Overview
VIA SOM-9X35 Module
Reduce time to market for innovative new Edge AI devices with the VIA SOM-9X35 module. Featuring the low-power quad-core MediaTek Genio 350 AIoT platform, this flexible and high-performance module is ideal for mainstream AIoT applications that require vision and voice edge processing, including facial recognition, object identification, motion tracking, OCR, and bio-metric measurement.
The module’s advanced multimedia capabilities and rich I/O interfaces, including support for dual high-definition displays and cameras, make it an ideal platform for a broad array of home, commercial, industrial, medical, and educational use cases
Hardware
The VIA SOM-9X35 module is powered by a 2.0GHz MediaTek Genio 350 AIoT paltform that features an integrated AI processor for deep learning, neural network acceleration, and computer vision applications.
When combined with the VIA VAB-935 carrier board, the module provides a wealth of display and camera integration options, including HDMI, MIPI DSI, and MIPI CSI support. Flexible network connectivity is enabled by dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, a 10/100Mbps Ethernet port, and Bluetooth 5.0 as well as an integrated SIM card slot and an optional 4G LTE adaptor. Other features include two USB 2.0 ports, one COM port for RS232, one MiniPCIe slot, and 16GB eMMC flash memory.
The VIA SOM-9X35 measures 60mm x 45mm x 6.8mm (W x D x H) and comes with a two-sided heat spreader. The VIA VAB-935 carrier board is based on a 3.5” SBC form factor measuring 146mm x 102mm.
Starter Kit
To further accelerate product development time, a VIA SOM-9X35 starter kit is available. In addition to the VIA SOM-9X35 module and VIA VAB-935 carrier board, this comprises a 7” MIPI LCD panel + touch panel display, a 13MP camera module, two speakers and a microphone, and other accessories.
Software
The VIA SOM-9X35 BSP supports Yocto 3.1 and Android 10. A full set of software customization services that speed up time to market and minimize development costs is also available.
