How it works
This tool uses a weighted scoring system based on common industry trade-offs between SOMs and SBCs:
- SOM advantages: High customization, volume economics, long lifecycle support, BSP control
- SBC advantages: Lower NRE, faster time-to-market, no carrier board risk, simpler integration
Each factor is weighted based on how strongly it influences the decision. The final score indicates which approach best aligns with your project constraints.
This is a guidance tool. Always validate with vendor consultation and prototyping.
