SOM module recommendation to replace AM3354 Hi Expert, Any recommendation for SOM module to replace TI AM3354 with following feature needed with Module TP: US$40~U$44 Featured Needed: Ethernet SGMII/RGMII SPI 24-bits LCD controller eMMC 8GB RAM 512MB Please recommend it can meet close to target price. Best rgds, KPK Re: SOM module recommendation to replace AM3354 Both TechNexion and Variscite support APAC customers. For Singapore, TechNexion may provide more convenient regional support due to its Taiwan headquarters. I recommend contacting TechNexion (
[email protected]) and Variscite (
[email protected]) directly to discuss Singapore distribution coverage, local support resources, stocking policy, and design-win support Re: SOM module recommendation to replace AM3354 hi Yiping, i also just study the Variscite DART-6UL or TechNexian PICO-IMX6ULL. Not sure if they have any local support in APAC region? Do you have any contact point to share? Re: SOM module recommendation to replace AM3354 1. NXP i.MX93 SOM (Best Long-Term Option)
The i.MX93 supports:
24-bit Parallel RGB Display
eMMC 5.1
Multiple SPI interfaces
Gigabit Ethernet with TSN
Pros
Current generation MPU
Long NXP longevity roadmap
Lower power than AM335x
Linux support active for many years
Cons
Native SGMII not directly available like Layerscape/i.MX95
SOM price typically exceeds US$45 once 512MB DDR + 8GB eMMC are included
Expected SOM Price
Approximately US$45–60 depending on volume
2. NXP i.MX6ULL SOM (Best Price Match)
The i.MX6ULL provides:
24-bit Parallel RGB LCD interface up to WXGA
eMMC support
SPI ports
512MB DDR variants readily available
Typical SOM configurations already exist with:
512MB DDR3
8GB eMMC
Dual Ethernet
Pros
Closest price to AM3354
Mature Linux BSP
Large SOM ecosystem
Easy migration from AM335x-style designs
Cons
No native SGMII
Ethernet limited to Fast Ethernet (10/100) on most modules
Expected SOM Price
US$25–40 in production volumes
For native SGMII, you'll generally move to:
i.MX94x / i.MX95 families
Layerscape LS1028A/LS1043A
These usually push SOM pricing well beyond US$44.
