Variscite, a leading global System on Module (SoM) designer, developer and manufacturer, will demonstrate a new family of SoMs conforming to the Smart Mobility Architecture (SMARC) interface standard at Embedded World 2026, held March 10-12 in Nuremberg, Germany. The demonstrations will include the first public showing of the VAR-SMARC-MX8M-PLUS, based on NXP’s i.MX 8M Plus processor. Variscite will exhibit in booth 4A-342 at the Exhibition Centre.
SMARC targets applications constrained by size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C), such as industrial IoT, point of sale, medical devices, and other low-power mobile platforms. Variscite’s SMARC family integrates a unique on-module TPM security chip, meeting compliance requirements for the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and North America’s FIPS 140-3 security standard for sensitive data and tamper-resistance. Developers adopting the SMARC standard will find the same high quality, reliability, scalability, and longevity guarantees that define Variscite’s full portfolio, with comprehensive sales and technical support in multiple languages.
Where Variscite’s SMARC offering stands apart most sharply is supply chain reliability. In a volatile semiconductor market still dealing with component shortages and unpredictable long lead times, Variscite maintains a stable supply of its own SoM solutions. Based on its internal production lines and strong supply chain management, Variscite commits to short lead times, long-term longevity, and full SoM customization optimized to each customer’s cost and performance requirements. Alongside the highest quality embedded hardware solutions, Variscite offers complete Board Support Packages and direct technical support for all major operating systems – Yocto, Debian, Android, FreeRTOS, and Zephyr – at no additional charge.
“VAR-SMARC-MX8M-PLUS brings Variscite’s proven supply reliability and industry-leading support to its SMARC customers on a platform that delivers integrated AI processing capabilities, advanced connectivity, and built-in security compliance. We look forward to showing it at Embedded World,” said Ofer Austerlitz, VP of Business Development and Sales at Variscite.
