Powered by a 6th gen Intel Core processor (formerly code named Intel Skylake-S), the MB-64050 Mini-ITX motherboard has been unveiled by WIN Enterprises. Boasting higher inter-process communications, improved graphics performance and efficient design, the Skylake-S processor on the MB-64050 is suited for a range of embedded applications such as industrial, gaming, medical and retail POS solutions.

Axiomtek has launched CAPA843, a fanless 3.5" embedded board, featuring quad-core Intel Celeron processor J1900 SoC. A pair of SO-DIMM sockets supports up to 8GB of DDR3L 1066/1333MHz RAM. The compact-size embedded board CAPA843 was designed with emphasis on expandability, offering two full-size PCI Express Mini Card slots, as well as an exclusive Axiomtek ZIO connector. With excellent thermal design, the 146x102mm embedded SBC can handle operati...

Reflecting the changes of the new CompactPCI Serial specification, Pentair has announced enhanced features and functions for its Schroff CompactPCI Serial systems. This updated revision includes improvements and new features which require changes to the chassis. Pentair adopted their CPCI Serial platform to support all of the features and functions in this new revision.

For semi-industrial use Fujitsu provides the mainboard D3402-B and D3417-B of the extended lifecycle series. These models support the 6th generation Intel Core processors. Like the mainboards of the classic desktop series they also allow the use of DDR4 memory, which is characterised by a significant increase in performance. The 100er series of Intel chipsets enables the use of more powerful CPUs with a simultaneous reduction of power consumption...

congatec AG is to extend its industrial-grade Thin Mini-ITX motherboard portfolio to include graphics-rich conga-IA4 boards with 14nm Intel Pentium and Celeron processors (codenamed Braswell) and full Windows 10 support. Compared to their predecessors, the Thin Mini-ITX boards offer increased computing and graphics performance as well as support for up to three 4k displays.

Four USB 3.0 SuperSpeed USB-to-FIFO evaluation boards from FTDI are available at Alpha Micro. Using FTDI’s FT600 series of USB 3.0 to FIFO bridge devices the boards are available in different FIFO bus interface and data bit width options. The boards provide a means of bridging from a FIFO bus to a USB 3.0 host and evaluating the FT600/FT601 devices. They are designed to plug into the most popular FPGA development platforms from Altera and X...

A new silicon-based DSP development platform to accelerate the deployment of ‘smart and connected’ devices has been unveiled by CEVA. The platform incorporates processing, connectivity, sensing and application software which are key building blocks for prototyping IoT devices, targeting a broad range of end markets including mobile, wearables and the smarthome.

STMicroelectronics is extending its range of STM32 Nucleo development boards with scalable, small-form-factor variants to support the tiny 32-pin members of its STM32 MCU family. The recent STM32 Nucleo-32 boards come with direct support from a wide choice of IDEs and direct access to mbed online resources. The STM32 Nucleo open platform enables easy and affordable prototyping using STM32 MCU combined with a range of available hardware plug-ins t...
