Overview

VIA SOM-6X80 Module

The VIA SOM-6X80 Module combines advanced compute and multimedia performance with rich I/O and display connectivity options in an ultra-compact low-power package that enables the rapid development and deployment of a wide array automated ticketing, signage, and kiosk system for retail, transportation, and industrial applications.

Hardware

Powered by a 1.0GHz dual-core VIA Cortex-A9 SoC, the VIA SOM-6X80 provides advanced compute and multimedia performance in an ultra-compact low-power package that measures just 6.76cm x 6.3cm. In addition to featuring 8GB eMMC Flash memory and 2GB DDR3 SDRAM onboard, the module offers a wealth of I/O and display expansion options, including three USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI port, one single-channel 18/24-bit LVDS panel, 6 UART, one camera input, 10/100Mbps Ethernet, 9 GPIO, and one SD Card slot.

Software

The VIA SOM-6X80 features a Linux BSP which includes the kernel (4.4.26) and bootloader source codes. Other features include a Tool Chain to help make adjustments to the kernel and to support the VIA SOMDB3 carrier board I/O and other hardware features.

A full set of software customization services that speed up time to market and minimize development costs are also available.

Expandability

To accelerate system development, the VIA SOM-6X80 can be paired with the VIA SOMDB3 carrier board. A custom baseboard can also be designed to meet specific application requirements.

For the fastest and most flexible path for accelerating the design and manufacturing of new IoT systems and devices, you can also take advantage of the VIA Custom IoT Platform Design Service. This delivers a one-stop custom system design solution that covers all steps of the development process, including the definition of the core system specifications, rapid prototyping, hardware and software development, I/O and wireless connectivity integration, and management of the path2production.
