System-on-Modules (SOM/CoM)

Choosing the right SOM

• Connection type: standardised (SMARC, Qseven, OSM) for second-source options – or board-to-board/LGA for the most compact designs
• Long-term availability: the first purchasing criterion for SOMs – filterable by the availability commitment of the manufacturer roadmap
• Compute & AI: processor platform, NPU class and memory configuration to match the target application
• Environment: industrial temperature range and certifications for series deployment

Developer FAQs

Standard format or board-to-board – which to choose?

Standards such as SMARC or Qseven make second-source strategies and carrier reuse easier. Board-to-board or LGA modules allow more compact, cost-optimised designs but tie you to the module family.

Where do I get the carrier board?

For evaluation, from our Carrier & Development Boards category. For production, you design your own carrier – or our development services team takes it on for you.

How is long-term availability secured?

We plan lifecycle, PCN/EOL communication and successor options with you early on – based on manufacturer roadmaps, to which we have direct access as an official distributor.
