When choosing a SoM for your embedded project, consider the following key factors:

1. Processor Architecture

Choose between ARM Cortex-A series, x86, or RISC-V depending on performance needs, power consumption, and software ecosystem.

Example: Rockchip RK3568 (Quad-core Cortex-A55) for mid-to-high performance Android/Linux applications.

2. Operating System Support

Verify the SoM supports the OS you need—such as Android, Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Buildroot), or even Windows.

Portworld's SoMs support Android 11, Ubuntu, and Debian with BSP and SDK tools.

3. RAM & Storage

Select memory size based on your application:

• 1GB–2GB RAM for light applications

• 4GB+ RAM for media-rich, multitasking systems
  Also consider onboard storage (8GB, 16GB, 32GB eMMC, etc.) or external flash support.
