The Cyber Resilience Act is changing the way embedded device manufacturers should approach hardware platform selection. Secure Boot, updates, SBOM, and vulnerability management are becoming just as important as performance and available interfaces. In this article, we explain how Variscite solutions can support the development of devices designed with the new cybersecurity requirements in mind.

The memory market is having an increasingly significant impact on embedded project timelines, which is why the choice of an SoM module should not, nowadays, be based solely on technical specifications. For companies planning new devices, the key consideration is whether a specific memory configuration is actually available for evaluation, prototyping and subsequent production. In this context, the available Variscite SMARC modules can be a practical way to get started without having to wait for the market to stabilise.

Variscite is expanding its SoM module portfolio with SMARC-format solutions, adding the VAR-SMARC-MX8M-PLUS and VAR-SMARC-MX95 models to its range. This is a significant step for embedded system designers seeking a standardised format, a comprehensive set of interfaces, and a stable platform for developing industrial, multimedia and edge AI applications. The new modules combine the manufacturer’s expertise in the SoM sector with the requirements of projects where integration flexibility, hardware security and the possibility of long-term migration are key.

In an era of rapid data growth and increasing demands for intelligent analysis, effective data analytics is the key to market advantage. With high-performance computing chips and libraries to support application development, these advanced platforms pave the way to process data faster, automate processes and achieve higher precision. Discover the potential of Variscite's solutions to help companies across industries achieve new levels of automation and precision.

VAR-SOM-MX91 is the latest System-on-Module from Variscite, which was recently demonstrated for the first time at the COMPUTEX 2023 conference in Taipei, as part of NXP's announcement of the upcoming i.MX 91 SoC.
