Choose the appropriate integration depth
Use an SBC for integrated standard I/O, a System-on-Module for a custom carrier, or a COTS FPGA platform for deterministic processing and high-rate data paths.

Platform qualification:
Platform qualification must confirm processor stepping, module pinout, carrier-board interface allocation, boot chain, BSP release, high-speed signal integrity,
thermal solution, operating temperature and lifecycle before design freeze.

Platform architecture
Platform Capabilities
The available products provides several implementation paths, from integrated boards to configurable modules and FPGA platforms. The appropriate choice depends on how much custom I/O, processing flexibility and deployment control the project requires.
Start from a defined hardware baseline
Processor, memory, storage, power and high-speed interfaces are available in established board or module implementations, depending on the selected platform.
Keep custom engineering application-focused
Project-specific work can concentrate on field I/O, mechanics, thermal design and software rather than repeating every compute subsystem.
Consider deployment and lifecycle early
Platform selection can include software support, thermal requirements, mechanical constraints and component availability before the system architecture is fixed.
Embedded platform engineering
Compute modules, integrated boards and programmable processing platforms
The platform range spans Arm System-on-Modules, FPGA and SoC-FPGA modules, single-board computers, PCIe/FMC/VPX processing boards and application-ready systems.
OSM, SMARC, Qseven, SODIMM and board-to-board formats
Mechanical format does not guarantee cross-family compatibility. Pinout revision, interface allocation, power rails, memory population and thermal interface must be checked for the selected module.
Logic, transceivers, memory and modular I/O
FPGA and adaptive-SoC platforms are selected around device resources, transceiver rates, DDR bandwidth, PCIe generation, FMC/FMC+ or VPX interfaces, clocking and toolchain support.
Bootloader, BSP, drivers and update strategy
Linux, Android and RTOS availability is processor- and release-specific. Kernel, bootloader, device-tree, security and long-term maintenance requirements should be fixed with the hardware baseline.
Application areas
Applications
The available products supports products where time-to-market, reusable architecture and controlled deployment matter as much as raw processor or FPGA performance.
Industrial equipment
Standardise compute across HMI, gateway, vision and control products while adapting I/O to each machine.
Automotive and EV
Accelerate gateway, telematics, logging and in-vehicle processing development with reusable networking and software foundations.
Medical equipment
Reduce platform risk for connected instruments and imaging systems while maintaining a controlled compute and software baseline.
Machine vision and AI
Bring camera acquisition, local inference and deterministic preprocessing together on scalable embedded platforms.
Aerospace and defence
Use FPGA, VPX and rugged processing options to shorten development of high-rate sensor and mission-computing systems.
Research and instrumentation
Move new algorithms and acquisition methods onto reconfigurable hardware without designing every supporting subsystem.
