Last week, we wrote about the Synaptics SL2610 Edge AI SoC family integrating Google’s open-source Coral NPU, and the first system-on-modules have already been announced, courtesy of TechNexion.
The AIOM-SL2610 is a 260-pin SO-DIMM CPU module with a Realtek RTL8211F Gigabit Ethernet transceiver, a WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 6.0 module, and an on-module JTAG debug interface, while the OSM-SL260 is a smaller, lighter, solder-down module compliant with the OSM Size S specification. Both come with up to 2GB LPDDR4 memory, 64GB eMMC flash, and Arm PSA Level 2 or 3 security.

The module is supported by a Yocto Linux BSP and Debian. The company also designed the Devkit-SL2610 evaluation board with an HDMI port, a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port, two USB 2.0 ports, a 40-pin GPIO header, and more. It might be easier to source than the “early access” Astra Machina SL2610 Dev Kit, provided it’s available now.
The company has not provided availability and pricing information for the module and development kit. We do know that 15+ year longevity will be offered once the module is launched. For reference, while samples of the SL2610 are available now, mass production is only scheduled for Q2 2026. More details may be found on the product page.

There’s no devkit for the OSM Size-S module, and engineers would just use the Devkit-SL2610 for evaluation and early software development. Software support is the same with Yocto and Debian. TechNexion did not mention anything about 15+ years longevity for that module, but I don’t see why it would be different from the SO-DIMM module.
