Maker projects are fun and educational, but what about those ideas that could be the next electronic must-have? How can engineers invent with an eye to commercial success?
For starters, you may want to examine the commercial hardware options of your development platform as closely as you examine the features of the board.
One of the things we like about the DragonBoard™ 410c, which features the 64-bit, quad-core A53 Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 410 processor, is that it is supported by commercial system-on-modules (SOMs) and single board computers (SBC) made by a variety of providers that have a long history working with Snapdragon processors.
Here is a highlight of hardware options to move your design from prototype to product, all available through Arrow.com:
1. eInfochips Eragon 410 SOM
This module supports low power consumption, connectivity, multimedia functionality, along with solid processing power—all in an ultra-small form factor of 35mm x 26mm. The SOM offers on-chip eMCP memory (1GB LPDDR3 + 8GB eMMC).
