System on Module (SOM) Development Kits
SOM Development Kits provide a complete platform for rapid prototyping and development using pre-built System on Modules. These kits typically include:
- System on Module (SOM): Contains core components (MPU, memory, power management).
- Carrier Board: Breaks out interfaces (USB, Ethernet, GPIO, etc.) for easy access.
- Power Supply: Regulated input for stable operation.
- Debug Interface: JTAG/SWD, serial console for firmware development.
- Software Support: BSP, Linux/RTOS, SDKs, and tools.
Popular SOM platforms: NVIDIA Jetson, Toradex Colibri, Variscite DART, Siemens SIMATIC, Raspberry Pi Compute Module.
Ideal for embedded vision, industrial IoT, robotics, and edge computing applications.
