==== SOM Thermography ====
The following image is taken in stress tests (see [[MITO 8M Mini SOM/MITO 8M Mini Hardware/Electrical Thermal and Mechanical Features/Operational characteristics#Use cases results|this section]]) conditions in order to highlight the hot spots on this board. The hottests points here are:
* The CPU
* The PMIC
* The Ethernet PHY (Iperf test was enable during this test)
Depending on your application it is may needed to dissipate heat not only from CPU but also other areas (The thermal analysis it is important in conjunction with the termperature range of each component which may be 125°C or 150°C). In general, this platform is suitable for fanless approach.
