miriac® MPX-S32Z2 system-on-module
8 ARM Cortex-R52 Cores with Lockstep support
Designed in Germany by our partner MicroSys, the miriac MPX-S32Z2 module is a safe and secure solution for high integrity applications including real-time scenarios with functional safety certification requirements, based on NXP’s S32Z2 processor, which offers:
- 8 ARM Cortex-R52 cores which can operate in flexible configurations including lockstep pairs
- A 25 GFLOPS DSP/ML processor
- Comprehensive connectivity including 16x CAN , FlexRay, LIN, SPI, dual Ethernet with TSN, Zipwire, and Aurora
- Hardware Security Engine for secure boot and accelerated security services
The miriac MPX-S32Z2 SoM allows OEMs to integrate the processor in low or medium volume, or NPI applications, bypassing the significant time and cost penalty associated with SoC integration, by providing ready-made hardware with associated BSPs, initially for FreeRTOS and Zephyr. A simple customer baseboard – developed by the customer or by us – is all that is required to complete the project. For highly network-intensive applications such as software-defined vehicle zonal processing, Layerscape LS and LX modules can expand networking capacity.
miriac MPX-S32Z2 is a 314 pin SODIMM SoM, measuring 82mm x 50mm. 2GB of LPDDR4 RAM is complemented by up to 512MB of QSPI Flash and SD Card. The module operates from a single 9-30v supply and is available in both commercial and full industrial (-40C to +85C) spec.
This product will become available in Q1 2025, when this page will be updated with details of development kits

Guaranteed lifetime is a key reason to choose us – all MicroSys modules are guaranteed to be available for 15 years from launch. This is a minimum, with lifetimes expected to be expanded in line with NXP longevity policies. Direct Insight brought the first system-on-module to market in 1999, and has a unique track-record in maintaining partnership with our customers for the long-term, supporting you throughout the product life-cycle.
Because Miriac modules are manufactured in a high-quality small-batch production facility within the EU, there are never problems with manufacturing standards or with supply. If you order 100 modules and we don’t have them in stock, we will make them. Often, cheap modules are produced in large batches by volume-oriented contract manufacturers in the Far East, and once they are gone, they are gone.
Linux and QNX BSPs are developed within a small network of European specialists, including Direct Insight, They are production-ready and are designed so that you can use them without further development or modification. One of the key advantages of the system-on-module approach is rapid time-to-market, and requires a reliable, production-ready BSP, and a ready-to-roll compatible tools setup.
All Miriac modules are designed to be pin-compatible within their specific range, so you can change up or down to a different module in the same family.
Striving for the best technical support provision to our customers is what makes Direct Insight stand out. Using a system-on-module is all about achieving a quicker, smoother route to project completion. We have supported our customers in many hundreds of system-on-module projects over the last 19 years, and are uniquely placed to assist you.
NXP processors offer secure boot, which potentially allows the user to secure the device against code modification, while preserving the ability to update. This is achieved by programming public keys into the device, against which the private-key signed image and data are validated. We offer secure boot programming during manufacture to enable customers to easily secure their device.
