Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number corresponds to the commercial temperature grade (0°C to 70°C). Confirm the memory configuration matches the standard 256 MB SDRAM and 512 MB NAND Flash specification. Ensure compatibility with existing Logic PD Torpedo baseboards if upgrading from previous generations.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Selection Notes

Select this module when space-constrained designs require PC-like speeds without excessive power draw. It serves as a direct upgrade path for products previously utilizing the OMAP35x Torpedo SOM due to identical footprint compatibility. Consider the industrial temperature variant (-40°C to 85°C) if operation in colder environments is required.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Part Context
