SMARC Module
The RZ/G1E SMARC Module developed by Mistral is a small form-factor; high performance module built around Renesas R8A77450 (RZ/G1E) dual 1.0GHz ARM™ Cortex-A7 Microprocessor (MPU). SMARC (Smart Mobility ARChitecture) is a versatile small form factor computer module targeting applications that require low power, low cost, and high performance. The RZ/G1E SMARC Module measures 82mm X 50mm.
Along with 3D graphics engine and video processing unit on the SoC, the RZ/G1E SMARC Module supports dual camera, dual display ports, dual Ethernet and most of the interfaces of SMARC 1.0 standard. The core CPU and support circuits, including memories, power supplies are concentrated on the module. While the application specific interfaces can be brought on the custom carrier board based on user requirement. Read More..
Drones and UAV Designs
Mistral offers bespoke design and development services for UAV/Drone Electronics for a wide range of applications. Drones have developed from just a radio-controlled aircraft into sophisticated, feature-rich systems that can perform a myriad of functions.
With a host of sensors and sophisticated architecture, drones are considered as robotic aircrafts and are being used to perform a number of missions which include surveillance, intelligence, early warning, military applications, search and rescue, law enforcement, photography & videography, gaming, communication and logistics among others. Real-time wireless HD streaming and control apps available on generic devices like tablets and mobiles, are one of the two key features that have led to the sudden spurt in drone based applications.
Mistral’s expert team of engineers have helped several customers realize their drone designs with the development of smart, compact and power efficient electronics systems.Read More..

Thermal Management for Embedded Systems (Part 1) : Blog Post
The Physics of thermal management, takes us to analytical and statistical methods where models of bodies or systems are characterized based on their material composition, their state in defined conditions inclusive of their physical characteristics, their inherent conductive or resistive (electrical) characteristics, their energy states, etc. The models created are used for analysis of the behavior of the said bodies or systems, with a definition of boundary condition of operations.
The result of such an analysis received through computer simulations, leads to a theoretical understanding of the operation of the body or system before they are taken to the drawing table and progressively to the production floor. The whole process viz., defining the boundary of operations or environmental conditions, characterization of the body or system and its behavior, mathematically modeling the phenomenon inclusive of the environmental conditions and the system characteristics, is more commonly referred to as Thermal Analysis in the embedded world.
Thermal analysis is therefore an essential exercise (if not mandatory) for the creation of predictable, reliable and successful products and systems. Read More..
