Smallest ever Linux-capable wireless i.MX6 module?
Mistral’s tiny “Nano SOM” runs Linux or Android on a quad- or dual-core Cortex-A9 i.MX6 SoC, and offers built-in WiF and /BT, plus extensive multimedia I/O.
Bangalore, India-based Mistral Solutions, a long-time supplier of hardware and software development kits for TI’s OMAP and Sitara SoCs, will soon ship a tiny new module based on Freescale’s i.MX6 SoCs that’s being promoted as the “smallest ever SOM” (system-on-module). Although the “smallest ever” claim is a stretch, in our estimation (more on that farther below), the 44 x 26mm Mistral “Nano SOM” does indeed appear to be one of the tiniest Linux- or Android-capable modules with on-board wireless that we’ve encountered. And it’s also loaded with numerous multimedia and other I/O interfaces.
