The Grinn AstraSOM-1680 system-on-module is purpose-built for engineers looking to accelerate edge AI product development, particularly in smart camera and AI gateway applications. Based on the Synaptics SL1680 processor, AstraSOM delivers 8 TOPS of NPU compute alongside a multi-core Cortex architecture—bringing high-performance AI to embedded systems that require on-device inference, video analysis, and low-latency decision-making.
Designed for integration into compact and ruggedised products, the Grinn AstraSOM-1680 module is solderable and compatible with the official Synaptics SDK. Engineers can quickly deploy AI models—such as object detection or behaviour analysis—without needing cloud connectivity or expensive infrastructure. With built-in support for quantisation and pruning, developers can optimise neural networks to run efficiently on-device, extending battery life and reducing heat without compromising intelligence.
One of the standout features of the Grinn AstraSOM-1680 is its real-time video handling. Capable of processing 1080p streams locally, the module enables smart cameras that act as AI-powered sensors—filtering and sending only metadata or alerts to the cloud. This not only improves responsiveness and reduces bandwidth but also enhances system privacy and reliability. Whether used in surveillance, access control, or industrial monitoring, the module’s edge-first design ensures that intelligence stays where it’s needed: on-site.
To simplify prototyping, Grinn offers a full development kit for AstraSOM. Engineers benefit from rich I/O options including Ethernet, Power-over-Ethernet, PCIe expansion, ADCs, GPIOs, and camera inputs via MIPI CSI. With this breadth of connectivity, the module is ideal for a range of embedded AI applications across smart cities, factories, and security environments.
Support for Linux and the availability of a robust SDK ensure developers can hit the ground running, while Grinn’s own product development experience means customers receive more than just hardware—they get practical design support from a team that understands real-world deployment challenges.
Distribution for the AstraSOM module is planned through major electronics suppliers including Digi-Key, Mouser, RS Components, and Distrelec. Whether you’re scaling an industrial AI product or building a bespoke vision-based device, the Grinn AstraSOM-1680 gives you a powerful and accessible foundation for edge AI innovation.
