FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inforce Computing is pleased to announce the launch of a new Channel Partner Agreement with Mouser Electronics. The agreement provides greatly expanded product sales and distribution capabilities for the Inforce Computing family of Qualcomm® Snapdragon powered single board computer (SBC) and system on module (SOM) hardware.
Inforce offers off-the-shelf and build-to-order SBC and SOM devices that are designed for a wide range of industrial, embedded and IoT applications. The Inforce in-house engineering team provides a pathway from prototype to full commercial production drawing on years of DFM experience.
The Inforce product line includes the 6301 micro-SOM based on Qualcomm®’s powerful, well-proven, and long lifecycle Snapdragon™ 410E processor (APQ8016E) for embedded applications. The plug-and-play Inforce 6301 Micro SOM comes in an ultra-small form factor of 28mm x 50mm and weighs under 10 grams.
The Inforce 6601 Micro SOM supports HDMI 2.0 based 4K Ultra HD display, hardware assisted (HEVC/H.265) 4K Ultra HD video capture, streaming, & playback, and up to 28MP camera support (Zero shutter lag) via dual image signal processors (ISPs). Measuring an ultra-small 28mm x 50mm and weighing under 11 grams (0.4oz), it fits the compute requirements of several SWaP (size, weight and power) constrained high-end embedded applications. Target end-uses that can benefit from these capabilities include high-end industrial IoT, video analytics, advanced medical imaging, AR/VR enhanced hands-free computing (HMD), and computer vision based commercial robots and drones.
The Inforce 6309 Micro SBC is the 3rd in the family of Snapdragon processor-based embedded computing platforms from Inforce. Unique features include support for WiFi/BLE, GPS, HDMI displays, dual-MIPI-CSI cameras, GbE ports, LVDS, and optional PoE and RS485 interfaces. With robust support for an upstream Linux kernel (Linaro) and Android (Lollipop), coupled with extended operating temperature and long lifecycle, the Inforce 6309 Micro SBC provides an ideal choice for a multitude of industrial applications.
The Inforce 6640 SBC is based on Qualcomm®’s first custom 64-bit quad-core processor, Snapdragon™ 820 (APQ8096 SoC) which is manufactured in an advanced 14nm FinFET Low Power Plus (LLP) fabrication process that allows faster switching speeds and lower voltage operation in a smaller footprint. With better imaging capabilities due to the Spectra™ camera ISP, an improved GPU architecture and excellent video and connectivity options, it is targeted at embedded system applications that require hi-tech smart visual technologies and intense video Analytics. It supports H.265 (HEVC) playback @4K60 and capture @4K30.
