The PC/104-Plus stackable form factor allows OEMs in military, avionics, transportation, data logging, portable computing and other rugged markets to add a state-of-the-art Intel® Architecture controller to their systems without the need for a custom carrier board. The CoreModule® 740 also provides an upgrade path for the broad base of existing PC/104 system designs.
Our customers are looking to take advantage of the newest generation processors while preserving their investment in existing I/O technologies. The CoreModule® 740 addresses these needs by integrating the Intel® Atom™ CPU with legacy I/O and PCI bus. It delivers the advantage of Ampro by ADLINK™ Extreme Rugged™ design methodologies to zero-fail applications in the harshest environments and gives customers a drop-in form factor replacement with no new cabling requirements. ADLINK is sending a lifeline to EOL PC/104-Plus users with an Extreme Rugged™ legacy-friendly board with the latest Intel® Atom™ CPUs. said Brian Healy, Product Management Manager of ADLINK.
