Octavo OSD62x-PM SiP combines Texas Instruments AM62x SoC with up to 2GB DDR4 in a tiny 14x9mm BGA package
Octavo OSD62x-PM System-in-Package (SiP) integrates Texas Instruments AM62x quad-core Cortex-A53 SoC, up to 2GB DDR4 memory, and required passive components into a tiny 14x9mm BGA package. It’s a smaller and cheaper version of the Octava OSD62x SiP (21x21mm) with AM62x SoC, DDR4, PMIC, EEPROM, and optional integrations. We noted both the OSD62x and OSD62x-PM in our previous article, but both are now available for purchase, and the OSD62-PM-BRK Evaluation Board is also ready to ship. Octavo OSD62x-PM specifications: SoC – Texas Instruments AM62x (AM623/AM625) CPU – Up to 4x Arm Cortex-A53 @ 1.4GHz MCU – Arm Cortex-M4F GPU – 3D...
GL.iNet Comet Pro Remote KVM over WiFi 6 solution offers 2.2-inch touchscreen display, HDMI loop support (Crowdfunding)
GL.iNet Comet Pro (GL-RM10) is a remote KVM over WiFi 6 or Ethernet with a built-in touchscreen display for easy configuration, and support for 4Kp30 with a low latency of 30-60 ms with H.264 hardware encoding. Like other KVM solutions, it allows users to control a computer or board remotely, even when it’s turned off or when accessing the BIOS. It’s built upon the Comet (GL-RM1) KVM over IP solution, adding WiFi 6, HDMI pass-through, and a touchscreen display for easy configuration. It still features a USB-C port for keyboard and mouse emulation, and a USB-A port for ATX power...
Once upon a time, there was Hackafe in Plovdiv — a place to share ideas and learn new things about the IT industry
Many workshops and learning courses were organized by enthusiasts who generously shared their knowledge free of charge. It was a great time. The events were hosted at Programista company, right in the center of Plovdiv — a very convenient location. Later, the company moved, and Hackafe no longer had a place to gather. The enthusiasm […]
