Overview

ruggedBOARD-A5D2x is an Open Source Hardware & Software initiative to align with the fast growing Semiconductor technologies with a switch from classic to modern product development strategy & process.

The usage of System on Module over a System on Chip is the rapid way to achieve time to market, curtail development risks for product quantities ranging from few to thousands.

The Open Source IoT stack equivalent to Intel MRAA & UPM developed in C/C++ holds a tremendous opportunity to the Embedded Systems & gives programmers its ease of Python / nodeJs / Java.

Rugged Board team targets to combine the Open source (Carrier Boards) community strength with industrial grade SOM and initiated the first Open Source Hardware "Industrial Pico Computer" which is powered by phyCORE-A5D2x SOM with Microchip A5D2x Cortex-A5 Core @500 MHz.

Board features are mentioned as below:
