Mouser Electronics is now offering Lattice Semiconductor’s CrossLinkU-NX System-on-Module (SoM) board, designed for vision, sensing, edge computing, and AI applications where power and resources are limited.
Powered by the CrossLinkU-NX FPGA, the board supports camera input and video output through a USB 3.0 Type-C interface. It integrates USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 PHY capabilities, low-power Always-On operation, and a comprehensive suite of reference designs to simplify USB device development. The SoM board provides direct access to CSI-2 camera connectivity, USB 3.1 device functions, digital I/O, and includes two PMOD expansion connectors via a daughter board for added flexibility and peripheral support.
The CrossLinkU-NX SoM board can be paired with a purpose‑built carrier card for Raspberry Pi CM5 connectivity, supporting essential interfaces, such as Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.1 host, microSD storage, GPIOs, and comprehensive debugging. The CrossLinkU-NX SoM board runs a highly optimized Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), supporting real-time person and gesture detection for up to five individuals, and features a programming circuit that supports the radiant programmer via a USB or FTDI interface, using JTAG or SPI. The CrossLinkU-NX board delivers advanced functionality and a low power footprint for next-generation designs in embedded vision, sensor aggregation, sensor duplication, and AI inference at the edge.
