JUMPtec udvider med boards baseret på TI-processorer
JUMPtec, der er Kontrons nyetablerede forretningsenhed med fokus på computermodul-teknologi, præsenterer SMARC modul baseret på TI’s AM67A skalerbare edge AI processor (in english).
JUMPtec, a leading innovator in Computer-on-Modules technology and subsidiary of Kontron, announces a new SMARC module based on TI’s AM67A scalable edge AI processor, which integrates up to four Arm Cortex-A53 CPU cores at 1.4-GHz, a 4 TOPS neural processing unit (NPU) and an extensive suite of on-device accelerators. This design enables high-performance computing capabilities while simultaneously achieving lower power consumption compared to alternative cores.
The new SMARC module based on the AM67A processor from Texas Instruments (TI) provides high-performance edge computing technology for both traditional and deep learning algorithms. With an industry-leading power-to-performance ratio, and a high level of system integration, this design enables scalability and lower costs for advanced vision camera applications.
Key cores include Arm and GPU processors for general purpose computing, next-generation DSP with scalar and vector cores, dedicated deep learning and traditional algorithm accelerators, an integrated next-generation imaging subsystem (ISP), video codec, and MCU cores, all protected by industrial-grade security hardware accelerators.
The SMARC module enables high-resolution 3D rendering with low latency and high data rate, supporting up to 8GB LPDDR4 memory, up to 32GB eMMC flash storage, and multiple high-speed interfaces, including USB 3.0, PCIe Gen 3, and two Gigabit Ethernet channels, optimised for Linux-based systems.
It supports applications such as robotic teach pendants, factory automation, medical, and test and measurement. The AM67A is a device that targets both the analytics and non-analytics markets, with end devices ranging from HMI and single board computers, up to multicamera vision systems with integrated edge AI.
- We recognize that AI and computer vision is one of the fastest growing markets for embedded and edge computing technologies. By offering a highly integrated processor platform, TI enables such applications and we are confident that the new market for AI edge server applications will benefit greatly from our Computer-on-Module approach to design these technologies for high data throughput, says Peter Müller, General Manager at JUMPtec GmbH.
Besides AI capabilities, this solution also provides feature rich security support like:
- Secure boot
- Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)
- Cryptographic cores
All driver support is fully upstream in the Linux kernel, enabling all users to profit from any driver updates as quickly as possible.
