Carrier Board Design Training

Topics

  • Introduction – computer-on-modules: A very good compromise for industrial devices
  • Standardized CoMs: SMARC, Qseven, COM Express, COM-HPC, OSM
  • Starting a project: documentation, specifications, support
  • Power design
  • Layout rules: first steps, approach depending on interface type
  • Interfaces: differences, schematics and layout rules
  • PCI Express (PCIe): best practice
  • Interfaces for displays
  • Thermal and mechanical concepts
  • Troubleshooting/error handling

The following questions will be covered

  • Which options for developing an embedded device exist?
  • Which criteria are used to select the right platform?
  • If a decision is made to implement a computer-on-module, how can the necessary documentation be obtained?
  • How can a carrier board be developed based on the documentation?
  • Which points should be considered when designing a carrier board?
