Intrinsyc Technologies Corporation announced the availability of the Open-Q™ 212A system on module (“SOM”) and Home Hub Development Kit. Intrinsyc’s Open-Q™ 212A SOM is a compact (50mm x 46.5mm) pre-certified, production-ready embedded computing module that is ideal for cost-sensitive home hub, home automation, and smart audio devices featuring voice control, AI, and wireless connectivity. It is powered by the Qualcomm® Home Hub 300 Platform based on the Qualcomm® APQ8009 System-on-Chip (“SoC”) and includes an advanced Qualcomm audio and voice optimization solution supporting multi-mic beamforming and noise cancellation as well as Hi-Fi stereo audio playback. The 212A SOM satisfies wireless connectivity needs of home hub/home automation devices with a high throughput, pre-certified, Wi-Fi/BT module, supporting dual-band 802.11ac 2x2 MU-MIMO as well as concurrent Bluetooth with independent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antenna ports for optimal coexistence performance. The Home Hub Dev Kit comes pre-loaded with an OpenEmbedded Yocto Linux OS, initially with support for audio and wireless connectivity features, such as Wi-Fi station and AP modes, BT speaker, BT LE, stereo speaker outputs, and the microphone array with Qualcomm voice and audio optimization for advanced beamforming and noise cancellation. Further SW updates will be coming soon to support the QCA4024 wireless expansion board, as well as other features and demo applications including – home automation gateway, voice activation, and voice services SDKs.
