Advantech AOM-6741 AI Vision SMARC module features 100 TOPS Qualcomm IQ-9075 SoC, up to 36 GB LPDDR5
Advantech's AOM-6741 is a SMARC 2.2 Full Size module built around the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-9075 octa-core SoC, delivering up to 100 TOPS INT8 AI performance (200 TOPS sparse), up to 36 GB LPDDR5 memory, and 128 GB UFS storage. It supports up to 16 concurrent cameras via a 314-pin MXM 3.0 edge connector exposing four DisplayPort outputs, dual 2.5GbE, USB 3.2 Gen2, PCIe Gen3, and CAN-FD, targeting industrial vision intelligence applications. The module runs Ubuntu 24.04 and Advantech's Robotic Suite with ROS2 tooling, and the IQ-9075 SoC is part of Qualcomm's upstream-first Linux 2.0 platform. Documentation inconsistencies exist around clock speed (2.36 GHz vs claimed 3.2 GHz) and MIPI connector layout. It is sampling now with no pricing disclosed, alongside similar IQ-9075-based products from Firefly, Innodisk, and an upcoming Radxa VMARC-Q9075 module.
Questions this post answers
What are the specs of the Advantech AOM-6741 SMARC module?
The AOM-6741 is a SMARC 2.2 Full Size module built around the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-9075 octa-core SoC, offering up to 100 TOPS INT8 AI performance (200 TOPS sparse), up to 36 GB LPDDR5 memory at 8400 MT/s, and 128 GB UFS storage. It supports up to 16 concurrent cameras, two MIPI DSI connectors, and a 314-pin MXM 3.0 edge connector with four DisplayPort outputs, dual 2.5GbE, PCIe Gen3, and CAN-FD interfaces.

What software does the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-9075 SoC support?
The IQ-9075 SoC supports Ubuntu 24.04 along with Advantech's Robotic Suite, which bundles AI frameworks, multimedia pipelines, and ROS2-based tools. It is also part of Qualcomm's upstream-first Linux 2.0 platform, meaning mainline Linux support is expected if Qualcomm follows through on that commitment, which it has not always done in the past. Developers evaluating Qualcomm edge AI boards can follow driver and OS support updates on daily.dev.
How does the Advantech AOM-6741 compare to other Qualcomm IQ-9075 boards like the Firefly AIBOX-9075?
The AOM-6741 is a SMARC form-factor module, while the Firefly AIBOX-9075 is a complete edge AI box and the Innodisk EXEC-Q911 is a COM-HPC Mini kit, all sharing the same Dragonwing IQ-9075 SoC. Radxa is also developing a VMARC-Q9075 SMARC 2.0 module with two onboard 2.5GbE PHYs but no MIPI connectors, differentiating it from the AOM-6741.
