Staying on-trend with the market's shift towards a cost-effective highly integrated off-the-shelf solution, the VAR-SOM-SOLO from Variscite levels the playing ground for a broad spectrum of embedded products. Bringing all the benefits of the widely successful VAR-SOM-MX6, the VAR-SOM-SOLO from Variscite carries much smaller dimensions and a slim lined price-point.  Features include Freescale's i.MX6 1GHz Cortex-A9, SLC NAND, eMMC, dual band Wi-Fi/BT with MIMO, USB, Gigabit Ethernet, A/V interfaces and industrial operating temperatures.
