Frequently Asked Questions

What engineers ask about the calculator

01What questions does the calculator answer?

It produces a rough architectural direction from your target platform, power budget and real-time requirements: which silicon class (MCU / heterogeneous SoC / GPU module), which OS layer (bare-metal / RTOS / embedded Linux) and which communication backbone fit your project.

02Is the result a binding quote?

No — the calculator is a pre-orientation tool. Final architectural decisions are made in the architecture audit, weighing thermal budget, regulation and field conditions together.

03What happens to my data?

Form data is used only to contact you and is never shared with third parties. Corporate e-mail validation and bot protection (honeypot + rate limiting) are active.

04What do you recommend for SWaP-C constrained projects?

Offloading to hardware accelerators (NPU/DLA) and quantization (FP16/INT8) are the primary levers — for example, 127 fps at 8.4W was achieved with TensorRT FP16 on Jetson Orin NX. The calculator gives you a starting point for this class of decision.

05Who do I talk to after the result?

Engineers, not sales representatives. The technical intro call works through your current architecture, constraints and target metrics.
