AOM-5721 – Qualcomm QCS6490 AI-on-Module SMARC by Advantech

The Advantech AOM-5721 AI-on-Module represents a powerful embedded computing solution built around the Qualcomm QCS6490 or QCS5430 System-on-Chip. This SMARC 2.2 compliant module integrates up to eight Kryo 670 CPU cores running at speeds up to 2.7 GHz, combined with the Adreno 643 GPU operating at 812 MHz for demanding AI inference and graphics workloads. The module supports OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0, Vulkan 1.x, and DirectX FL 12, making it exceptionally versatile for vision processing and machine learning applications. Memory configuration includes up to 16GB of high-speed LPDDR5 at 6400MT/s with onboard storage options up to 512GB UFS or 64GB eMMC. Display capabilities are comprehensive with support for HDMI, 4-lane MIPI DSI, DisplayPort at 4K30, and eDP at 1080P60, enabling multi-display configurations for HMI and digital signage applications. The AOM-5721 provides extensive connectivity through three PCIe 3.0 lanes, USB 3.2 Gen 1, five USB 2.0 ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet via RTL8211FSI controllers, and multiple camera inputs including three 4-lane and one 2-lane MIPI CSI interfaces for machine vision applications. Industrial features include two CAN-FD interfaces for automotive and industrial automation, four UART ports, three I2C buses, and 14 GPIO pins. The Adreno VPU 633 enables hardware-accelerated video encoding and decoding up to 4K60 for H.264, H.265, and VP9 codecs with HDR10 and HDR10+ support. Security is provided through Qualcomm Trusted Execution Environment v5.3 and TPM. Operating within extended temperature ranges from minus 20 to 70 degrees Celsius and measuring just 82 x 50 mm, this module is designed for space-constrained embedded systems in industrial automation, smart retail, intelligent transportation, and edge AI deployments.
