TXRZ Module with Renesas RZ/G2L
TXRZ Module with Renesas RZ/G2LLow-cost, full industrial temperature, 64-bit dual-core module
TXRZ is the latest tiny 68mm x 26mm SODIMM system-on-module in the TX-Module pin-compatible family, based on the Renesas RZ/G2L processor. TXRZ features a powerful dual-core ARM Cortex-A55 processor running at up to 1200MHz. The SoM is available in two versions – with either 512MB or 1GB DDR3L – both offer a full industrial temperature specification of -40C to +85C, as well as 4GB eMMC Flash, and a dual 24-bit RGB / 4-Lane MIPI-DSI display output. There is an ARM MALI-G31 GPU for rich, touch-and-gesture GUI support as well as 1080P30 H.264 video decode and encode. Comprehensive connectivity is rounded off with dual Ethernet, dual CAN, SD/eMMC, dual USB, as well as up to 5x UARTs, 4x I2C ports and 3x SPI. There is a third MCU processor core based on an ARM Cortex-M33.
TXRZ comes with a Linux BSP with full sources and installable VM for development. In common with the rest of the pin-compatible TRITON-TX family, it requires a single 3.3 to 5.5v supply and provides an up to 300mA 3.3V power output for use on the baseboard.
The RZ/G2L-based TXRZ offers exceptional graphics and video performance, in a full temperature-range SoM, at a reasonable price, and is aimed at a broad range of industrial HMI solutions plus streaming video capture and display devices and audio systems.

With over 200 successful SoM-based designs completed, Direct Insight is the UK’s leading centre of expertise in this area. Our intimate understanding of the hardware technology and platform software, including Yocto, Debian, QNX and Windows, and associated middleware and frameworks means that we can get you to market quickly and painlessly. We do this by offering expert support, as well as a comprehensive range of services including BSP/Driver development and baseboard design. All customer baseboard designs are checked FoC by our experts.
Our Linux BSPs are internally maintained, taking advantage of (and contributing to) the latest mainline kernels, 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. For Linux, we supply a pre-configured VM SDK. QNX BSPs where available are developed in-house by Direct Insight’s engineering team
Guaranteed lifetime is a key reason to choose us – some TX-Module products have already been shipping for over 15 years. The TX8M module is guaranteed to be available, in small or large quantities until at least 2032. This is a minimum, with expected lifetimes of 15 years where possible. 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 Ka-Ro TX Modules are designed and manufactured in a high-quality 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.
Further to our 10-year longevity guarantee, additional security is provided by the pin-compatible nature of the TX-Module range, which means that suitable baseboard designs can take all the modules from this family, including those based on i.MX6, i.MX8, i.MX9, ST32MP and RZ/GL and allows older modules to be replaced by the latest designs, with new features, better price-performance, and renewed longevity.
With the increasing importance of cyber-security it is more or less essential to include secure boot, in order to meet the authentication requirements of standards such as EN18031 and the CRA. We offer the addition of secure boot to your development process (with and without encryption) as an expert service. We also offer HAB/AHAB programming during manufacture to enable customers to easily secure their device.

Main
board-7 provides a complete development environment based on TXRZ, running mainline Linux out-of-the-box. The development system consists of a baseboard which provides an unpopulated bank of 0.1″ headers for all 200 module pins (including PCIe), plus connectors for all the main module interfaces, and includes additional peripherals such as an SGTL5000 audio codec. Other connectors include USB, Ethernet, SDCard, CAN, RS-232 and RS-485. The Mainboard-7 offers an optional 640×480 capacitive touch screen, and an LVDS output to enable connection of other screen sizes. Please note that the kit uses the RGB display output – if you are thinking of using MIPI-DSI, please discuss this with us before purchase.
For production purposes, you will require a custom baseboard, and we are happy to offer baseboard design and manufacture as a service.
The TXRZ is available in the following configurations.
TXRZ/G2L/1GR/4GF/I – with 1GB RAM, 4GB eMMC Flash, -40C to +85C full industrial temp.
TXRZ/G2L/512R/4GF/I – with 512MB RAM, 4GB eMMC Flash, -40C to +85C full industrial temp.
