2.2 Features
The kit comprises a baseboard with a soldered SAMA5D27 SOM1 module. The module features a SAMA5D27-D1G-CU SIP embedding a 1-Gbit DDR2 SDRAM. The SOM offers a reliable and cost-effective embedded platform for building end products, as well as a small form factor, complemented by many connectivity interfaces. The SOM is a fully-featured industrially-certified single board computer designed for integration into customer applications.
The SOM module is a purpose-built small footprint hardware platform equipped with a wide array of high-speed connectivity engineered to support various applications such as IoT endpoints, wearables, appliances or industrial equipment.
The SOM integrates a 1-Gbit DDR2 SDRAM, a QSPI memory and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller. 128 GPIO pins are provided by the SOM for general use in the system. All GPIO pins are independent and can be configured as inputs or outputs, with or without pull-up/pull-down resistors.
The baseboard features a wide range of peripherals, as well as a user interface and expansion options, including two mikroBUS™ click interface headers to support over 300 MikroElektronika click boards™ and one Pmod™ interface.
