System-in-Package Technology: Making it Easier to Build Your Own Linux Computer
summary
System-in-package (OSD3358) combines an AM3358 processor, DDR, PMIC and passives into one substrate so a PocketBeagle becomes a full Linux computer with far fewer board parts. Board designers reduce to ~30 solder connections to get a running board, use a hand-solderable 1.27 mm BGA (one user hand-assembled five working units), and ship four-layer PCB designs that can be single-sided. Bring-up drops from ~3 days to a couple hours, boots over USB to a kernel, and still needs device-tree tweaks for final I/O.
