MXT SoM + Carrier for Renesas RZ/N2L – Industrial Ethernet & Networking Platform
System-on-Module (SoM) paired with Carrier Board OEM-ready Solution for Industrial Networking
The MXT SoM + Carrier for RZ/N2L is a high-performance, integrated module + carrier platform designed specifically for demanding industrial networking, Ethernet switch, gateway and IIoT applications. At its heart lies the Renesas RZ/N2L MPU, purpose-built for industrial Ethernet, TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) and real-time communication. MXT’s solution combines this with a thoroughly engineered carrier board, delivering full system readiness, reduced design risk and accelerated time-to-market for OEMs targeting factory automation, smart infrastructure and edge-networking solutions.
Key Highlights
Powered by the RZ/N2L MPU featuring an Arm® Cortex®-R52 core (up to 400 MHz) and large on-chip SRAM (1.5 MB ECC ) for reliable real-time network packet processing.
Integrated TSN-compliant 2-port Gigabit Ethernet switch supporting industrial Ethernet standards like EtherCAT®, PROFINET RT/IRT, EtherNet/IP™ and OPC UA—ideal for high-precision synchronized networking.
Dedicated carrier board includes multiple PHYs, rugged connectors, isolated power rails, industrial I/O (CAN, RS-485, DI/DO), and a streamlined power tree ready for 24 V environments.
Modular SoM + carrier approach from MXT significantly simplifies integration: you receive a proven base platform, enabling focus on application development rather than low-level hardware.
Full software stack and driver support: Linux/Yocto or real-time OS support, industrial networking stacks, TSN libraries, as well as long-term firmware updates and MXT design-in services.
Industrial-grade reliability: designed for extended-temperature operation (-40 °C to +125 °C), long lifecycle, component longevity and full compliance with CE, RoHS, REACH standards.
Applications
- Industrial Ethernet switches, network bridges and gateways for smart factories, machine tools and process automation
- TSN / IIoT edge-nodes combining high-speed networking, fieldbus conversion and real-time control
- Remote I/O modules, sensor hubs and distributed control units requiring multi-protocol support and synchronized networks
- Building automation, infrastructure control systems and energy management nodes with demanding networking and connectivity requirements
Key Highlights
MXT provides a comprehensive Board Support Package and SDK specifically tailored for the RZ/N2L platform. This includes drivers for Ethernet/TSN, fieldbus stacks, real-time packet processing, and industrial I/O interfaces. Together with MXT’s support for ongoing firmware maintenance, security patching and lifecycle management, this delivers a production-ready foundation for high-reliability deployments.
The SoM + Carrier solution offers flexibility: choose memory/storage variants, customize carrier I/O (additional CAN/RS-485 ports, isolated power zones, different connectors), modify mechanical layout and integrate bespoke firmware. MXT’s engineering team will assist from prototype through production, covering carrier board design-in, firmware optimization, system validation and manufacturing readiness.
Designed for demanding industrial environments: CE marked, RoHS certified, built for continuous 24/7 operation, and using components selected for long availability and service life. The platform supports extended thermal ranges and is optimized for network-critical systems with high reliability requirements.
