Lecture description
This 75-minute workshop provides a practical introduction to SMARC carrier board development from a hardware designer’s perspective. Rather than focusing on interface specifications and signal definitions, the workshop highlights the design decisions that most frequently lead to project delays, redesigns, and bring-up challenges.
Using real-world examples, attendees will learn how to correctly interpret SMARC documentation, avoid common power-management mistakes, manage interface multiplexing, plan for future module migrations, and perform effective design reviews before PCB release.
The workshop is intended for hardware developers, system architects, and project engineers who are planning to create or review SMARC carrier board designs.
Key Takeaways:
- Understanding the responsibilities of the module and carrier board
- Avoiding common power and boot-related design issues
- Correctly selecting and implementing SMARC interfaces
- Reviewing layouts for high-risk design mistakes
- Designing carrier boards for future scalability and module migration
