Configuration stage (implementation stage)

SOM implementation progresses in the order “module alone → mounted on a carrier board → enclosed”. The position of this product is shown below.

STEP 1
SOM only
System on Module
A core module that integrates the SoC, memory, and power supply. Used mounted on a carrier board.

→
STEP 2
SOM + carrier board
Carrier / SBC / Evaluation board
A working board that carries the SOM and brings out external I/O (Ethernet, USB, video, power, etc.). For evaluation and integration.
→
STEP 3
SOM + carrier board + enclosure
Box PC / AI BOX / Edge server
Finished units with the board housed in an enclosure, designed for heat dissipation, dust protection, and installation. They can be installed and put into mass production as-is.
This product is STEP 1 (SOM only). It can be mounted on a carrier board for STEP 2 and housed in an enclosure for STEP 3. Positive ONE can support you end to end, including carrier board design and enclosure integration (contract development).
