LIZARD Texas Instruments AM35x CPU moduleEdit

Lizard.jpg

LIZARD is a ready-to-use CPU module family based on Texas Instruments AM35x (Sitara) ARM Cortex-A8 application processors. LIZARD is the mid-range product of DAVE Embedded Systems Esatta Line. It is designed to be easily included in customer's new and existing embedded systems thanks to the inexpensive stacking connectors and pinout compatibility with Zefeer CPU modules.

For detailed information about LIZARD, please refer to the Lizard SOM article.
