New SOM speeds development of embedded systems
New from NI, the sbRIO-9651 System on Module (SOM) combines the Xilinx Zynq All Programmable system on a chip (SoC) with supporting components such as memory on a small PCB and features a complete middleware solution. Ready-to-go Linux-based real-time operating system (RTOS) is already integrated.
The NI SOM is said to give design teams the customisability of a SOM without the increased time and risk of developing custom software.
Sebastien Boria, R&D mechatronics technology leader at Airbus, comments: “We have evaluated several SOMs and embedded SBCs, and there is no comparison to the software integration offered by NI. We estimate that our development costs with the NI SOM are a tenth of the costs of alternative approaches because of the productivity gains of NI’s approach to system design, in particular to NI Linux Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA.”
