The Arria 10 System on Module (SoM) is designed with an emphasis on embedded and automotive vision applications. This compact module leverages Altera's Arria 10 SoC devices in a sleek 29x29 mm package, offering a plethora of interfaces while maintaining a small, efficient form factor. It features an Altera Arria 10 SoC FPGA with a range from 160 to 480 KLEs, coupled with a Cortex A9 Dual-Core CPU. This enables robust integration and performance for demanding applications.
The module's power management system ensures a seamless power-up and -down sequence, requiring only a 12V supply from the baseboard. Its dual DDR4 memory interfaces provide up to 2.4 Gbit/s per pin, offering a total bandwidth of up to 230 Gbit/s for both CPU and FPGA memory systems. This module supports a wide array of high-speed interfaces, including PCIe Gen3 x8, 10/40 Gbit/s Ethernet, DisplayPort, and 12G SDI, making it suitable for complex imaging and communication tasks.
Additional features include up to 32 LVDS lanes for configurable RX or TX, two USB interfaces with OTG support, and ARM I²C, SPI, and GPIO interface signals. Furthermore, the Arria 10 SoM includes pre-configured IP for memory controllers and an Angstrom Linux distribution, facilitating rapid development and deployment of applications.
