The agreement will help it to extend the implementation of advanced AI and IoT technologies through the company’s off-the-shelf embedded computing systems. As a result of this partnership a new family of systems-on-module (SOMs) based on the MediaTek Genio 700 and Genio 510 application processors has been unveiled.

The Grinn GenioSOM-700 and GenioSOM-510 are said to be the world’s smallest SOMs and are based on the MediaTek Genio platform. They are able to support a combination of demanding compute workloads, real-time AI operations, and high-quality video, display and audio applications.

According to Grinn, the partnership with MediaTek will help it to develop custom embedded computing solutions and it will be able to draw directly on advanced technical support from MediaTek, early access to MediaTek product roadmaps, and privileged supply-chain support.

“The solutions that are being brought to life through our partnership with Grinn utilise AI capabilities and advanced connectivity, enabling a wide variety of benefits in the SOM and wireless module space,” explained CK Wang, General Manager of the IoT Business Group at MediaTek. “The MediaTek Genio 700 makes it possible for Grinn to effectively address a diverse range of IoT applications and market segments.”

“At Grinn, we are working to make the integration of edge AI into end products far less complex for customers. The combination of high-performance computing and low power consumption in our ready-to-use modules means our clients can move from prototyping to deployment much faster,” said Robert Otreba, CEO of Grinn. He continued, “The partnership with MediaTek ensures that innovative AI solutions at the edge are not only more accessible, but also scalable and production-ready from day one.”

The Grinn GenioSOM-700 is a high-performance SOM for smart home devices, industrial automation equipment and computer vision systems which require high-throughput vision processing capability and advanced AI acceleration. It is based on the Genio 700 processor and is supplied in an LGA-312 format which has a footprint of just 37.0mm x 42.6mm.

The SOM’s processor features dual 2.2GHz Arm Cortex-A78 cores for intensive compute workloads, six 2.0GHz Cortex-A55 cores for efficient multi-tasking, and an Arm Mali-G57 graphics processing unit (GPU) for graphics and smooth image rendering. The MT8390 supports real-time AI operation thanks to an on-chip 4 TOPS neural processing unit (NPU).

Grinn’s GenioSOM-510 is based on the MediaTek Genio 510 processor. Featuring dual 2.2GHz Arm Cortex-A78 cores and four Cortex-A55 cores, this SOM also features a an on-chip NPU.

The Grinn GenioEVB is a versatile evaluation platform for the Grinn GenioSOM family of modules and comes with a wide range of headers, making the integration of sensors and modules with the Grinn GenioSOM products simple. It also serves as a reference for developers, streamlining the creation of schematics and PCB layouts for new product development.
