The video starts with a question every embedded team knows: what happens when the processor in your product goes end-of-life?
Our answer is FPSC. It is a standard footprint for soldered System on Modules, developed and built here at our site in Mainz. You will see the campus and the production line in the video.
If a Carrier Board is designed around the FPSC footprint and signals, the module can change without redesigning the whole board.
Question for the embedded engineers here: what has hurt more in a past project, a processor going end-of-life or a performance upgrade that needed a new board?
