The two main pieces needed to start evaluating a Thundercomm TurboX C8550 platform hardware are:

• The System on Module (SoM): The SoM supplies the computing hardware, such as the CPU cores and the GPU, as well as the hardware accelerators, the memory, and the interfaces to communicate with the system in the same printed circuit board (PCB).

• The Carrier Board: It provides the physical interfaces to use the SoM. The carrier board can be a developer kit or a custom board. The developer kit is very useful to evaluate the capabilities of the SoM in the prototyping phase of your project, and then in most cases moving to a custom carrier board that is designed with the specific requirements for your use case. The SoM sits on the carrier board.

In this section, you are going to learn about the Thundercomm TurboX C8550 and what this platform has to offer. When you finish this section you are going to have a general knowledge of the SoM key features and the carrier board available.

• The SoM Overview section summarizes the hardware capabilities of the Thundercomm TurboX C8550 SoM, its peripherals, and packaging specifications.
• The Carrier Boards section explores the supported carrier boards available for the TurboX C8550.
