If you consider embedding Bedrock-boards inside a fully custom enclosure, you would be using Bedrock Deck.
SolidRun recommends using Bedrock Tile which is much easier to integrate |
SX (storage & extension board) and PM (power module) boards are optional.
DCCON (DC connector) can be relocated in the enclosure.
If you consider designing a custom NIO (carrier board)for Bedrock SOM, starting from Bedrock Cartridge is the way to go.
Bedrock Cartridge provides the following:
Highly effective 1st stage thermal coupling (TIM0) to the Ryzen die to a copper heatplate.
Coupling the heatplate to a heatsink/cold-plate is easy. Coupling the die is challenging.
Provision for mounting NIO securely with accurate spacing.
Easy mounting of SOM to enclosure / heatsink / cold-plate.
Thermal coupling for SOM’s DC-to-DC converters
Mounting of NVME SSD
Not present on SOM itself
Securing and thermal coupling for SODIMMs
RTC battery compartment
Physical protection and rigidity to the SOM
Rigid chassis for the Bedrock Deck with multiple threaded mounting holes
If you decide to design directly with Bedrock SOM, it is advised to use Bedrock Cartridge as reference.
