| Using a carrier board is a benefit in many cases, as it can implement special I/O interfaces, memory devices, connectors or form factors. Separating the design of the carrier board and COM makes design concepts more modular, if needed. A carrier tailored to a special application may involve high design overhead by itself. If the actual processor and main I/O controllers are located on a COM, it is much easier, for example, to upgrade a CPU component to the next generation, without having to redesign a very specialized carrier as well. This can save costs and shorten development times. On the other hand, this only works if the board-to-board connection between the COM and its carrier remains compatible between upgrades. | Using a carrier board is a benefit in many cases, as it can implement special I/O interfaces, memory devices, connectors or form factors.

| - | ===== SomIQ modules ===== | + | ===== uSomIQ ===== |
| - | A new family of System on Module is based on the recent Texas Instruments series of Cortex-A8 processors with DSS (display sub-system). This modules comprise Sitara and DaVinci processors AM35xx, AM37xx and DM37xx. Modules are highly integrated and power efficient due to using intelligent PMICs (power management controller). | + | Compact and cost-effective System on Module based on very popular processor Texas Instruments Sitara AM335x. The module utilizes high speed DDR3 memory and NAND flash for OS and applications storage. uSomIQ is connected to a baseboard by two high-speed mezzanine connectors FCI MezzoStak, that are very reliable and cheap. |
