CrossLinkU-NX System on Module (SoM) Board

Empowering Edge AI with Lattice CrossLink-NX33U SOM Solution

Lattice Semiconductor introduces a cutting-edge System on Module (SOM) built on the CrossLinkU-NX FPGA, designed for resource-constrained Edge AI applications. This SOM provides direct access to CSI-2 input, USB 3.1 Device interface, digital I/O, and an Always-On (AON) feature, enabling advanced functionality with lowest power footprint in compact designs.

Paired with small form factor, purpose built carrier card to connect CrossLinkU-NX SOM with Raspberry Pi CM5, the solution delivers a complete platform for intelligent systems. The carrier card integrates essential interfaces from CM5 e.g. 1-G Ethernet, USB3.1 Host, microSD storage and GPIOs along with debug interfaces for both SOM and CM5, ensuring seamless connectivity and flexibility for diverse applications.

Features

  • Supports 4Lane MIPI CSI-2 receiver (Soft D-PHY) interface for camera data
  • Support SPI flash configuration and micro-USB connector for power and FPGA configuration
  • Boot from onboard Flash
  • On Board JTAG connector header
  • Support 64Mb for HyperRam Memory Interface with CrossLinkU-NX
