iWave Systems has launched a solderable i.MX 8M Plus OSM (Open standard module) In OSM, SGeT defines a module to be soldered on the carrier board as an LGA package, rather than using edge or board to board connectors. Called iW-RainboW-G40M, this module is Size-L (45 x 45mm), with provision for 662 contacts. It is “28% ...
