The Arria 10 System on Module (SoM) is tailor-made for applications in embedded and automotive vision, leveraging the powerful Altera Arria 10 SoC. Sized at a compact 8 cm by 6.5 cm, it incorporates interfaces suitable for high-bandwidth data transfer. Central to its design is the integration of a Cortex A9 dual-core CPU coupled with robust memory systems. This module is crafted to simplify the system design by housing multiple components in a single, efficient package, thereby easing the implementation of complex automotive and embedded systems.
The module is designed for optimal power management, ensuring a smooth power-up and power-down sequence with just a 12V supply required from the baseboard. Its computational prowess is evident in the dual DDR4 memory interfaces it hosts, one for the CPU and one for the FPGA, enabling efficient data processing and storage. With support for up to 2.4 Gbit/s per pin and a total throughput of up to 153 Gbit/s, it stands out in performance-intensive environments.
Also featured are high-speed transceivers supporting interfaces like PCIe Gen3 x8, Ethernet, and USB, making it extremely versatile for various connectivity needs. The module is well-suited for use in complex systems requiring reliable and high-speed data transmission, tackling challenges in custom embedded applications and automotive vision solutions. Its availability with reference designs means it offers a great starting point for developers to speed up their prototyping and development cycles.
