New system on module uSomIQ gets to the production line!

The world most popular embedded platform for hobbyists and embedded software developers nowadays is BeagleBone Black. It has great support from the BeagleBoard.org community and many software fixes and features get updates almost every day. The popularity of the platform attracted professional engineers from different companies and they wanted to use this amazing evaluation board in commercial products. However this hardware open source board just can’t be used in commercial projects. Why? Because it was designed to meet low price demand from enthusiasts and hobbyists and therefore all boards are assembled from general purpose components which are not intended for heavy duty use in commercial systems. But what should do engineers who tried BeagleBone Black and enjoyed it? Mentorel introduces a BBB clone – the system on module uSomIQ AM335x specifically designed to meet the hardest requirements for industrial systems! Our module is designed using open source materials from BeagleBoard.org but keeping in mind that it will be running 24/7 50000 hours in commercial products under floating temperature conditions from -40 to +85 Celsius degrees.

For evaluation purposes you can use a devkit uSomIQ BoneCape which replicates mostly the BeagleBone expansion connectors. The hardware compatibility with BeagleBone enables to use different commercial Capes from Beaglebonecapes.org with our uSomIQ BoneCape! Isn’t cool for engineers?
