OSD3358-512M-ISM

OSD3358-512M-ISM is a TI Sitara AM335x-based system-on-module (SOM) intended for rapid embedded Linux/Android development. It integrates the AM3358 CPU with 512 MB of RAM on a compact module that plugs into a carrier board, rather than being a standalone SBC.
Key points:
- Purpose: industrial/embedded deployments (robotics, automation, HMI, etc.)
- CPU/Memory: AM3358 Cortex-A8 core; 512 MB RAM
- I/O: USB, Ethernet, HDMI, UART/SPI/I2C, CAN, GPIO (plus audio and other serial interfaces on many revisions)
- Boot/storage: can boot Linux/Android from microSD or onboard flash (depending on revision)
- Usage model: used on a carrier board that provides power, connectors, and peripherals
- Availability: industrial-grade variant (ISM) with rugged temp ranges and long-term availability
For exact specs, pinouts, BSPs, and carrier-board guidelines, consult the vendor’s datasheet and reference designs.

Function: OSD3358-512M-ISM is an Octavo OSD335x System-in-Module (SOM) containing a TI Sitara AM3358 CPU with 512 MB DDR3. The two 60-pin connectors expose the AM335x I/O and peripherals (GPIO, UART, I2C, SPI, PWM, ADC, USB, Ethernet, MMC/SD, CAN, etc.) plus power rails and PMIC interfaces. It is intended to plug into a carrier/baseboard to provide the SoC interfaces and RAM.

Manufacturer: Open Source Design (OSD) Systems. They are an embedded hardware company that designs and manufactures System-on-Module (SoM) products and related development boards for OEMs and developers.

Possible application areas for OSD3358-512M-ISM:
- Industrial automation and motor control
- Industrial IoT edge gateways and data collection nodes
- Robotics and automated systems
- HMI/display panels and embedded touchscreens
- Medical devices and healthcare instruments (compact Linux SBC)
- Data acquisition, test and measurement equipment
- Smart meters, energy management and building automation
- Embedded networking, gateway and security appliances
- Prototyping and development platforms for Linux-based embedded systems

OSD3358-512M-ISM uses TI’s System-in-Package (SiP) packaging—a BGA-style package that contains the SoC plus memory.
