§ Run on this SoM in 30 seconds
Same C/C++ API across every E1M module.
Drop a board config at the project root, point at your SKU, and the Alp SDK builds Zephyr / bare-metal firmware (Linux on the Cortex-A32 is planned; no Yocto build yet) for E1M-AEN with no per-chip rewrites. Swap to another E1M module by changing one line.
