SECO has announced SOM-SMARC-Dragonwing-IQ8 to bridge Arduino prototyping and industrial Edge AI use. The company if offering a limited number of the hardware samples, enabling OEMs and engineering teams to evaluate the SMARC Rel. 2.1.1 module.
Developed as part of SECO’s collaboration with Arduino and Qualcomm Technologies, the module is designed to support customers moving from rapid prototyping to production-oriented architectures for AI-enabled robotics, smart machines, industrial vision, HMI and machine control.
Developers can build and validate their applications on Arduino VENTUNO Q and use Arduino App Lab to port them to SECO’s Dragonwing IQ8-based system-on-module, helping preserve the software work completed during prototyping as they move toward a production-oriented architecture.
SECO complements this software continuity with industrial-grade SMARC hardware, carrier board design expertise, BSP and OS support, cybersecurity services, long-term lifecycle management, and out-of-the-box support for the Clea framework. Clea extends the hardware capabilities with fleet management, secure remote OTA updates, remote troubleshooting, container orchestration and accelerated AI workflow deployment at scale via Clea Studio AI, for long-term scalability, all within the Works with ArduinoTM ecosystem.
“Simplifying and streamlining the development transition from Arduino VENTUNO Q to SECO’s industrial SOM is important because it helps turn developer innovation into scalable industrial products, in a faster and reliable manner,” said Eric Mazzoleni, VP, Industrial, IoT and Robotics Europe at Qualcomm Germany.
