SoM (System on Module)
The modular hardware platform for embedded systems & IoT.
A System on Module (SoM) is the core of modern embedded systems. It is a compact, interchangeable hardware platform that combines all essential computer components – in a space-saving and powerful format.
A SoM combines the most important building blocks of a computer system in one module:
- Processor / SoC (System on Chip) with CPU and GPU
- RAM (Random Access Memory)
- Non-volatile memory (Flash / eMMC)
- Peripheral interfaces such as USB, PCIe, HDMI, display connectors, wireless modules
- often including integrated graphics, memory controllers, and security functions
- Bootloader and driver support
Design-in
Centralized access for developers.
A SoM provides developers with all central hardware components in a compact form, thereby significantly simplifying the development and integration of their own devices or applications. Our SoM modules are powerful, scalable, and energy-efficient – ideal for IoT, embedded systems, and other demanding applications.
Product Selection
Features
Typical SoM Features.
- Compact design: ideal for space-critical applications
- High integration: CPU, RAM, Flash, power management, and often wireless functions (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE, etc.)
- Scalable performance: from power-saving microcontrollers to powerful ARM or x86 processors
- Long-term availability: important for industrial applications with long product lifecycles
- Operating system support: mostly Linux, often also Android or RTOS, depending on the platform
- Developer-friendly: broad support through Software Development Kits (SDKs), Dev Boards, tools, and community
- Reliability & Robustness: industrial-grade variants with extended temperature range and certified EMC
- Fast time-to-market: as hardware designs are greatly simplified and development time is reduced
