Toradex Luna SL1680 SBC features Synaptics SL1680 SoC with 8 TOPS NPU, starts at $105. Toradex has announced the Luna SL1680, a SBC that introduces the company's new "Pro Consumer" product tier. Positioned between consumer development boards and fully industrial hardware, the platform targets applications such as smart kiosks, light industrial systems, and advanced maker projects. The Luna SL1680 is built around the Synaptics SL1680 system-on-chip, which integrates a quad-core Arm Cortex-A73 CPU running at up to 2.1 GHz. For machine learning workloads, the SoC includes a dedicated neural processing unit delivering up to 8 TOPS of dense INT8 inference performance. Memory configurations support up to 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM and up to 256 GB of onboard eMMC storage, enabling systems to operate without removable media. Synaptics SL1680 Block Diagram Connectivity includes four USB 3.x Type-A ports and a Gigabit Ethernet interface, while multimedia support covers HDMI output and input alongside MIPI DSI for display panels and dual MIPI CSI interfaces for cameras. Expansion is provided through an M.2 Key E slot exposing a PCIe interface for wireless modules or additional peripherals. The Luna SL1680 is specified for operation across a temperature range of | 25 °C to +85 °C, exceeding typical consumer board ratings while remaining below the environmental specifications of Toradex's fully industrial platforms. According to the company, this positions the board for deployment in semi-controlled environments where moderate environmental robustness is required. Toradex Product Tier Positioning Chart The Luna SL1680 builds on Toradex's strategic partnership with Synaptics, announced in October 2025, which brings the Torizon embedded Linux platform to the Synaptics Astra family of Edge AI processors. As part of this collaboration, Torizon is supported on Astra SL1680-based hardware, providing a development path from evaluation to volume production, with planned support for newer Astra devices such as the SL2610 series. Toradex Luna SL1680 Software support is provided through Toradex's Torizon platform, an embedded Linux distribution designed for long-term maintenance and secure deployment. Torizon uses container-based workflows, supports development in C, C++, Python, and Rust, and includes tooling for secure updates, vulnerability management, and device lifecycle management aligned with modern cybersecurity requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act. Preliminary specifications listed for the Toradex Luna SL1680 include: * Processor / SoC: * Synaptics SL1680 * Quad-core Arm Cortex-A73 @ up to 2.1 GHz * AI Acceleration: * 8 TOPS NPU (INT8) * Memory: * Up to 4 GB LPDDR4 (32-bit) * Storage: * Up to 256 GB onboard eMMC * Networking: * 1x Gigabit Ethernet * USB: * 4x USB 3.x Type-A * Expansion: * 1x M.2 Key E slot (PCIe) for Wi-Fi / Bluetooth * Display and Camera Interfaces: * 1x HDMI output * 1x HDMI input * 1x MIPI DSI (quad-lane) * 2x MIPI CSI * Multimedia: * Integrated ISP * Dual display controller * 2D/3D graphics acceleration * Hardware video encoder & decoder * Audio: * 2x I2S * 2x PDM * Peripheral Interfaces: * 40-pin expansion header * 1x I[2]C, 1x SPI, 1x UART * 1x PWM, 5x GPIO * 2x Analog inputs * 1x SDIO * 1x JTAG * Operating Temperature: * | 25 °C to +85 °C The Luna SL1680 is currently available through an early access program, with pricing starting at $105. Toradex also offers optional customization services for volume deployments, including changes to board layout and interface selection.

Toradex extends its successful Verdin System on Module portfolio with a new entrant powered by Texas Instruments processors. Based on the Texas Instruments (TI) AM62x Arm-based processor family, Toradex's Verdin AM62 is pin-compatible with other SoMs in the scalable Verdin product family Toradex, a leading provider of embedded systems solutions, has announced the launch of its Verdin AM62 System on Module (SoM), based on the AM623 processor from Texas Instruments. This new module focuses on ease of use, connectivity, and scalability for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Human-machine-interaction (HMI), and gateway applications. Toradex's focus on innovation, industry-leading support, and lowest lifetime product cost has long set the company apart. Its offerings often surpass basic requirements and look toward a future-proof solution for its customers. This addition of AM62x processors to the well-established Toradex Verdin SoM family proves the company's continued focus on adding value for customers and their projects. Toradex started with extensive research and input from its customers in markets such as Industrial Automation, Healthcare, Smart City, Transportation, and Test & Measurement. It showed that while the Verdin form factor provides a great fit, even more applications would benefit from a lower power and lower cost SoM, extending the pin-compatible Verdin family in the low end. When evaluating possible processors for a new Verdin SoM product, Toradex did not just consider features and price. The selection criteria also include long-term product reliability, Linux support strategy, company-wide manufacturing capabilities, and more; all to provide the lowest lifetime product cost to its customers. The product lifetime cost includes not only the cost of the SoM alone but also the time and resources required to bring a product to market and the associated maintenance cost. With new upcoming regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act, the continued maintenance of software moves from best practice to a requirement - making it all the more imperative. "We are pleased with the latest addition - the Verdin AM62 System on Module - to our successful product portfolio. We have found a great fit with Texas Instruments' processors and believe that it will fortify our objective of providing the best experience for our customers with their diverse application requirements. Toradex's focus remains on building value for our customers while maintaining ease of use and accelerating their time to market. We look forward to continuing to enhance and broaden our full-stack embedded solutions offerings." said Samuel Imgrueth, CEO of Toradex. The Verdin AM62 is available with Torizon - an easy-to-use Industrial Linux Platform that modernizes the development and deployment of Linux-based products. The combination of the Verdin AM62 with Torizon offers a reliable and secure full-stack embedded computing platform, including a maintained and tested Linux Distribution, IDE Integration, OTA Remote Updates, Device Monitoring, and Remote Access to increase the overall product lifetime value. Toradex's Verdin family of products is designed to provide scalability via software and pin-compatible modules. Other Verdin SoMs include the Verdin iMX8M Mini and the iMX8M Plus. Verdin's peripheral interfaces are optimized for modern industrial IoT and gateway applications, including Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe, CAN FD, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
