SoM & SoC Migration (EOL Replacement)

Move to a new system-on-module or SoC because of cost, end-of-life or performance, with the software coming along.

The challenge

The problem

SoM changes look like a hardware swap but are mostly software work: BSP, drivers, boot, update compatibility and requalification.

End-of-life module

The current SoM is being discontinued or becoming too expensive.

Software is the hard part

BSP, drivers and update compatibility take most of the effort.

Two hardware generations in the field

Old and new units need a common software and update path.

What we do

Migration plan, ported software and validation report.

Target SoM selection

Carrier board change assessment

BSP and driver porting

Update path from old to new hardware

Validation and requalification
