Dream Chip Technologies' Arria 10 System on Module (SoM) emphasizes embedded and automotive vision applications. Utilizing Altera's Arria 10 SoC Devices, the SoM is compact yet packed with powerful capabilities. It features a dual-core Cortex A9 CPU and supports up to 480 KLEs of FPGA logic elements, providing ample space for customization and processing tasks. The module integrates robust power management features to ensure efficient energy usage, with interfaces for DDR4 memory, PCIe Gen3, Ethernet, and 12G SDI among others, housed in a form factor measuring just 8 cm by 6.5 cm.
Engineered to support high-speed data processing, the Arria 10 SoM includes dual DDR4 memory interfaces and 12 transceivers at 12 Gbit/s and above. It provides comprehensive connectivity options, including two USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and multiple GPIOs with level-shifting capabilities. This level of integration makes it optimal for developing solutions for automotive systems, particularly in scenarios requiring high-speed data and image processing.
Additionally, the SoM comes with a suite of reference designs, such as the Intel Arria 10 Golden System Reference Design, to expedite development cycles. This includes pre-configured HPS and memory controller IP, as well as customized U-Boot and Angström Linux distributions, further enriching its utility in automotive and embedded domains.
