Innovative SoM1-SOC Unveils Unprecedented Features in Embedded Systems Development

[Reno, 01/09/2024] - Today, SundanceDSP, a leading innovator in embedded systems technology, proudly introduces the SoM1-SOC, a groundbreaking System-on-Module (SoM) powered by the Microchip PolarFire® SoC FPGA. This innovative module combines a low-power FPGA with a 64-bit, Linux-capable RISC-V processor, delivering an unparalleled level of security, performance, and efficiency for embedded systems development.
The heart of SoM1-SOC is the MPFS460T-1FCVG1152E device, boasting an impressive array of features, including 461K logic cells, 20 high-speed transceivers, two PCIe hard blocks, 136 MSS IOs, 180 HSIO, and 288 GPIOs. This module is a powerhouse, offering abundant resources to meet the demands of complex embedded systems.

Key Features of SoM1-SOC:
4GB 32-bit wide DDR4-3200 for MSS
8GB 64-bit wide DDR4-3200 for FPGA fabric
16GB eMMC 5.1 flash storage
10/100/1000 Ethernet PHY with RGMII interface
USB type C connector for power, UART, JTAG, and high-speed data transfer
Harting iX industrial ethernet connector for 1Gbps networking
2 RGB LEDs for user applications

When paired with the SE301, SoM1-SOC's capabilities expand further, unlocking access to an FMC HPC connector, 4 lanes of PCIe, high-speed networking via SFP+, a DisplayPort for terminal output, SATA for data storage, and a robust inter-module connection featuring 4 transceivers and a multitude of GPIO.

SundanceDSP's SoM1-SOC stands out as one of the most feature-rich SOCs ever available, providing users with unparalleled flexibility. The module can operate as a standalone device, simplifying development by enabling users to connect via a USB-C cable, which serves as a power supply, UART, JTAG, and high-speed data transfer to a host system.

"Today, we are thrilled to introduce the SoM1-SOC, a revolutionary product that redefines embedded systems development," said Dr. Nory Nakhaee, CEO at SuandnceDSP. "With its unmatched combination of features, including the powerful PolarFire SoC FPGA, flexible connectivity options, and user-friendly design, SoM1-SOC empowers developers to bring their ideas to life in ways never before possible."

"The new SoM1-SOC leverages the capabilities of Microchip's PolarFire SoC FPGA to provide a low-power, secure and reliable SoC FPGA SoM," said Krishnakumar, Senior Manager Product Marketing and Ecosystem, Microchip. "The PolarFire SoC FPGA offers a unique combination of a high-performance FPGA fabric with a Linux and real-time capable RISC-V processor subsystem and this SoM module from our partnership with SundanceDSP will be a great solution for designers across a variety of markets including industrial control, imaging and military applications."
