Andromeda Reference Platform

Andromeda is Bill of Material optimised reference platform combining various ready to use video and imaging product development components aimed to help in accelerating customer's product development process. The reference platform facilitates customer's product team to concentrate their effort in designing and developing innovative end application leveraging existing platform component as-is.

Andromeda comprises of Texas Instruments' latest processor families based System on Module (SOM)*, common carrier card, and add-on video module. The high performance, low cost Andromeda hardware platform is combined with various software components. The software includes BSP, field proven libraries and frameworks, performance and size optimized Linux OS & drivers, and sample applications.

We also provide end-to-end product development and enhancement services on Andromeda reference platform designed to reduce hardware complexity and increase system customization facility as required by end application.
