The NI SOM (System on Module) combines the Xilinx Zynq All Programmable system on a chip (SoC) with supporting components such as memory on a small PCB and features a complete middleware solution and ready-to-go Linux-based real-time operating system (RTOS) already integrated. It gives design teams the customisability of a SOM without the increased time and risk of developing custom software.

The module enables design teams to deploy reliable, complex embedded systems faster because it is based on the LabVIEW reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architecture. This architecture has already been used in high-reliability applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles and cataract surgery machines.

The NI SOM is shipped with a complete middleware solution out of the box to remove the time and risk associated with developing an embedded OS, custom software drivers and other common software components.

It enables LabVIEW integration making powerful FPGA technology more accessible than ever before. The module offers a robust Linux-based RTOS, which gives design teams access to an extensive community of applications and IP, and design teams can use CompactRIO to quickly prototype their applications and then deploy them with the same code used for prototyping, which saves significant time and effort.
