Comet A13 SOM and Evaluation Kit
Superior processing performance thanks to high-performance Arm processors
Employing a high-performance Arm configuration combining Cortex-A76 and A55, it offers improved single-thread performance compared to conventional SoMs. This ensures stable processing power even for demanding applications such as edge AI and image processing.
Outstanding I/O performance and high-speed interface
In addition to 191 HVIO pins, it features high-speed transceivers with a maximum speed of 17.16Gbps. Direct connection of sensors and cameras is easy, and it supports high-speed communication such as 10GbE and PCIe. Complex systems can be built simply.

Cooling solutions
Comet A13 SOM The Evaluation Kit comes standard with an aluminum heat spreader, which efficiently dissipates heat from the main heat sources on the module to a large surface area, resulting in effective heat dissipation.
If the expected power consumption exceeds 7W, or if the LE (Logic Element) utilization rate in the user's FPGA application exceeds 85% and the operating clock exceeds 200 MHz, we recommend using forced air cooling with a fan to maintain the FPGA within a safe operating temperature range.
Constitution
The Evaluation Kit consists of modules and carriers.
