iWave Systems’ iW-RainboW-G30M System-on-Module and iW-RainboW-G30D Development Kit

iWave Systems has designed a new SoM that is based on the highly power-efficient AMD Xilinx ZU4/ZU5/ZU7 Zynq UltraScale+ FPGA MPSoC which is claimed to deliver advanced capabilities to LiDAR sensors. The new iW-RainboW-G30M SoM best suits scientific and military projects such as point cloud pre-processing, signal processing and machine learning acceleration. It is equipped with up to 4GB of RAM for the programmable logic, 8GB of RAM for the processing system, 240-pin high-density, 4x GTR transceivers, 16x high-speed PL-GTH transceivers at up to 16.3Gbps and high-speed connectors with many user I/Os.
