DIGI SOMs integrate pre-certified dual-band Wi-Fi 5/BL5 and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity

Jan 30, 2023 — by Giorgio Mendoza 406 views

The Digi ConnectCore MP1 is an industrial embedded System-on-Module  platform which integrates the STM32MP157C microprocessor and a 3D GPU (Vivante – OpenGL ES) 2.0. This SoM offers up to 176x GPIOs ports and security features such as TrustZone, tamper pins, cryptographic processors, etc. 

The datasheet specifies the Vivante 3D GPU has a performance up to 26 Mtriangle/s, 133 Mpixel/s. See the block diagram below for complete details.
