Embedded World 2019
Outlook for future module concepts
TQ Systems presented a selection of upcoming embedded modules at Embedded World. The latest CPUs from the manufacturers Texas Instruments, Renesas and NXP will be used.
The new module concepts from TQ Systems use CPUs from the manufacturers TI, NXP and Renesas. At Renesas, TQ relies on the new RZ/G2 CPU family, which provides two pin-to-pin compatible CPU variants for embedded modules. Both a Quad Cortex A53 and a Dual Cortex A57 are used as the core architecture. This module concept is characterized both by the use of the energy-efficient core architecture and by the Renesas software concept.
In the second concept, TQ Systems is expanding its product portfolio based on TI CPUs. The new AM65xx series with up to four Cortex-A53 cores is to be implemented, which is characterized by the expansion of the programmable real-time unit properties. This allows projects to be implemented that require real-time and TSN in conjunction with graphics functions. In the Layerscape area, TQ is planning to use the LX2160A high-end communication processor. This CPU offers the option of using 24 high-speed SerDes lanes for fast data communication. The computing power can be comprehensively scaled using eight, twelve or sixteen Cortex-A72 cores. Up to two 100 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces can be realized with this CPU from NXP.
