Railway applications are becoming increasingly present in our life because the train is considered by everyone to be a sustainable transportation service, and it is becoming faster and more comfortable than in the past thanks to high-speed technology developed within the last 10 years. As in any aspect of our modern life, we do expect to...
With the growth in computational power provided by the new generation A72-73 multicore CPUs, heat generation has again become a problem after years of reducing consumption that had allowed us to forget about it in previous designs. The A53 low-consumption technology we use in to our M7 allows our engineers to make a totally cold design that does...
This new encryption module that can be easy connected and controlled is a welcome addition to The Novasom Single board computers The Secure Card developed by Novasom is our ultimate encryption hardware module The unit has a cryptographic coprocessor with hardware-based secure key storage and hardware support for asymmetric signature, verification, key agreement and symmetric algorithms. The...
The PoE – Power over Ethernet – is a standard ruled by the IEEE 802.3Ax, conceived to transport power in the form of a DC current using the free pairs of an Ethernet RJ45 connector that requires only 2 pairs, so 4 pin to transmit data. DC current assures the total absence or any kind of disturbance – in...
After the great success of the Novasom M7 platform, based on the RK3328 CPU that offers incredible performance and reliability to our customers, we thought about what we could do that would provide an even more usable, more reliable, and better industrialized product, in order to even better solve our customers’ problems. This is our...
Novasom Industries is committed to give its customers the solutions they need, which is much more than just a standard board. This approach, often starts from a global picture with our typical opening:” Don’t just tell me what you need, but tell me ‘What do you need to do?’”. We are pleased to offer our...
Designed to replace the Pi3 with an Industrial object A community board is, in general, an inexpensive object, it seems to work fine, with apparent support, drivers and software tools available around the web. It seem to be the solution to all your problems but when you start an industrial project with thousands boards then...
OUR VISION OF SAFETY The safety of an SBC like a Novasom board can be assured by a redundant architecture, up to make the system SIL certifiable. EXTREME CASES like MEDICAL EQUIPMENT RAILWAYS Obviously this increases the cost and complexity of the system, but warranties that if a cpu stops working, there is another able to take...
Operating Temperature Range The big problem is not the lower limit, -20 or -40, but THE UPPER! Then, generally speaking, and excluding some particular PLLs or analog electronics, not the cases in our Industrial SBC world, all automatically heat themselves while working. While excluding the ice and humidity problem by doing an appropriate conformal coating to the board, the big problem...
Hacking from the web Every system connected to the web can be hacked by somebody that can fraudulently and slyly enter, and change something at os level for example, to halt the system, or at application level, to let the system act differently than intended. Classic hackers job could be to steal a password , or use remotely and without permission a camera...
