Hello guys,
maybe some of you already know the concept of a SOM (System on a Module). Basically it's the same concept as ED tried to realize in the Pyra: creating a module which contains all the main parts of a computer. In this way all needed peripheral devices can be placed on a separate daughterboard.
As the Pyra CPU Board will be very powerful compared to other available SOM's, the idea now is to sell Pyra CPU Boards seperately, to get a bigger audience on the market. I could imagine lots of use cases. An example might be creating a relatively cheap and compact, but powerful server-cluster (like some created with raspberry pi's). Also intresting for those applications would be a SO-DIMM formfactor, but I understand that creating a new layout would end in much higher product costs, so this might be secondary.
