Ronetix iMX7-CM is a System-on-Module on a standard SO-DIMM 204 card (67.6 x 40 mm) built on the NXP i.MX7 Dual: two Arm Cortex-A7 cores at 1 GHz with a 200 MHz Cortex-M4 co-processor. It is an industrial workhorse with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, up to seven UARTs, two CAN buses, eight ADC channels, tamper inputs and up to 96 GPIOs, for control and communication products where interfaces matter more than graphics. Pertech is a Ronetix distributor.
