Solution Overview

The Grinn AstraSOM-1680, powered by the Synaptics Astra SL1680 and running Avocado OS, delivers a production-grade edge AI platform purpose-built for smart camera and computer vision deployments. With 7.9 TOPS of NPU performance, dual MIPI CSI camera interfaces, and HDMI 2.1 input in a compact 37×42.6mm LGA footprint, the AstraSOM-1680 provides the compute density needed for real-time vision workloads at the edge. Avocado OS eliminates the 18+ months of custom Linux infrastructure work that typically stands between a working prototype and a shippable product. Application engineers can begin iterating on vision models from day one with a validated BSP, atomic OTA updates, and CRA-compliant CVE tracking built in. Together, Grinn and Peridio provide a complete, programmable foundation for industrial-grade vision systems that can move seamlessly from lab to volume production.

Production Use Cases

Smart Camera Deployments

Smart Camera Deployments

Deploy 7.9 TOPS of NPU performance for real-time object detection, classification, and tracking in compact smart camera form factors. Dual MIPI CSI inputs enable stereo vision or simultaneous visible/IR capture for industrial inspection and security applications.

Off-Grid Edge AI Vision

Off-Grid Edge AI Vision

Ultra-low-power standby architecture with sensor-based wake enables battery and solar-powered vision applications in remote locations. Process vision workloads on-device without continuous connectivity, uploading results when network access is available.

Ruggedized Industrial Vision

Ruggedized Industrial Vision

Grinn's validated LGA196 module design with Avocado OS LTS support enables customers to move from prototype to volume production in quarters, not years. Compact form factor fits into IP-rated enclosures for harsh environment deployment.

From Challenge to Solution

Transform your deployment with production-ready infrastructure

The Challenge

18+ months building custom Linux infrastructure before shipping a single unit
Manual firmware updates that don't scale across deployed camera fleets
No CVE tracking or audit trail for EU Cyber Resilience Act compliance
Complex vision pipeline integration without version control or rollback
Limited remote diagnostics when deployed vision systems need attention

The Solution

Production-ready in weeks with a pre-validated BSP for Synaptics Astra SL1680
Atomic OTA updates for models, firmware, and system software with automatic rollback
CRA-compliant CVE tracking and security patching from day one
Reproducible, immutable Linux environments that eliminate configuration drift
Enterprise remote diagnostics with secure tunnel access to deployed devices

Why Choose Peridio

Production-Ready from Day One

Avocado OS provides a pre-validated, hardened Linux foundation with the Synaptics Astra SL1680 BSP fully integrated. No prototype-to-production gap — start building your application, not your infrastructure.

Atomic OTA Updates

Zero-downtime firmware, model, and application deployment with automatic rollback on failure. Version control and staged rollouts for continuous improvement across your fleet.

CRA-Compliant Security

Secure boot, CVE tracking, and audit-ready processes built into the platform. Meet EU Cyber Resilience Act requirements without years of custom security infrastructure.

Vision Fleet Management

Deploy and manage hundreds of AstraSOM-1680-based cameras across sites. Device-specific configurations with centralized policy enforcement and remote diagnostics.

Cross-Platform Portability

Develop on AstraSOM-1680, deploy across Avocado OS-supported platforms. Unified toolchain prevents vendor lock-in and reduces engineering overhead as you expand your product line.

Long-Term Support

Enterprise LTS ensures your production Linux foundation stays maintained, patched, and secure. Focus on your application roadmap while Peridio handles the platform.
