Architecture & selection
Match processing, graphics, connectivity and real-time needs to power, space, environment and lifecycle constraints. Compare a custom board, compute module or SBC.
Engineering services / Embedded systems
Embedded systems.
Built around your application.
Connect the processor, software, display and I/O into a practical system. Get support selecting and integrating microcontrollers, microprocessors, single-board computers and compute modules.
From requirements to a working system.
Hardware & software integration
Define the display and touch interfaces, sensors, communications, power and carrier-board needs. Scope firmware or Linux integration and prototype bring-up around the application.
Verification & handover
Agree acceptance checks, test interfaces and operating conditions, and document the configuration. Define the source, build instructions and hardware records needed for ongoing support.
Representative platforms
Choose the platform that fits.
These families provide useful starting points. The selected device, operating system and integration scope follow your requirements.
Control & connectivity
- ST STM32 — a broad MCU family for control, sensing and embedded interfaces.
- Microchip PIC32MX — 32-bit microcontrollers for embedded control, connectivity and graphics.
- Espressif ESP32 — devices and modules for connected controls and embedded applications.
Consider timing, memory, peripherals, wireless needs and firmware support.
Linux & richer interfaces
- Texas Instruments Sitara AM62x (AM625) — application processors for Linux-based human-machine interfaces and display systems.
- NXP i.MX 8 / i.MX 9 — application processors for multimedia, displays and connected equipment.
- ST STM32MP — application processors for Linux-based systems and embedded control.
Consider the board support package, graphics, boot time, storage and update strategy.
Industrial & modular computing
- Litemax industrial SBCs — 3.5-inch boards such as AECX-ADL0 (Intel Alder Lake-N) and AECX-R2K1 (AMD Ryzen Embedded R2000), with display and expansion I/O options.
- Raspberry Pi 5 — an SBC starting point for display, interface and application development.
- Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 — a system-on-module approach for a custom carrier board.
- BeagleBone Black — a Linux development platform with expansion I/O.
Consider connectors, mounting, thermal design, supply continuity and the production path.
Explore FPD.DEV platform guides for specifications, option tables and application ideas. Each guide includes a simple way to discuss your requirements with us.
A clear path through the work.
01 / Plan
Define the application, constraints, platform options and acceptance criteria.
02 / Build
Develop the agreed prototype and connect the hardware and software.
03 / Check
Test the interfaces and system behavior against the agreed requirements.
04 / Improve & hand over
Resolve findings, document the configuration and agree the next step.
Start with what you know.
A short description of what you are building is enough. If available, include the platform, display or I/O requirements, quantity and timing. We’ll work through the rest with you.
