i.MX 8M Plus solderable LGA module follows OSM Size-L standard

SGET Open Standard Module (OSM) specification was ratified in November 2020. It defined specifications for solderable LGA system-on-modules, and we first noticed it though through the launch of F&S Elektronik “FS 8MM OSM-SF” module powered by an NXP i.MX 8M Mini processor, and following OSM Size-S standard (30x30mm).

As we noted in our introduction about the Open Standard Module, SGET defined four sizes from Size-0 (30x15mm) to Size-L (45x45mm), and there’s now at least one “Large” OSM module courtesy of iWave Systems, and their iW-RainboW-G40M module equipped with an NXP i.MX 8M Plus processor for AI applications.

iW-RainboW-G40M specifications:

• SoC- NXP i.MX 8M Plus Q/QL/D quad-/dual-core Cortex-A53 processor up to 2.0 GHz, with Arm Cortex-M7 real-time core @ 800 MHz, Vivante GC7000UL 3D GPU, Vivante GC520L 2D GPU, 2.3 TOPS NPU
• System Memory – Up to 8GB LPDDR4 Memory
• Storage – Up to 256GB eMMC flash
• Wireless – 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth 5.0 (802.11ax is optional)
• Power Supply – 5V/2.5A
