==Introduction==
One of the most appreciated characteristics of the Axel family is the scalability in terms of performances and feature set. This technical note illustrates a real-world example in which this scalability was heavily exploited by DAVE Embedded Systems to produce an entire family of products originated from a common hardware projectand sharing a unified software development environment. All of this allowed our customer to reduce dramatically the time-to-market and to limit the software maintenance costs.
==The hardware platform==
The following image depicts the simplified block diagram of the hardware platform.

It was designed around the system-on-module, indicated as SOM in the picture. As stated before, the range of the SOMs fitting this application is considerable. It embraces both the compact [[:Category:AXEL_ULite|AXEL ULite]] class of products and the more powerful [[:Category:AxelLite|AxelLite]] class.
Thanks to the substantial '''pinout and form factor compatibility''', the hardware design team managed to conceive a '''"one-size-fits-all" solution'''. In other words, a single carrier board able to host all the SOMs selected to implement the different products.
