A module with a flexible I/O interface and security protection has been released by Advantech. The RISC TX COM module, the ROM-3420, is designed with the Freescale ARM Cortex-A9 i.MX6 Dual 1GHz processor and RTX 2.0, making it suitable for demanding applications within the military, logistics, transportation/fleet management.

EBV Elektronikand LNT Automation have joined forces to develop and launch their Display/Touch Evaluation Kit. The kit comprises a 7in. touch display (EVK2TI1) from LNT together with the SoCrates board from EBV. This combination enables users to build a graphical user interface with a capacitive input system quickly and easily and to test it themselves.

An industrial-grade MicroATX motherboard embedded with the 4th generation Intel Core i processor, which provides improved graphic and computing performance, has been introduced by Advantech. Equipped with I/O, AIMB-503 also enables extended connectivity to handle multiple peripherals. Integrated with SUSIAccess 2.0 Pro remote device management software, the motherboard can meet the demands in the ATM/KIOSK market, such as remote control...

DATA MODUL has introduced an industrial Mini-ITX powered by Intel Celeron N2930/J1900, a SoC codenamed "Bay Trail". Based on the 22nm Silvermont microarchitecture, the processors are designed for intelligent systems and applications with low power consumption and high performance requirements.    

VadaTech now offers an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) processor with a CFP2 front panel port for 100G capabilities. The AMC738 Processor AMC features a Cavium™ Octeon II CN6880 multi-core processor and a Virtex-7™ FPGA.  The CFP2 port can utilize 4 x 25Gbps lanes or 10 x 10Gbps lanes.

Men Mikro has introduced the F75P single-board computer that brings functional safety to the board level, using redundant Intel Atom processors. The safe QNX operating system and the corresponding certification package make the F75P a SIL 4 certified turn-key solution. Two out of a total of three Intel Atom E680T processors are set up to be a redundant control unit with 1.6 GHz and 512 MB DDR2 RAM, running with a safe QNX BSP.

Designers using the Raspberry Pi for embedded applications can now go to element14 for the Raspberry Pi Compute Development Kit. The Module allows design engineers to use their own interface board that will host the compute module and deliver a smooth experience as they move from prototyping on the Pi through to shipping commercial product in volume.

High network connectivity and the smart manageability of the Internet of Things and embedded systems is offered in a single board computer available from Rutronik. The MIO-5271 from Advantech comes in a 3.5in. MI/O Extension (146x102mm) form factor, based on Intel 4th generation Core i5/Celeron processors (Mobile U-series platform). The SBC supports 1600/1333MHz DDR3L, USB 3.0, SATA up to 6Gb/s (600MB/s), Intel AMT 9.5 Release and has triple inde...

Analog Devices AD9652-310EBZ Dual 16-bit analog‑to‑digital converter (ADC) Evaluation Board will make its debut on distribution shelves at Mouser Electronics. The AD9652 ADC captures data at 310MSPS and has a high speed pipelined architecture. Mouser says that it is the first to stock the Evaluation Board.

dSPACE has introduced a new processor board for real-time systems, the DS1007 PPC Processor Board. The DS1007 handles demanding computing requirements for developing control systems for complex modern applications. Control engineers developing complex applications - electric drives, autonomous systems and vehicles, active noise suppression, etc. - require high computation power and very fast I/O access. These applications require a high-spee...
