The i.MX31 System on Module (SOM) is a compact, product-ready hardware and software solution that fast forwards your embedded product design.
Designed in the SOM-LV form factor, the i.MX31 module offers essential features for handheld and embedded networking applications. Use of custom baseboards makes the SOM-LV the ideal foundation for OEMs developing handheld and compact products. The SOM-LV provides a common reference pin-out on its expansion connectors, which enables easy scalability when new functionality or performance is required.
Application development is performed right on the product-ready i.MX31 SOM-LV and software Board Support Packages (BSPs), which enables you to seamlessly transfer your application code and hardware into production.
The i.MX31 SOM-LV is ideal for applications in the medical, point-of-sale, industrial, and security markets. From patient monitoring and medical imaging, to card payment terminals and bar code readers, to CCTV cameras and intruder alarms, the i.MX31 SOM-LV allows for powerful versatility and long-life products.
