IMDT V2N Renesas RZ/V2N SoM powers Edge AI SBC with HDMI, MIPI DSI, dual GbE, WiFi 4, and more

IMD Technologies has recently introduced the IMDT V2N SoM based on the newly launched Renesas RZ/V2N low-power AI MPU and its SBC carrier board designed for robotics, smart cities, industrial automation, and IoT applications.

The SoM ships with 8GB RAM and 32GB eMMC flash, and supports various interfaces through B2B connectors including two 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 interfaces, a MIPI DSI display interface, and more. The SBC supports MIPI DSI or HDMI video output, dual GbE, WiFi 4 and Bluetooth 5.2,  as well as expansion capabilities through M.2 sockets.

While writing the specifications, it was really hard to find the datasheet of the product because the company calls it a brochure, so annoying! Another thing I have noticed is that they do not mention anything about power, like the operating voltage or current specifications.

IMDT also doesn’t mention anything about software support for their SoM and SBC, but from our previous post, we know that the Renesas RZ/V2N MPU supports a Verified Linux Package, DRP-AI Translator for AI model conversion, and GPU-accelerated rendering via RZ MPU Graphics and Video Codec libraries. The Smart Configurator simplifies software integration, while the e² studio IDE provides debugging tools. Additional resources include OpenCV acceleration, HTML5 frameworks, security packages, and sample code.

The IMDR V2N SBC ships as a kit with two USB-C to USB-C cables for power supply and debugging, a Full HD USB camera, and two AR1335 MIPI cameras. It also comes with a USB-C PD 35W wall adapter featuring foldable US prongs and replaceable EU and UK plugs. Additionally, an antenna is included for wireless connectivity. Optional accessories include a DSI to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable for display output.

The company has yet to provide any pricing information about the module and SBC. More information can be found on the product page and announcement.
