CHERRY unveiled its new System-on-Module (SoM), the TIGER SOM-RK3588-Q7.

Auerbach, May 13, 2024 ā€“ CHERRY unveiled its new System-on-Module (SoM), the TIGER SOM-RK3588-Q7, engineered to deliver exceptional computational performance, the ability to connect multiple high-resolution cameras, deep learning capabilities, and state-of-the-art security functions. 

Core features of the TIGER SOM-RK3588-Q7:

  • TIGER SOM-RK3588-Q7 is based on Rockchipā€™s high-end, low-power SoC RK3588, featuring an octa-core CPU with four ARM Cortex-A76 and four ARM Cortex-A55, an ARM Mali-G610 GPU, and an NPU with up to 6 TOPs. 
  • The CPU enables both ARM Cryptographic Extension for wire-rate AES cryptography and Advanced SIMD vector processing.
  • Equipped with a triple-core NPU, the module supports multi-task and multi-scenario operations based on deep learning frameworks including TensorFlow, Caffe, Pytorch and others. It is ideally suited for real-time object detection and scene recognition in various applications.
  • Four MIPI CSI interfaces provide native support for cost-effective high-resolution cameras. 
  • Featuring an optional Secure Element certified to EAL6+ and a secure boot mechanism guaranteeing that only signed images can run on the device, the SoM ensures government-grade security for the identification and storage of keys. This enables cloud services such as remote software management and preventive device management to be rendered while maintaining the highest level of cybersecurity.

Dr. Stefan Roth, Managing Director of CHERRY Embedded Solutions, states, ā€œTIGER SOM-RK3588-Q7 is part of our SoM series, which has been specially designed to meet the needs of demanding intelligent mobile IoT applications.
