Apalis Arm Family

Apalis is a scalable System on Module (SoM) / Computer on Module (CoM) family that aims to provide high performance in a compact form factor. Apalis enables the development of advanced and robust products within a short time and with low risks. Apalis modules scale to the highest performance in the Toradex product range, and they provide the most interfaces of any product line on the 314-pin MXM connectors. Apalis modules are suited to a larger number of applications in such fields as healthcare, industrial automation, robotics, smart cities and many more. Apalis modules are supported by Toradex software offerings and the company’s rich ecosystem of other products and services.
