Inforce 6601 Micro SoM
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Processor
Purpose built for advanced embedded systems
Introducing the latest and long-lifecycle Inforce 6601 Micro SOM, powered by the next-generation ARM®v8 64-bit quad-core Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820 applications processor, for advanced embedded designs. Upgrade legacy embedded designs to the cross-compatible Inforce 6601 Micro SOM. The Inforce 6601 Micro SOM maintains pin, connector, electrical, and form-factor compatibility with Inforce 6401™ and Inforce 6501™ Micro SOMs. There’s no need to redesign your existing Micro SOM compatible carrier board. Get a head start and accelerate your time-to-market.
Take advantage of cutting-edge mobile technologies such as immersive 3D graphics, power-efficient DSP, advanced camera ISPs, 4K HEVC video encode/decode, HDMI 2.0, and state-of-the-art connectivity. Empower exceptional and path-breaking embedded-applications. Build virtual reality, computer vision, video collaboration, and medical imaging devices.
Production-Ready For Volume Manufacturing
Plug-and-play for fast prototyping
The Inforce 6601 Micro SOM is fully supported by a full-featured and cross-compatible carrier board for fast prototyping.(BSP/OS and device drivers provided).
Cross-compatibility for easy migration
Upgrade Inforce 6401 and Inforce 6501 Micro SOM based legacy designs—just swap the SOMs on your custom carrier board and write new application software.
High density compute and connectivity
