nanoRISC® is a module concept combining the latest low power RISC controllers and embedded interfaces on a small form factor COM (Computer On Module). Ideally suited for embedded applications, a variety of easy-to-use interfaces are available.
The nanoRISC® form factor has been created for applications requiring a small form factor and lowest power consumption. nanoRISC® modules will be plugged onto an application-specific baseboard.
The design of the TRIA nanoRISC® IMX6 module is based on the NXP® Cortex™ A9 CPU offering high performance, lowest power consumption and a high degree of functional integration for high level embedded applications. The i.MX6x processor is combined with DDR3 SDRAM, SLC NAND Flash, 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet LAN and a power management controller (PMIC).
The module is available in commercial and industrial temperature range. Support for Linux is available. Android and Windows Embedded Compact 7 are available on request.
