Første SMARC modul baseret på Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ8 serien

SECO's nye SMARC-moduler, der er bygget op omkring Qualcomms Dragonwing-IQ8, er nu tilgængelig for udvalgte OEM'er, som dermed kan fremskynde udviklingen af ​de ​næste generations Edge AI og Physical AI applikationer (in english).

SECO has announced the availability of the first engineering samples of its SOM-SMARC-Dragonwing-IQ8, becoming the first company worldwide to make an industrial SMARC system-on-module based on Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ8 Series from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., available for OEM evaluation.

Following positive results from its initial engineering builds, SECO is now making a limited first batch of samples available to selected customers and engineering teams, enabling them to start evaluating the platform for their next generation of intelligent industrial products.

OEMs interested in evaluating Dragonwing IQ8 technology can now request an engineering sample directly through the SECO product page.

Bringing Dragonwing IQ8 Series to industrial applications 

Powered by the Dragonwing IQ-8275 processor, the SOM-SMARC-Dragonwing-IQ8 is designed to deliver peak performance of 40 TOPS of AI acceleration through the Qualcomm Hexagon NPU in a compact, industrial-grade and ultra-efficient SMARC architecture.

Designed for demanding Edge AI applications, the module combines high-performance, power-efficient AI processing with industrial connectivity, including Gigabit and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe Gen4, camera interfaces and CAN bus support. 

It provides a scalable foundation for next-generation Physical AI deployments across a wide range of industrial and mission-critical applications, including robotics, drones, intelligent machines, industrial computer vision, handheld devices, autonomous platforms, and unmanned systems.

Developed within SECO's collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies and Arduino, the module also supports a streamlined transition from prototyping with Arduino VENTUNO Q to industrial product development through the Works with Arduino ecosystem. SECO complements the hardware with carrier-board design expertise, software integration and Clea OS support for secure device management and long-term software maintenance.

- Being first to market with an industrial SMARC module based on Dragonwing IQ8 Series is an important milestone for SECO, says Lorenzo Veltroni, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at SECO, and he continues:

- Our engineering results have been very encouraging, and we are now ready to put this technology into our customers' hands. This is about moving beyond announcements and enabling OEMs to start building and validating real Edge AI and Physical AI applications on an industrial platform.

SECO is now accepting requests for a limited number of SOM-SMARC-Dragonwing-IQ8 engineering samples, prioritising OEMs and development teams working on industrial Edge AI and Physical AI applications.
