Computer On Modules

What is a CoM/SoM?

CHAIRMAN

The terms “Computer-on-Module” and “System-on-Module” (referred to throughout as the “module”) are used synonymously to refer to a type of embedded single board computer which does not contain any real world interfaces, and therefore needs to be used in conjunction with a carrier board (sometime referred to as a base board).

They are generally built around microprocessors, system-on-chips or microcontrollers.

They integrate additional devices and peripherals which are needed to realise a fully functional computer, which normally includes RAM, non-volatile storage and power supplies.

They are essentially another layer of abstraction that sits above the SoC (System-onChip) concept, providing further integration in areas of hardware and software that are not application specific, but are application agnostic.
