Key Specification Considerations
| Feature | Automotive Board | General Development Board |
|---|---|---|
| Operating Voltage | 12V/24V tolerant, protected | Typically 3.3V/5V, less robust |
| ESD Protection | Integrated, meets automotive environment | Not always present |
| CAN/OBD-II Support | Native or shield options | Rare, often needs add-ons |
| Mounting | Enclosure-ready, vibration-resistant | Breadboard, non-automotive |
