SolidRun has recently launched a single-board computer which combines high flexibility and connectivity for IIoT and HMI systems.
SolidRun, Israel has introduced its new ‘HummingBoard i.MX8M IIOT’ which is a single-board computer (SBC) with high-performance feature making it a versatile solution for Industrial IoT (IIoT) and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) applications. Leveraging the i.MX8M plus system on module (SOM), it delivers reliable processing power for complex industrial needs. This SBC is ideal for monitoring, controlling, and automating processes in demanding environments, meeting industrial protocols and operating seamlessly in temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.
The board’s robust connectivity options, including dual CAN-FD and dual 1Gb ethernet with power over ethernet (PoE) support, make it well-suited for industrial automation, such as factory and energy management systems. Its support for RS232 and RS485 industrial protocols supports compatibility with existing networks, allowing real-time data transfer from sensors across a facility. These features make it invaluable for advanced IIoT applications requiring adaptability and scalability.
Equipped with a high-speed i.MX 8M Plus Quad-core A53 processor running up to 1.8GHz, the SBC is designed for high-quality graphics and interactive HMI interfaces, crucial for industries relying on equipment monitoring and real-time performance insights. The board’s M.2 slots offer LTE connectivity with dual SIM support and compatibility with AI accelerators and NVMe storage, making it suitable for remote or large-scale installations in sectors like logistics, where continuous monitoring and data access are critical.
In addition to its extensive connectivity, the SBC is crafted for long-term scalability, featuring a 10-year lifecycle and a modular design that allows customization. The company’s software support includes the Yocto and Debian BSP, alongside drivers for TPM 2.0, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth low energy, and a range of interfaces, enabling rapid deployment in industrial setups. Dr. Atai Ziv, CEO, SolidRun, stated, “We designed the HummingBoard i.MX8M IIOT SBC to exceed the rigorous demands of modern industrial environments,” underscoring the flexibility and power it provides for industrial IoT and HMI integration.
Adding to its capabilities, the company also introduced the IIOT-200-8M Gateway which is a ready-to-deploy IoT gateway tailored for versatile IIoT applications. With support for multiple industrial protocols and M.2 card expansion for LTE and NVMe, this Gateway offers adaptable performance for various industrial needs. Encased in durable aluminium and mountable on a DIN rail, this gateway complements the SBC, providing a reliable solution for current industrial facilities.
