MSC SM2S-QCS6490
The MSC SM2S-QCS6490 SMARC 2.1.1 module family is powered by the Qualcomm® QCS6490 processor, a 6nm processor with high performance and best in class power to performance ratio. QCS6490 integrates Qualcomm® Kryo™ 670 CPU which contains up to eight cores: four Arm® Cortex®-A78 cores, four Arm® Cortex®-A55 cores, Qualcomm® Adreno™ 643 GPU, Qualcomm® Adreno™ 633 VPU and the latest re-engineered Qualcomm® Hexagon™ processor. The GPU supports video encode/ decode at up to 4K30/4K60 and many different display connictities (LVDS, MIPI-DSI, eDP/DP). It delivers powerful edge AI for high-performance with upto 12 TOPS at low power and massive camera support with 4 MIPI-CSI inputs.
This solution delivers powerful performance and is purpose-built for industrial and commercial IoT applications such as ruggedized handhelds and tablets, kiosks, industrial scanners, dash cameras, point-of-sale systems and human machine interface systems.
The module is compliant with the latest SMARC 2.1.1 standard, allowing easy integration with SMARC baseboards. For evaluation and design-in of the SM2S-QCS6490 module, Avnet Embedded provides a development platform and a starter kit. Support for Linux is available (Android support available on request).
