'''SolidRun''' is an [[Israel]]i company producing [[Embedded systems]] components, mainly [[Nettop|mini computer]]s, [[Single-board computer]]s and [[computer-on-module]] devices. It is specially known for theirthe [[CuBox]] family of mini-computers (said to be the world's smallest desktop computer at the time of its launch), 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|accessdate=7 July 2015}}</ref>

==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]], today chairman and [[Chief technology officer|CTO]] respectively. 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 threea number of families, based upon the processor maker. Each family offers roughly the samea range of mini-computers, SOM's & COM'sand networking solutions - currently divided into [[NXP Semiconductors|NXP]]'s i.MX iMX-6, i.MX 8 and LX2160A processor families, [[Marvell Technology Group|Marvell]] Armada &and [[Intel]]Octeon families, and [[BraswellTexas (SOC)|BraswellInstruments]] familiesSitara family. Every processing family offering different advantages with different application capacities.

===CuBox-i & CuBoxTVCuBox-M===
{{see also|CuBox}}
Announced in December 2011, CuBox and CuBox-i are a series of fanless [[nettop]]-class mini computers, all cube shaped and approximate 2 × 2 × 2 inches in size, weighing around 91&nbsp;g (3.2&nbsp;oz).<ref>http://www.cnx-software.com/2013/09/05/solidrun-announces-cubox-i-platform-with-freescale-i-mx6-for-as-low-as-45/ SolidRun Announces Cubox-i Platform with Freescale i.MX6 for as low as $ 45</ref>
 
The first generation CuBox iswas a low-power [[ARM architecture]] [[Central processing unit|CPU]] based computer, using the Marvell Armada 510 (88AP510) SoC with an ARM v6/v7-compliant superscalar processor core, [[Vivante]] GC600 [[OpenGL]] 3.0 and [[OpenGL ES]] 2.0 capable 2D/3D [[graphics processing unit]], Marvell vMeta HD Video Decoder hardware engine, and [[ARM architecture#Security extensions (TrustZone)|TrustZone]] security extensions, Cryptographic Engines and Security Accelerator (CESA) co-processor.
 
In November 2013, SolidRun released a family of CuBox-i computers initially named CuBox-i1, i2, i2eX, and i4Pro, containing a range of different [[I.MX#i.MX6x series|i.MX6]] processors by [[Freescale Semiconductor]].<ref name=cubox-i-hardware>{{cite web |url=http://www.solid-run.com/products/cubox-i-mini-computer/cubox-i-specifications/ |title=CuBox-i specifications |accessdate=7 July 2015}}</ref>

===i.MX6MX 6 SOM===
 
[[File:Imx6-som.jpg|250px|thumb|The i.MX6-based System-on-Module.]]
A compact system-on-module ARM based processing board, with a [[Freescale i.MX]] 6 system-on-chip & networking, power management and storage capabilities. At 47 × 30 [[Milimetre|mm]] big, 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=SoildRun|accessdate=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 Mbit/s Ethernet network connection and a 2&nbsp;Lane CSI camera interface port. The Single-core variant holds 32-bit DDR3, 512 MB memory, while the Dual-light variant holds 64-bit DDR3, 1&nbsp;GB memory.<br />
