STM32MP1 System In Package Wins Highly Commended Electronics Industry Award
Our latest System-in-Package device built around the new STMicroelectronics STM32MP1 microprocessor has won the Highly Commended Award for Embedded Solutions at the Electronics Industry Awards.
It is crazy to think that just 3 years ago we released our first SiP built around the popular AM335x microprocessor from Texas Instruments. We have since spread the word that System-in-Package is no longer a solution reserved for the large, well-funded companies, but that any designer can take advantage of System-in-Package Technology via solutions from Octavo Systems. Now with this recognition from the Electronics Industry Awards, it appears this message is gaining traction.

Open-Hardware Building Automation System Controller Reference Design Using AM335x Based System in Package
Some applications of IoT are still being debated. Does your refrigerator really need an operating system and be connected to the internet? Should it try to detect when you’re out of milk and automatically order more? What if there’s an error and 50 gallons shows up on your doorstep? Just like many others, I do not know the answers to all these questions. One thing I know for sure is that IoT does belong in air conditioning and the control systems of medium-to-large buildings. The OSD335x family of System-in-Package products featuring the AM335x, provides an excellent foundation for the design of an Open-Hardware Building Automation System Controller. This article introduces a series of technical application notes for building a reference design with the OSD335x-SM.

OrCAD Symbol Library Available for OSD335x C-SiP
Empowering Electronic Engineers – OrCAD and Octavo Systems’ System-in-Package share this focus. Now by adding an OrCAD symbol library for the C-SiP, we empower embedded systems design engineers with more time to add features to new applications. Download the OrCAD library from our website.
Altium Symbol Library Available for OSD335x C-SiP
Completing an embedded design in record time. Reducing the BOM to very few devices. Giving a designer time to add more features to the application. Sound like your wish list? C-SiP is the answer.
The goal of our System-in-Package technology is to create modular building blocks that abstract away tedious, repetitive, and complex tasks that designers are forced to spend time on, but don’t really add value to the end system so that they can create better, more innovate products. At Octavo Systems, we designed a completely integrated 1GHz Arm® Cortex®-A8 computing platform, the OSD335x C-SiP™. The OSD335x C-SiP (Complete System-In-Package) integrates the required components for a computing system into a single IC package.
Today we took another step in making designing with the C-SiP easier by adding an Altium symbol library for you to download from our website.
Leveraging Engineering Experience: Embedded Linux Systems Jump-Start
You have a great new design idea. Now that you’ve chosen your processor and the System-in-Package that meets your needs, you need to get up to speed on the device. You grab your cup of coffee and sit down at your computer to check out the resources, but there is so much information out there! Where to begin?
When starting 
a new embedded systems design, wouldn’t it be nice to have a technical support mentor? Could you use an embedded engineer with years of experience, at your elbow helping you navigate all the information on the web? It can be difficult to navigate through the hundreds of pages of information to find key pieces that can help you get a jump-start on your design:

1GB DDR3 Option Now Available for the OSD335x-SM
Sometimes 512MB of DDR memory just isn’t enough. No matter how hard you try your application just needs more space. Maybe you are trying to process large datasets gathered from thousands of sensors around a building. Perhaps you developed a platform that is capable of running many completely different applications at the same time, or you have some awesome graphics you are trying to render. Whatever your software dilemma or creative idea for your embedded product may be, you just want to have more memory coupled with your computing system. Octavo Systems has heard your requests. We are happy to announce the general availability of a 1GB DDR memory option for the OSD335x-SM family of devices.
