Different from commodity gongbans: these are professional-grade industrial platforms maintained by Kingbrother's IDH team. They're closer to the “industrial reference platform” tier than to the white-label consumer gongbans you'd find for sub-$50 products. Useful for founders building products that need real compute, edge AI, or industrial certifications.

About these platforms

The boards above are Kingbrother's published IDH catalog. SOM denotes the core System-on-Module (the compute card containing CPU, RAM, eMMC, and power); EVK and EBC denote the carrier boards used to evaluate or deploy the SOM. In production, customers typically integrate the SOM onto their own custom carrier designed for their enclosure.

These platforms sit at the “industrial reference” tier of the gongban ecosystem — between commodity consumer gongbans and fully bespoke designs. For background on the full system, see What are gongbans? or read the book.
