Vecow presented their new line of System on Module devices (SoM) at Embedded World 2022. The latest SoMs integrate MediaTek’s Genio 1200, Genio 500 and Genio 350 processors. Additionally, the company has developed carrier boards for quick product development.

Vecow’s new line of SOMs offers support for the following Genio processors from MediaTek:

• [ESOM-MT-1200]-MediaTek Genio 1200 — Quad-core Cortex-A78 @2.2GHz, Quad Cortex-A55 @2.2GHz; ARM Mali-G57 GPU and 8GB LPDDR4X SDRAM
• [ESOM-MT-500]-MediaTek Genio 500 — Quad-core Cortex-A73 @2.0GHz, Quad Cortex-A53 @2.0GHz; ARM Mali-G72 GPU and 4GB LPDDR4X SDRAM; Tensilica Vision P6 Vision dual core @500MHz
• [ESOM-MT-350]-MediaTek Genio 350 — Quad-core Cortex-A53 @2.0GHz; ARM Mali-G52 GPU and 2GB LPDDR4X SDRAM; Tensilica Vision P6 Vision and HiFi4

The ESOM-MT-1200 has a 3D graphics accelerator capable of processing 17600M pixel/sec @ 880MHz. Similarly, the ESOM-MT-500 has a 3D graphics accelerator capable of processing 2400M pixel/sec @ 800MHz and 1600M pixel/sec @800MHz for the ESOM-MT-350 version.

In addition, the graphics engine for these SOMs support OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.2, and Vulkan 1.1 hardware acceleration.

For software support, all three boards support Yocto 3.1. The ESOM-MT-1200 supports Android 11 while the ESOM-MT-500 and 350 support Android 10. .

Vecow expressed that their MediaTek’s based SoMs are suitable for AIoT applications that require different levels of performance. Furthermore, each SoM has a carrier board to enable easy peripheral connectivity. Refer to the spec lists below for more info.
