Ryzen SoM makes a convenient and flexible building block for board designers.
For many developers, using this
SoM would be the best way to develop a custom appliance based on
AMD Ryzen Embedded 8000 and 7000 series.
AMD Ryzen SoM makes an attractive platform for that purpose for several reasons.
The SoM is far more self-contained than traditional SoMs. It has not only the essential CPU and RAM, but also NVMe, direct DC input with 12V – 19V tolerance and RTC battery. The SoM is provided in a ruggedized metal skirt that protects the SoM, provides mounting fixture for extension cards and serves as a heat-spreader for secondary heat sources. Copper heat-plate is pre-assembled on the CPU.
