Expert IP CCTV SoM Development

I’m building a new IP CCTV camera that must clear India’s STQC certification, and the System-on-Module is the piece I want you to own. You should be comfortable selecting or custom-designing the SoM, bringing up Linux or RTOS on it, and interfacing a global-shutter image sensor through an ISP pipeline.

Secure boot is mandatory; I’ll rely on you to create a trusted boot chain, sign the firmware, and lock down update paths so the final product is field-upgradable yet tamper-proof. If you already have experience hardening U-Boot, using ARM TrustZone/OP-TEE, or similar secure enclaves, tell me up front.

Because we must pass STQC, every hardware and software choice has to come with traceable documentation. Expect to collaborate with my mechanical and compliance team on EMI/EMC, power-fault testing, and manufacturing test scripts.

Deliverables
• SoM schematic, BoM, and PCB layout (Altium or KiCad)
• Bootloader + kernel configuration with secure boot enabled
• Firmware signing toolchain and upgrade procedure guide
• Validation report mapping features to STQC CCTV clauses

I’m ready to start as soon as you outline your approach and a realistic schedule.
