SolidRun P100 COM Express Type 6 module features LPCAMM2 memory, up to 12-core AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 SoC
We just reported that the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P100 series has been expanded with six additional SKUs, and, timed with that, SolidRun has announced its new P100 COM Express Type 6 module family. These compact (95 x 95mm) modules are among the first to support the newly released 8- to 12-core Zen 5 SKUs, with up to 50 TOPS from the NPU and 80 TOPS of total system AI. Another fairly unique feature of the new SolidRun computer-on-module is support for LPCAMM2 LPDDR5X memory. The company uses a screw-lock mechanism to deliver high-bandwidth LPDDR5X performance (up to 9600 MT/s) while maintaining the mechanical reliability required for "systems in motion," such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), heavy machinery, and rail systems. A mini-ITX development kit for the module is also available. SolidRun P100 COM Express Type 6 module SolidRun P100 COM Express Type 6 module specifications: AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P100 Series

Tablet-like, ESP32-P4-based 7, 8, and 10.1-inch HMI displays integrate Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, 5MP camera
Waveshare has recently released the ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD, a family of tablet-like, fully enclosed HMI display development boards built around the ESP32-P4 SoC. The company offers 7-inch, 8-inch, or 10.1-inch configurations, all designed for industrial HMI, smart home terminals, and edge AI applications. Since the ESP32-P4 does not include built-in wireless connectivity, Waveshare has integrated an ESP32-C6-MINI module for WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5 (LE) support. The board also leverages the ESP32-P4’s peripherals for MIPI CSI/DSI interfaces, a 5MP camera, and various I/Os, including USB 2.0 OTG and USB-to-UART Type-C ports, an SDIO 3.0 microSD card slot, dual microphones with echo cancellation, a speaker driven by an onboard audio codec, GPIO expansion headers, and optional battery support.
