Introduction

The new System on Module (SOM) from Kontron Electronics is already placed on a handy baseboard. It offers concentrated computing power for visualization, Internet communication and demanding control tasks in machine and device construction.

Three processor cores in one housing provide the right solution for every task. Based on the Linux operating system, the Cortex®-A7 Dual-Core part handles all complex visualization tasks, including the display of web content. Display interfaces such as RGB and DSI are already available. With the Cortex®-M4 processor, the STM32MP157 features proven microcontroller technology with a variety of peripheral interfaces. Some digital I/O channels are on board as well as two analogue in channels. Remote I/O modules can be connected via a CAN interface. This board thus offers an excellent solution for implementing very compact, cost-effective high-performance touch HMIs or machine controls. Support of the common radio technologies required for the IoT is a matter of course.

Whether you want to develop your own baseboard or we can do it for you: In any case, the baseboard STM32MP157 is an excellent basis for a fast project start and for your project success.
