Critical Link MitySOM-AM57F System on Modules

Critical Link MitySOM-AM57F System on Modules are highly configurable, very small form-factor processor cards with a Texas Instruments AM57xx series 1.5GHz Sitara Processor. The modules feature an integrated Xilinx Artix-7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), NOR FLASH, and DDR3 RAM memory subsystems. The design of the MitySOM-AM57F allows for developing programs/logic images for all of the compute elements on the AM57xx and the FGPA. The MitySOM-AM57F provides a complete and flexible digital processing infrastructure necessary for the most demanding embedded applications development.
