FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which SoM platforms do you work with?
We select SoMs from Rockchip, NXP, Qualcomm, NVIDIA Jetson and others by application, performance, power consumption and supply lifetime, and validate the choice in a PoC.
Can you take an edge AI device from prototype to mass production?
Yes. We cover carrier board and hardware design, BSPs, drivers and AI inference, prototyping, transfer to mass production and programming / inspection processes, with long-term supply through our trading arm.
Can we talk to you before our requirements are fixed?
Yes. You can contact us before requirements are fixed; we help define them through platform selection and a PoC.
