Hardware Evaluation
Selection process
We are evaluating and working with multiple architectures and manufacturers at this moment. We are taking into account several factors including but not limited to:
- Security ( Trustzone, HAB support, Secure Memory )
- Logistics ( Market availability, Lead Time )
- Support ( Existing BSPs, Technical Support, Documentation )
- Robustness ( Temperature range, Power supply range, SBC/Carrier Format)
- Peripheral ( Ethernet connection, USB connection )
- Price
We have contacted each manufacturer, evaluated their support process, received technical documentation. In many cases, we have acquired the product to run internal tests.
As a reference we can provide a list of some of the devices we are currently working with:
