It's a niche, but I can see real value in this for small runs (<10,000 units) of space-constrained designs. Using a SoM is a huge time-saver for development, but most available are either expensive and have painful and partially closed BSPs (most SoMs on the market) or are bulky and weaker (Raspberry Pi Compute Module, C.H.I.P. Pro).
In the event Neutis is at risk of folding or you want to go to larger scale production, you can put the time and effort into dropping the Allwinner SoC and SoM peripherals straight onto your design.
I have a couple of projects in mind that could use this, where I was otherwise considering the C.H.I.P. Pro or going through the effort of integrating a SoC.
- qume 9y agoMy thoughts exactly. I think many of the posts here are from people who are not designing for manufacture and are just looking at the specs like it's a small standalone computer like the rpi. It looks pretty good to me. Havent had to use those high density connectors before but assume its straight forward enough.
