This is the main system board, the computer. Boards from different makers should be supported.

Minimum of ports is required for wider compaitibility. These are: Power, USB and HDMI.

Provides the main infrastructure for connecting peripherals. Need to have many ports and good power supply.

Often SOMs already provide a number of USB ports, which can be additionally used, but should not be required.

At least USB 2 or better.

Display Controller and panel

Provides interface to display panel by HDMI

Case

Keyboard and Touch-pad

Software
