Getting Started
Impetus SoM
Give impetus to your project
Elimo knows that when it comes to getting a project across the finish line, a system is only as good as the support it comes with.
That’s why we have packaged up all the support you need in an easy to reference form. Making hardware is hard, but we won’t let it be any harder than it needs to be!
ARM Cortex-A7 SoM in M2 Form-Factor
- M.2 form factor, high performance System-on-Module designed for quick and easy system integration
- 32-bit ARM Cortex™-A7 CPU operating at up to 1.2GHz

Mainline Linux kernel, Buildroot and Yocto Project support
- Mainline Linux kernel support since v5.11, Elimo Engineering mainlines patches
- Buildroot External Tree source and ready-to-run images
- Yocto Project BSP and distro layers, ready-to-run images
Accelerate Your Design
- Support for carrier board design, or just hire us!
- Linux-capable processor is ready for the realisation of complex user interfaces and edge computing applications.
- Designed for fast carrier bring up and minimum design risk:
- Only a single 5V supply needed
- On-module MicroSD slot
- On-module LCD and camera connectors
- External memories are optional
- Miniscule footprint and overall mated height < 4.5mm for easy mechanical fit
An evaluation platform for the Impetus SoM is available, including a carrier board with all I/O broken out, and 5 Inch touch display – together known as the Elimo Initium Platform.

Software
Elimo supports the two most common systems for building Linux images for embedded systems: Buildroot and Yocto.
Buildroot is generally considered easy to use, while Yocto is extremely flexible but has a steeper learning curve.
