Inside the Design-In Zone, customers have access to a wide range of support. This includes the most updated documentation including design guides, application notes, detailed design techniques, tips and how-to advice, engineering drawings and more. Developers can easily download this material after registration and login. There is also a strong SOM developer knowledgebase, FAQ and Q&A area as well, all centered on the questions (and answers) developers ask when implementing a SOM solution. Also included is Advantech's IP ready database with well-tested circuit designs that customers can choose from for faster application development with reduced risk.
For customers exploring solutions, there is a Design Concept Inquiry Service to help match an application idea to a solution. When a customer submits a question or inquiry, chances are that our staff of SOM engineering professionals has seen a similar issue before or has enough experience to recommend a solution that can immediately help the customer. This knowledge sharing is a fundamental element of how the Design-In Zone adds value to SOM solution development.
