SECO USA - Model Fury-X -Mobile, Internet of Things (IoT) Platform

The NXP SoloX processor features two heterogeneous ARM cores. The Cortex-M4 enables real time control with low power consumption while running a real time operating system (RTOS) such as FreeRTOS or MQX. The Cortex-A9 manages external network and graphics communications via a higher level operating system, such as Linux or Android, and may be powered down when not communicating to conserve power and minimize heat. The Cortex-A9 may also be utilized for local data processing when the Cortex-M4 is not sufficient.

The Fury-X IoT Platform includes the processor, DDR3, NAND flash, real time clock (RTC), watchdog timer, and peripheral interfaces such as: SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB 2.0 OTG, 3 USB 2.0 Hosts, two 10/100/1000 Ethernets (one is Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable), Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/ZigBee module, and LVDS video output. A companion daughter card provides expanded peripheral connectivity.

SECO USA provides a Linux BSP to run on the Cortex-A9. FreeRTOS and MQX RTOS are available to run on the Cortex-M4. Inter-processor communication is provided via BSP APIs that utilize SoloX hardware semaphores, interrupts, and memory buffers. These BSPs and integrated hardware-facilitated interprocessor communication enable a seamless programming model in combination with space- and power-optimized electronics.

The SoloX processor provides peripheral mapping capability, allowing any Fury-X peripheral to be controlled by the Cortex-M4 (real time), the Cortex-A9, or shared via semaphore and interrupt-based management.

For customers with specific product requirements, SECO USA’s engineering services can create custom solution daughter cards for the Fury-X, or combine the Fury-X with additional features to optimize recurring cost.
