We have a growing lineup of SystemReady ES certified hardware that will make good OSS upgrades. New platforms on our LX2162A based SOM will be especially good for this application.

please make a beefier SOM that fits the MNT Reform, those would be nice to have in a laptop :)

We are talking with MNT about possibly building around the LX2162a SOM.

What's the difference? The block diagram seems very similar.

[linux4kix]

The core count and network processing is the same, but the number of SERDES lanes is half. This allowed the SOC's die size to be much smaller. You can fit 4 SOMs in the space of a single CEX7 module.

Do they like multi-"socket" settings?

[linux4kix]

There is no backplane for the CPUs no. But they support 10 and 25Gbps networking that can be used for high speed clustering.

sounds interesting, great news!
