Custom board for running ML models

@kowshik1729 Keep digging untill you find the gold. All the best!
-
@kksjunior Just a small naughty thought ....Is it possible to upgrade the RAM on those RPi modules? I mean if the modules has pin to pin compatibility then can I consider upgrading them? Or will I be having some limitations from the Broadcom SoC they have on board?
-
@kowshik1729 Haha, Nothing is impossible... Let's say if you get a pin compatible DRAM IC complying to BroadCom SoCs requirement without any limitations to the firmware running upon it you may be able to upgrade it. Provided that you didn't destroy the board while tinkering with it. The effort to result ratio will never match.
That's the reason why we get a wide variety of options from manufacturers like Toradex. All the Toradex SoMs belonging to the same device family are pin compatible. You can always upgrade or downgrade your computational module without disturbing the rest of your design! -
Woow, that's awesome. Toradex SoM's looks like beast. WIll surely look into those...!! Thanks a lot again bro..!

@kowshik1729 if you are more into ML take a look at the Jetson nano module, it's come with 4GB and 2GM Ram with 128-core NVIDIA Maxwell GPU and Quad-core ARM A57 CPU

@salmanfaris Oh hey woow...this is what I've been searching for. I have contacted Nvidia forums asking for the design files of this module. But those people gave me the design files of the Carrier board. What a waste of time. This is awesome...!! Can I get the design files of this SOM? Not to replicate but just for my reference, practicing, and understanding.

@salmanfaris Actually the schematics files you've mentioned are the same files which I've got from them. They are carrier board design files.
-
@kowshik1729 Carrier board schematics for SoMs will be always available as they need to be modified as per customer application, however SoM design files are hard to get unless the H/W design is truly open-source.
-
@kowshik1729 I think that might not get since the platform is not opensource! but they provided everything you need to develop a system with that.
