Powerful SoC

At the heart of Obsidian: Texas Instruments AM67A.

Combining high-performance CPU cores, a dedicated AI accelerator, and an advanced vision pipeline on a single chip, the AM67A is engineered to meet the demands of robotics, industrial automation, and defense applications.

The AM67A is based on Texas Instruments' Jacinto 7 architecture, developed for industrial and automotive markets. With long-term production guarantees and a comprehensive software ecosystem, it provides a reliable foundation for enterprise-grade projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers.

What does Obsidian offer vs. Raspberry Pi 5?

4 TOPS dedicated AI accelerator, 7th-gen TI ISP, built-in IMU/barometer/humidity sensors, 32 GB on-board eMMC and M.2 NVMe expansion. The 40-pin GPIO is RPi-compatible, RPi HATs work directly.

Is it an alternative to Nvidia Jetson Nano/Orin?

Yes — positioned as a Jetson alternative with open-source BSP, ROS2 compatibility, and long-term supply assurance. Uses TI's C7x DSP + MMA accelerator instead of CUDA.

Is the software really open source?

The Linux BSP, drivers, developer tools, and sample applications are under open-source licenses. The only exception is the MMA unit on the TI AM67A, which by TI's licensing terms operates only with TI-provided software.

What kind of support do I get for mass production?

For enterprise customers we offer long-term supply assurance, production-grade prototyping, and dedicated support packages. Get in touch — our sales team will build a scaling plan for your project.
