BEACN-3P-TORPEDO-WIRELESS
Beacon EmbeddedWorks DM3730 and AM3703 Torpedo™ + wireless system-on-module (SoM)
BEACN-3P-TORPEDO-WIRELESS
Overview
The DM3730/AM3703 Torpedo™ + Wireless System-on-Module (SoM) combines Texas Instruments DaVinci™ DM3730 and Sitara™ AM3703 processing technology with integrated Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity in an ultra-compact 15 mm x 27 mm form factor. By integrating processor, memory, power management, and wireless functionality into a single module, the Torpedo + Wireless helps engineers reduce design complexity, accelerate development, and minimize board space requirements. The DM3730 version features a 1 GHz Arm® Cortex®-A8 processor, TMS320C64x+™ DSP, and PowerVR SGX™ graphics accelerator, enabling multimedia, display, and connected edge applications that require high performance and low power consumption. Production-ready Linux®, Android™, and Windows Embedded CE BSPs help shorten development cycles, while support for display, audio, USB, serial, and expansion interfaces enables rapid integration into embedded designs. The Torpedo + Wireless is well suited for portable medical devices, industrial equipment, handheld systems, and other connected applications where size, performance, power efficiency, and reliable wireless communication are critical.
