Vybrid VF6/VF5 System On-Module,
LC (Low Cost) Version
|
|
The Emcraft Systems NXP Vybrid SOM LC is the cost-optimised version of the Emcraft Vybrid System-On-Module, available in two power- and pin-compatible variants:
1) The VF6 SOM LC module makes use of the NXP Vybrid VF6 dual-core ARM processor (Cortex-A5 at 500MHz and Cortex-M4 at 167MHz) and provides 512MB DDR3, 512MB NAND Flash and on-board 10/100 Ethernet PHY. This part is ideal for various commercial, industrial, HMI, and real-time applications.
2) The VF5 SOM LC module makes use of the NXP Vybrid VF5 ARM processor (Cortex-A5 at 500MHz) and provides 256MB DDR3, 256MB NAND Flash and on-board 10/100 Ethernet PHY. This part specifically targets cost-sensitive Vybrid applications.

Hardware
Here you will find hardware specifications, design files and various hardware materials describing the Vybrid SOM LC and the Starter Kit. All materials are equally applicable to both the VF6 SOM LC and VF5 SOM LC modules, even if titled as "VF6 SOM LC". Whenever differences between the VF6 and VF5 variants are important, the documents explicitly explain any such differences.
If you would like to ask any question about the SOM and kit hardware architecture, please do not hesitate to contact us.
