Critical Link MitySOM-A10S Development Kit

Intel Arria 10 SoC development kit for Industrial Applications

The MitySOM-A10S is a production-ready Intel Arria®-10 SoC FPGA-based System-on-Module (SoM) that delivers industrial board-level performance at a cost-effective price. This SoM can be configured to fit a wide range of system requirements; options include various FPGA logic sizes (160KLE to 480KLE), FPGA speed grades, memory configurations, and commercial and industrial temperature ranges.  The FPGA’s integrated ARM processor supports several high-level operating systems, including embedded Linux out of the box.

The MitySOM-A10S development kit’s SoM includes a 270KLE FPGA fabric, dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with dual NEON SIMD coprocessors, 12 high-speed transceiver pairs up to 12.5Gbps, on-board power supplies, two DDR4 memory subsystems up to a combined 6GB, micro SD card slot, USB 2.0 OTG port, and a temperature sensor. The Intel Arria 10 SoC development kit’s baseboard provides SoM mating connectors, power supplies, USB, Ethernet, power and FMC connectors.  Free lifetime access to Critical Link’s technical support site as well as access to application engineering resources and other services are available to reduce development cycles and accelerate product time-to-market.
