applications. The AM3517 includes an SGX530
graphics accelerator and multiple communication
ports, including Bluetooth, wireless 802.11b/g/n,
and wired 10/100 Ethernet. For commercial
signage, medical imaging, avionics, and industrial
displays, the AM3517 SOM-M2 allows for powerful
versatility, long-life, and greener products.

AM3517
The AM3517 System on Module (SOM) is a compact, product-
ready pre-certified hardware and software solution that fast
forwards embedded designs while reducing risk and controlling
cost.
Based on Texas Instruments’ new Sitara AM3517 microprocessor
and designed in the SOM-M2 form factor, the AM3517 module
offers essential features for handheld and embedded networking
applications. The AM3517 SOM-M2 features the superset AM3517
processor, but also supports the AM3505 processor.
The standard SOM-M2 form factor allows developers to reuse
existing baseboard designs when upgrading to new AM processors,
which extends roadmap possibilities for their end-product.
Two Zoom™ Development Kit options allow developers to choose
the platform best suited to their application needs. By starting with
the corresponding Zoom Development Kit, engineers can write
application software on the same hardware that will be used in their
final product.
The compact size of the AM3517 SOM-M2 is ideal for medical
patient monitoring wearables and other portable instrumentation
