Phytec releases world's first System on Module with AM62Lx processor

With the phyCORE-AM62Lx-FPSC-24, Phytec is the world's first manufacturer to present a System on Module with the new AM62Lx processor from Texas Instruments.

Mainz, March 05, 2025

Phytec introduces the world's first System on Module (SOM) for the new AM62Lx processor from Texas Instruments. The phyCORE-AM62Lx-FPSC-24 was developed in close collaboration with TI and expands Phytec's series of pin-compatible FPSC soldering modules. With an entry-level price of under €30, the ultra-compact soldering module offers a powerful 53 GHz dual-core Cortex-A1,25 architecture and sets new standards for Linux-capable embedded systems. The SOM will be showcased for the first time at embedded world 2025 and is now available as part of an early access program.

Industrial Linux computer for under 30 euros

The phyCORE-AM62Lx-FPSC-24 SOM was specifically designed for industrial applications with high volumes and high robustness requirements. It offers the advantages of a full-featured Linux operating system at a module price starting at €30, which is otherwise only achieved with RTOS-based systems. Typical applications include industrial security gateways, HMIs, and sensor data systems. The processor and the phyCORE-SOM are available as the AM62Lx solo with 1,25 GHz Cortex A-53 and in the dual-core AM62Lx Dual variant. The system-on-module supports all processor features such as CAN-FD, 2x Gigabit Ethernet, and security functions such as Secure Boot, Crypto Acceleration, and Secure OTP. For LVDS displays, the module can optionally be equipped with a MIPI-to-LVDS converter.

Pin compatible and price optimized

The ultra-flat solder module complies with the Phytec FPSC-24 standard and is pin-compatible with other System on Modules, such as the soon-to-be-available phyCORE-AM62Px and future FPSC modules. This enables lifecycle upgrades and product variants with scalable performance and features. Like all FPSC modules, the phyCORE-AM62Lx-FPSC-24 was designed with cost-effective and robust construction and ease of processing in mind. It features low power consumption and requires no external cooling.

Early access program through partnership between Phytec and Texas Instruments

Phytec and Texas Instruments have been working closely together for many years, giving customers access to the latest processors and development tools. Initial samples of the phyCORE SOM are now available through an early access program. The module will be available for volume deployment immediately upon the processor's series launch.

Through the Phytec Academy, Phytec offers training for developers and FAEs in collaboration with TI. Phytec also advises and supports its customers based on the "Security by Design" principle on topics such as security, update and device management, as well as compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act, NIS-2, and other regulations.
