What's a SOM?

System-on-Modules (SOMs) are small embedded boards about the size of a credit card that include an SoC (such as a microprocessor, GPU, or FPGA), memory, power management, and other supporting circuitry.  SOMs abstract the hardware so developers can accelerate a streamlined design process at the board level instead of the chip level.
