What is SoM?
System on Module
A system on module (SoM) packages a processor, memory, and core support circuitry as a ready-made board that drops onto a custom carrier board, speeding development and de-risking complex processor designs.
A SoM lets teams skip the hardest part of a high-speed design (routing DDR memory and the processor) and focus on their application-specific carrier board — a common path for Linux and edge-AI products.
