Advantech presents its new ROM-7720 Arm-based Qseven module

Advantech, a global leader in the embedded computing market, announces its first NXP i.MX8 product: ROM-7720, an Arm-based Qseven module powered by the NXP Arm Cortex-A72 i.MX8, Quad Octa-Core high-performance processor. ROM-7720 supports 4K resolution via HDMI 2.0 with H.265 H264 hardware accelerator engines for video decoding and additional GPU for image processing. Using OpenVX, it is ideal for AI, machine vision, and big data processing and analytics applications in the IoT era.

Powerful Computing Performance for Visual Processing

ROM-7720 adopts NXP i.MX8 Quad Max SoC, which integrates two Cortex-A72, four Cortex-A53 and two Cortex-M4F processor cores and the Vivante GC7000XS/VX graphics engine, which supports OpenGL ES, OpenCL and OpenVL (vision) SDK for developing images, data processing, and analytics applications. ROM-7720 supports display output with HDMI2.0 (3840 x 2160 @60Hz), dual channel 24bit LVDS for multiple displays, and 2 + 4 lanes MIPI-CSI camera input. It provides a high resolution display and meets the camera requirements of different machine vision applications.

New High Speed Interface for AI and Machine Vision Applications

ROM-7720 offers new high speed I/O, including USB 3.0, PCIe 3.0 and SATA 3.0 for the ARMplatform. It provides efficient interfaces for extending peripheral devices, such as the SSD, 5G cellular card, and FPGA IC to empower new AI and machine vision development.
