'''SolidRun''' is an Israeli company producing [[Embeddedembedded systems]] components, mainly [[Nettop|mini computer]]s, [[Single-board computer]]s and [[computer-on-module]] devices. It is specially known for the [[CuBox]] family of mini-computers, and for producing [[motherboard]]s and processing components such as the HummingBoard motherboard.
 
Situated in [[Acre, Israel]], SolidRun develops and manufactures products aimed both for the private entertainment sector, and for companies developing [[Computer processor|processor]] based products, notably components of "[[Internet of Things]]" technology systems.<ref>{{cite web|title=Company page|url=https://www.solid-run.com/about-solidrun/|website=SolidRun|date=July 2015 |access-date=7 July 2015}}</ref>
 
Within the scope of the IoT technology, SolidRun's mini computers are aimed to cover the intermediate sphere, between sensors and user devices, and between the larger network or Cloud framework. Within such a network, mini computers or [[System on module|system-on-module]] devices, act as mediators gathering and processing information from sensors or user devices and communicating with the network - this is also known as [[Edge computing]].

==History==
[[File:SolidRun-soms.jpg|280px|thumbnail|Three of SolidRun's MicroSOMs from the i.MX6, Intel Braswell & Marvell ARMADA product families.]]
SolidRun was founded in 2010 by co-founders [[Rabeeh Khoury]] (formally an engineer at [[Marvell Technology Group]]) and [[Kossay Omary]]. The goal of SolidRun has been to develop, produce and market components aimed for integration with IoT systems.
 
The company today is situated in [[Acre, Israel|Acre]] in the [[Northern District (Israel)|Northern District]] of Israel, and headed by Dr. Atai Ziv (CEO).
Line 46:
SolidRun develops all of its products using [[Open-source software]] (such as [[Linux]] and [[OpenELEC]]), identifying itself as a member of the OSS community and a promoter of Open-source software platforms.
 
The products developed by SolidRun are classed into a number of families, based upon the processor maker. Each family offers a range of mini-computers, SOM's & and networking solutions - currently divided into [[NXP Semiconductors|NXP]]'s [[I.MX#i.MX_6_series|i.MX 6]], [[I.MX#i.MX_8_series|i.MX 8]] and LX2160A processor families, [[Marvell Technology Group|Marvell]] Armada and Octeon families, and [[Texas Instruments]] [[Sitara ARM processor|Sitara family]]. Every processing family offering different advantages with different application capacities.

At {{cvt|47 × 30|mm}}, the MicroSoM is aimed for device and system developing, as an all rounded modular processing component.<ref>{{cite web|title=SOM product overview|url=http://www.solid-run.com/products/micro-som/|website=SolidRun|access-date=12 July 2015}}</ref>
 
The SOM varies between 4 models ranging in performance, especially in regard to processing. The Single-core and Dual-Light-core SOMs house a [[Vivante Corporation|Vivante]] GC880 [[GPU]], 10/100 &nbsp;Mbit/s Ethernet network connection and a 2&nbsp;Lane CSI camera interface port. The Single-core variant holds 32-bit DDR3, 512 &nbsp;MB memory, while the Dual-light variant holds 64-bit DDR3, 1&nbsp;GB memory.<br />
The Dual-core and Quad-core SOM's house a [[Vivante Corporation|Vivante]] GC2000 [[GPU]], 10/100/1000 &nbsp;Mbit/s Ethernet network connection and a 4&nbsp;Lane CSI camera interface port, they also include a built in 802.1 b/g/n wireless and a 4.0 [[Bluetooth]] port. Both variants offer 64-bit DDR3 memory at a 1066 &nbsp;Mbit/s speed, the dual-core coming with 1&nbsp;GB of memory, while the Quad-core comes with 2&nbsp;GB of memory.<ref>{{cite web|title=SOM specifications|url=http://www.solid-run.com/products/micro-som/micro-som-specifications/|website=SolidRun|access-date=13 July 2015}}</ref>
