Type six module aimed at performance demanding applications
It has been announced that ADLINK is introducing its latest COM Express Type six modules, thus widening its offerings to fulfil the needs of even the most performance demanding applications.
Embedded peripherals start to make their mark
The idea of embedded peripherals (EP) is not new and in the past it has usually been the motherboard manufacturers, and to lesser extent distributors, that stock a limited product range of Input/Output (I/O) products to expand board capability. For a board manufacturer to include every I/O port is not economically viable, so purchasing teams are now buying basic boards and adding the relevant peripherals to achieve the solution required, often wi...
Smooth implementation of hard real time
It has been announced that congatec has teamed up with OSADL, Open Source Automation Development Lab, to optimise the board support for real time Linux and showcase it in the OSADL test racks.
COMs balance space constraints and CPU requirements
Express-BD7 Computer-on-Modules (COMs) from ADLINK Technology, a Premier Member of The Intel Internet of Things Solutions Alliance are in stock at Mouser Electronics. The modules help engineers build space-constrained systems in industrial automation and data communication — such as virtualisation, edge computing or other numerical applications — that require high-density CPU cores balanced by reasonable power consumption.
PCAN-PCI/104-Express FD stacks up to four cards
Available now as single, dual, and four-channel version, from PEAK-System, is the PCAN-PCI/104-Express FD. Up to four cards can be stacked for access to CAN and CAN FD networks. The connection to the CAN bus is made via the D-Sub slot brackets included in the delivery. Stack-through connectors for the PCI bus are supplied on request.
MCU development kit leads to faster prototypes
Announced earlier this year the Clicker 2 development kit for Cypress Semiconductor’s PSoC 6 microcontrollers (MCUs) is now on sale at distributor RS Components (RS). The kit is the result of a collaborative development by RS, Cypress Semiconductor and MikroElektronika. It bridges the gap between expensive, power hungry application processors and low performance MCUs.
Extra time: extended support for processors modules
congatec has extended support for the AMD Geode processor on ETX and XTX modules until 2021. This makes a total of 16 years, which is unique in the embedded processor market, where processors are usually available for seven years. We talked to Christian Eder about the importance of this extension.
Industrial micro ATX motherboard with rich functionality
The unveiling of the MMB501 has been announced by Axiomtek, its newest Micro ATX motherboard powered by the LGA1151 socket sixth/seventh-gen Intel Core i7/i5/i3, Pentium and Celeron processors with Intel Q170 chipset.
Industrial motherboards for a high performance industrial solution
Global PC solution provider and associate member of the Intel Internet of Things Solutions Alliance, Avalue, has unveiled the ERX-C236KP based on the seventh-gen Intel Core processor family.
Defining new parameters in graphics processing
By using the powerful Radeon E8860 GPU, the rugged M596 embedded video and graphics XMC from Aitech Defense Systems captures multiple video inputs and drives up to six simultaneous independent video outputs with full video switching capabilities.
