  1. Compact Design

    • Core boards are typically small, making them ideal for space-constrained applications like IoT devices and wearable technology.

  2. Pre-Integrated Components

    • Include processors (ARM, x86, RISC-V, etc.), RAM, storage (eMMC, NAND, NOR), and often connectivity options like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Ethernet.

  3. Standardized Interfaces

    • Provide easy integration with custom carrier boards through standardized interfaces like GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART, and PCIe.

  4. Customizability

    • Many core boards support custom firmware, enabling tailored solutions for specific use cases.

  5. Scalability

    • Available in a variety of configurations to suit different performance and power requirements, from low-power microcontrollers to high-performance multi-core processors.

  6. Robustness

    • Designed to operate in harsh environments, often featuring wide temperature ranges, ESD protection, and vibration resistance.
