Linux SoM


Aria G25 - Low cost Linux Embedded SMD module

Aria G25 is a cost-effective System-on-Module (SoM) thought of to drastically reduce the development time needed to design a low-power and low-EMI Linux Embedded device.

The more complex hardware like CPU, RAM, Ethernet, power and EMI components are integrated on a single SMD component in just 40x40 mm (1.57x1.57 inch) using an complex PCB with 8 layers permitting hardware designers to create their carrier board on simple and cheap 2 layers PCBs.

Main features

  • CPU: ARM9 @ 400Mhz on Atmel AT91SAM9G25 SoC
  • RAM: 128 or 256 MByte DDR2
  • LAN: 10/100 Mbit
  • USB: up to 3 host ports:
    • one hi-speed host/device

  • I2C: up to 2 I2C buses
  • SPI: up to 2 SPI buses
  • GPIO: up to 60 GPIO lines
  • A/D: up to four channel @ 10 bit

  • Power supply: single at 3.3 Volt DC
  • Consumption: see consumption...
  • Line level: TTL 3.3V
  • Temperature range: 0-70 °C and -20 +70 °C (-E version)
  • Size: 40 x 40 mm (1.57x1.57 inch)
  • Weight: 5g

Quick visual guide to create your own board

Click on the following image to take to see how it's simple to wire external components to design your custom board using Aria G25:

Evaluation board and fast prototyping system

A full features and easily expandable TERRA board is available to evaluate the Aria G25 SoM or to create end-user products for prototyping or low volume productions in the following application fields:

TERRA board is easy to expand with GPS, MEMS, RS232, RS485, Industrial IO interfaces, Relais, LCDs, etc. thanks to the Daisy module system and it is available with or without an integrated Quad Band GPRS modem.

Software environment and development tools

Aria G25 is designed to boot a Linux Embedded distribution compiled for ARM9 architecure from a microSD or a SD card. Optionally is it possible to boot from a serial flash or use different operating systems following the info available on thirdy party web sites:

We propose, by default, a Debian Linux bootable from microSD card. Ready to use microSD cards are available on our eShop but any executable can be built starting from sources and following our tutorials. The basic requirements are a Linux Ubuntu PC.

Like any other Linux systems, on Aria G25 it is possible to develop in almost any language using differents tools. In the developers page we illustrate some different development methods available and examples to manage the embedded peripherals in C or Python languages.

The C compiler and the Python interpreter are pre-installed by default. Also a small web server (Lighttpd) and PHP language interpreter is already available for the web development.

Other languages, tools, web servers, etc are available from Debian binary repositories and can be installed in few minutes.

Custom boards based on Aria G25

If you like Aria G25 but you have no time or knowledge to design and produce hardware devices by yourself please contact_us to receive the contacts of companies which could help you to create your project.

Third party projects and consulting services

Visit the third party gallery of projects built around the Aria G25 board and consulting services available to design custom board based on Aria G25.

Aria G25 pinout

Aria G25 has 96 pads organised in 4 groups; NORTH, EAST, SOUTH and WEST. Each pin is numbered clockwise from 1 to 24 (i.e. N1,N2 ... N24 then E1,E2 ... E24, etc.). The CPU internal peripheral signals are multiplexed on the pads identified by PAxx, PBxx or PCxx depending on the Kernel configuration.

Following is the default assignment provided by default on the ready to use Linux Kernel image available on this site:

Refer to the AT91SAM9G25 datasheet to know more regarding the CPU internal peripherals and pin functions.

What you have to know before buyng Aria G25 SoM

Price

The Aria G25 prices are fixed so don't change for hi-volume batch. These are the main reasons:

You can buy the Aria G25 on-line using our eShop or by contacting us. We can speak English, French, Italian of course and a little bit of Spanish.

Very soon we'll have an Acme Systems branch in Canada for the Canadian and U.S.A. market.

Warranty terms

We make deep functionality tests on any outcoming board and the warranty does not cover boards which have been left out of its original enclosure for a long time (max 10 days) or when the pads are welded (please read the terms and conditions for more details).
