SOMs
Emcraft develops production-ready System-On-Modules (SOMs) using leading-edge Cortex-M microcontrollers and Cortex-A microprocessors. Our modules are the solution to your high-reliability, low-power and long product life-cycle requirements.
All our modules come with a Starter Kit as well as production-ready software developed and maintained by Emcraft's Linux
and RTOS experts.
The following System-On-Modules are available:
uClinux BSPs
Emcraft develops Linux (uClinux) BSPs (Board Support Packages) and software distribution for select third-party development and evaluation boards.
These BSPs provide an easy and cost-efficient way to evaluate uClinux on higher-end Cortex-M3/M4/M7 microcontrollers.
The following BSPs are available:
Zephyr BSPs
Emcraft supports Zephyr BSPs for various NXP microcontrollers. The BSPs target the NXP reference boards. Emcraft provides a sample Zephyr demo application, demonstrating use of the Zephyr BSP. The demo can be used as a starting point in custom Zephyr development. Relevant user documentation is available, explaining how to build and then run the demo on the NXP eval boards.
The Zephyr BSPs provided by Emcraft are ready to be customized and enhanced for custom hardware and/or custom software requirements. Emcraft's Software Consulting Team is available to assist with porting and enhancing Zephyr in Customer's project.
The following Zephyr BSPs are available:
