It all began with an inquiry about our Beaglecore™ BCM1.STR, which finally ended up in a new IoT solution by us.

But one by one...

In search of a scalable solution we got a request of our Beaglecore™ BCM1.STR a while ago to evaluate the open source possibilities of this platform in the software section.

It quickly became obvious that the existing AM335x Cortex-A8 "Sitara" met all of our customer's requirements, so that further discussions regarding the final project plan followed.

After further joint assessments of the customer requirements, the specifications of the integrated system solutions were finalized.

The outcome is a system solution that was completely based on the requirements of our customer and now serves as a template for further exciting Internet of Things projects.
