The TechNexion AIOM-SL2610 is a small but powerful system-on-module (SoM) to be used in embedded vision and edge AI. It is essentially based on the Synaptics SL2610 SoC, which is based on the Arm Cortex-A55 architecture and clocks at up to 2 GHz. What truly sets the module apart is its inclusion of the “Google Kelvin Core” AI accelerator, capable of delivering up to 1 TOPS of NPU performance, enabling the module to process complex AI workloads directly on the edge, reducing latency and reliance on the cloud. It is not like the other SoMs like ADLINK OSM-IMX95 and Calixto i.MX93 VERSA SoM, which we have previously covered.
Memory and storage Memory and storage are configured to the requirements of embedded systems: the module includes up to 2 GB LPDDR4 memory (and up to 1 GB DDR3L in some configurations), and by default includes a 16 GB eMMC storage. To be connected, it accommodates Synaptics SYN4612 chipset, which supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6.0, which are up-to-date wireless connectivity options in IoT, industrial automation or smart-edge-based devices.
Mechanically and in terms of environmental concern, the AIOM-SL2610 is only 69.6 x 35 mm with a weight of 12 g or less, making it a very small solution. It’s built for robustness: vibration rated at 1 Grms random (5-500 Hz), shock rated at 15 G half-sine, and rated for operation from -40 °C up to +85 °C in its industrial variant. Alongside this, TechNexion promises a product longevity of over 15 years, making it suited for long-lifecycle deployments.
The software support is also good; Linux and Yocto are both officially supported, which is relevant to developers of custom embedded solutions. The board-to-board connector is a 260-pin DDR4 style SO-DIMM, which is comparably easy to integrate by the system designers.
The firm has also incorporated the Devkit-SL2610 is the development board of TechNexion which used to test and prototype the AIOM-SL2610 module, which is powered by the Synaptics SL2610 SoC. It has major interfaces like HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, 2x USB 2.0, and 40 40-pin GPIO interface to allow flexibility. In the early access stage, it allows developers to check hardware and software performance easily in advance, before it is fully deployed.
At present, the TechNexion AIOM-SL2610 module is not stored in large quantities for sale and is in either a sample or an early-access phase, where mass production will happen by Q2 2026. The official site does not show the prices publicly, and the interested parties are advised to seek the quote directly with TechNexion or via the authorised distributors. The product page will enable users to make queries or pre-orders, although real-life availability is not currently offered.
