MistySoM Renesas RZ/G2L or RZ/V2L SoM and devkit goes for $112 and up
We’ve previously written about several system-on-modules and SBCs based on Renesas RZ/G2L or RZ/V2L Cortex-A55/M33 processors such as Geniatech "AHAURA" RS-G2L100 and "AKITIO" RS-V2L100 single board computers, Forlinx FET-G2LD-C system-on-module, and SolidRun RZ/G2LC SOM and devkit.
But most of those are hard to buy, and you need to contact the company, discuss your project, etc… before purchase, except for the SolidRun Renesas RZ/G2LC Evaluation Kit going for $249. Another option is the MistyWest MistySOM module offered for $112 and up on GroupGets with either Renesas RZ/G2L or RZ/V2L processor, as well as an optional carrier board.
MistySOM-G2L (aka MW-G2L) and MistySOM-V2L (aka MW-V2L) specifications:
The MistySOM-G2L targets industrial and commercial computing applications such as Barcode scanner systems, self-checkouts, HMI, network gateways, general-purpose SBCs, wearables cameras, and so on. The MistySOM-V2L is quite similar, but the integrated DRP-AI accelerator compatible with AI frameworks such as ONNX, PyTorch, and TensorFlow enables applications leveraging machine learning acceleration such as sports cameras with movement tracking, people counting, traffic monitoring, smart agriculture, construction safety, and more.
MistyWest also provides the MistyCarrier for the module with the following interfaces:
The modules and carrier boards are supported through the Renesas RZ/G Linux Platform based on the Civil Infrastructure Project (CIP) Super Long-Term Support (SLTS) Linux kernel. What I can't find right now is software documentation like getting started guides and the like. Maybe they just rely on Renesas’ documentation.
The MistySOM-G2L goes for $112, the MistySOM-V2L for $117, and most people will want to add the $165 carrier board as well, so a full evaluation/development kit costs around $280.
