Explore System-in-Package (SiP) technology and its impact on building custom Linux computers in this informative conference talk. Learn how SiP simplifies hardware development, reduces software debug time, and eliminates the need for customized boot configurations. Discover how this technology integrates processors, memory, and power into a single package, lowering hardware and software complexity while accelerating time to production. Gain insights from Erik Welsh of Octavo Systems and Jason Kridner of BeagleBoard.org as they demonstrate how SiP makes Linux PC construction accessible to a broader range of embedded systems designers. Delve into topics such as singleboard computer revolution, hardware development decisions, prototyping platforms, minimum requirements, and the OSD3358 SiP. Explore practical applications like the PocketBeagle and understand the advantages of SiP over traditional SOCs. Perfect for both novices and experienced hardware developers interested in creating custom Linux-based systems for IoT and other applications. Read more
