Grinn, a full-service technology firm specializing in advanced IoT and embedded systems, has announced a strategic collaboration with MediaTek to expand its offering of AI-enabled, off-the-shelf embedded computing platforms. This partnership combines Grinn’s design and development expertise with MediaTek’s leading-edge processing technologies, resulting in more accessible, production-ready AI and IoT solutions.
The initial result of this collaboration is the launch of GenioSOM-700 and GenioSOM-510, two system-on-module (SOM) solutions built on MediaTek’s Genio 700 and Genio 510 processors. These compact modules—now the smallest available using the Genio platform—are engineered for demanding workloads, enabling real-time AI processing, high-resolution video, and immersive multimedia performance in a compact footprint.
The partnership gives Grinn privileged access to MediaTek’s product roadmap, technical support, and supply chain resources. This strengthens Grinn’s ability to deliver innovative, customized embedded computing platforms tailored to customer needs across industries such as smart home, industrial automation, and computer vision.
The Grinn GenioSOM-700 is designed for high-performance edge applications where power efficiency, real-time responsiveness, and AI acceleration are critical. Built around the MediaTek Genio 700 (MT8390) processor, it features a dual-core 2.2GHz Arm Cortex-A78 for compute-intensive tasks, six 2.0GHz Cortex-A55 cores for efficient multitasking, and an Arm Mali-G57 GPU for rich graphics rendering. The module also includes an integrated 4 TOPS Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for edge AI inference, enabling applications such as machine vision, intelligent audio, and advanced sensor fusion.
With its ultra-compact 37.0mm x 42.6mm LGA-312 form factor, the GenioSOM-700 is ideal for space-constrained designs. It supports high-speed interfaces, image signal processing, and hardware-accelerated video encoding/decoding—making it a versatile choice for next-generation smart devices.
Alongside the 700 series, Grinn has introduced the GenioSOM-510, based on the MediaTek Genio 510 platform. It offers a balanced performance profile with dual 2.2GHz Cortex-A78 and four Cortex-A55 cores, plus an integrated NPU, ensuring strong AI capability within a compact, power-efficient module.
To support rapid prototyping and system development, Grinn offers the GenioEVB, a dedicated evaluation board for the GenioSOM family. With a wide range of interfaces and headers, it provides developers with a flexible environment for integrating sensors, peripherals, and custom components. The GenioEVB simplifies system validation and helps reduce time-to-market by serving as a reference for schematic and PCB design.
Grinn is a full-cycle technology company focused on the design and development of cutting-edge embedded and IoT solutions. From concept to mass production, the company offers end-to-end support including hardware design, embedded software development, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing services. Backed by a state-of-the-art testing lab and a highly skilled engineering team, Grinn delivers robust, reliable products that meet the highest standards of performance and safety.
