Intrinsyc Introduces Open-Q 2100 SoM and Devkit Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 SoC for Wearables

Qualcomm unveiled Snapdragon Wear 2100 SoC for wearables early last year, and since then a few smartwatches powered by the processor – such as LG Watch Style and Watch Sport – have been launched, and Intrinsyc has now unveiled one of the first module based on the processor with Open-Q 2100 system-on-module, and a corresponding Nano-ITX baseboard.

Open-Q 2100 SoM specifications:

  • SoC – Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 (APQ8009W) quad core ARM Cortex A7 processor @ up to 1.094 GHz with Adreno 304 GPU
  • System Memory – 512 MB LPDDR3
  • Storage – 4GB eMMC flash
  • Connectivity – 802.11 b/g/n WiFi (WCN2320), Bluetooth 4.1 LE, Gen 8C GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) with on-board u.FL connector (WGR7640)
  • Audio – Integrated Codec/PMIC (PM8916-1) with optional support for Fluence HD, Snapdragon Voice Activation, and Snapdragon Voice+
  • 2x 100-pin board-to-board connectors with USB 2.0, I2S, GPIO, MIPI DSI up to 720p @ 60 Hz, 2-lane MIPI CSI, SDC2/microSD signals
  • Power Supply – 3.6 to 4.2V input
  • Dimensions – 31.5 x 15 mm
  • Temperature Range – -10 to +70 °C

The module runs Android 7 Nougat by default, but it can also support Android Wear.

The company also provides Open-Q 2100 SoM development board to evaluate the platform, and get started as soon as possible while you wait for your custom baseboard. The development includes the following key features:

  • Connectors for Open-Q 210 system-on-module
  • Storage – micro SD slot
  • Display – MIPI DSI connector with optional smartphone display, HDMI output
  • Camera – MIPI CSI connector for optional 720p capable camera
  • Connectivity – Ethernet port (via LAN9514); wireless connectivity (WiFi, BLE, GPS) on module
  • USB – 4x USB 2.0 host ports
  • Expansion Headers – SPI, I2S, GPIO, etc…
  • Debugging – micro USB port for debug UART
  • Power Supply – 12V/3A via DC jack, or 6-pin battery connector
  • Dimensions – Nano-ITX form factor (120×120 mm)

The module is expected to be used in connected wearables & trackers, tethered smartwatches, as well as ultra-compact embedded designs.

Open-Q 2100 SOM and Development Kit can be pre-ordered for respectively $75 and $595, with “early adopter units available to approved customers by May 31”. More information can be found on Intrynsic Open-Q2100 SoM and Devkit pages.

Is it possible to make your own design with this chip or are you stuck buying SoMs forever?
