenient USB-C power option and full debugging over USB. https://www.toradex.com/products/carrier-board/verdin-dev...
