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 find on a train the multimedia and connectivity level we have everywhere else in our lives, with screens giving us information, advertising, and connectivity for our needs, from a messaging app to a movie.
The community boards have two main problems: the hardware reliability-availability coming from the mindset of the community board maker and the deep native structure of its own O.S., like Debian or Raspbian, developed to work in normal laboratory conditions.
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.
Any Debian like OS continuously writes data on the microSD. If (when) an unexpected power-loss happens, during one of those cycles, data corruption will occur for sure at logical level and highly-probable at hardware level with all the consequences (example: microSD “burned”).
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 Secure Card finds its application wherever highly secure application software and data protected from local or remote hacker attacks are needed.

The latest product of the M-Line is Novasom M9 which joins the well-established M7 and M7Plus. This SBC is based on the prestige Rockchip 3399. This CPU offers the new Cortex A72’s performance and the multicore Quad A53 used to speed-up parallelism and lower consumption when needed, with one of the strongest GPU available on the market: the Mali-T860MP4.
The Novasom PoE adapters is a class of PoE PD devices designed to the standard IEEE802.2AX, while adding more features to this standard to allow a long lifetime in an industrial environment. These products are industrially designed, considering a 27/7/365 mission profile, an extended temperature range -40+85°C and critical EMC conditions to assure a long life without effort.
Moreover, the Novasom PoE adapters have been designed considering the real installation issues (situations where errors and wrong cabling may happen) and we have taken care of “the module and the people”. We have designed the device to protect the unit and its load from an irremediable damage, as well as the operator.
2 levels of power (15W and 30W) with load sensing, offers a wide range of use. Normal and extended temperature ranges are available (15W only).
The units are spike and surge protected from the input lane, as well as isolation and overload-short circuit protection from the load side.
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.
Novasom Industries has created the RASPMOOD concept.
To date this concept has been identified by our customers only with the hardware: the same form factor, the same geometry, the same 40-pin strip, etc.
Actually, Novasom Industries went far beyond by extending this concept to the Software.
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 customers the benefit of our experience that through innovation allows an optimal solution.
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 nightmares arrive.
Availability and stability problems, lack of certifications and nobody that really take care of your products neither of your problems. You are alone with thousand problems, your business is stopped and your customers are angry.
M8 is the first ARM based embedded computer on the market working with Microsoft Windows 10 IoT, offering the Microsoft UWP (Universal Windows Platform) and the intelligence of Microsoft Azure to help drive your application rapidly and safety to the market.
The safety of an SBC like a Novasom board can be assured by a redundant architecture, up to make the system SIL certifiable.
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.
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.
Needs push us to work with what we have, focusing on the complex application we need to do and the overall problem we are facing. This sometimes happens, then it’s too late and we find ourselves with a complex inefficient not so low cost system solution due to added “stuff”: adapters and so on.
It’s very easy to say industrial and be happy. Or to read industrial grade somewhere and be happy again. The problems start when the dream ends. A very bad wake up! And now it’s too late to change the setup of your project, so you have to run and try to reduce damages and losses.
Why you need real industrial products?
A community board is a cheap object, and it seems to work fine, with apparent support, drivers and tools available around the web. It was done for a single hobbyist user that wants to play a game, install it at home to listen to music, control the window shades or watch a movie or anything else requiring intelligence and not otherwise available.
A problem needs to be solved with a solution. A solution is the complete set of the things needed to solve a problem, not only one part of it. We take care of the overall problem, not just at the board level.
U1 is our postal stamp size SBC, the answer to the needs of the IoT world and Industry 4.0 in general. Where a smart, low cost, safe, quick to implement interface to the field, and where data need to be local acquired-processed and exchanged through a TCP-IP server for any cloud data processing/control, Novasom Industries U1 is the perfect answer.
