DFI has added to its Intel H81 product line with the introduction of the HD100-H81, a new Mini-ITX embedded motherboard. Providing low-power consumption and higher performance, the HD100-H81 is powered by the 4th generation Intel CoreTM processor family. The 4th generation Intel CoreTM processors with LGA 1150 socket enables smooth flash playback and rich 2D/3D graphics with high quality playback, providing a compelling visual experience fo...

Combining exceptional processing and high data throughput capabilities, the new 3U VPX GPGPU from Aitech has a rugged design ideal for C4ISR and advanced sensor processing. The C530 GPGPU carries the latest industry-standard MXM modules with the ability to easily upgrade to newer modules as they become available.

Kontron has releases the long-term available CP3010-SA CompactPCI processor board. Equipped with the latest SoC Intel Atom E3800 processors, the new CP3010-SA quadruples the performance in the low-power class of Intel Atom processor based Kontron CompactPCI systems. Since this doesn't increase the thermal budget, this makes it an ideal drop-in replacement even for Intel Core 2 Duo processor based CPCI systems.

Kontron has extended its long-term available Mini-ITX portfolio with the introduction of the KTQM87/mITX vibration- and shock-proof motherboard with a soldered 4th generation Intel Core processor. Operating over a temperature range from 0°C to +60°C, this motherboard has been specifically designed for performance-intensive applications in harsh environments.

A new COM Express Type 6 MSC C6C-GX module family based on the AMD Embedded G-Series SOC (system-on-chip) platform has been released by MSC. The computer-on-modules offer a powerful graphics and multimedia performance with low power dissipation. The module family will be available with four different quad-core and dual-core processors.

A kit that enables a quick start into the development of cost-sensitive, compact Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications is now available at distributor MSC. The Renesas Starter Kit supports the semiconductor company’s RZ/A1 group of microprocessors (MPUs) that were launched in June 2013, featuring on chip SRAM of 3MB, 5MB or 10MB, depending on the version.

element14 has announced global availability of the Gertduino expansion board for the Raspberry Pi computer. Gertduino is an Arduino-Uno like board that was created by Gert van Loo, the inventor of the Gertboard. Gertduino is Arduino compatible and plugs directly onto the Raspberry Pi. 

Kontron has announced the KTQ67/Flex-MED motherboard at Medica 2013. Featuring two EN60601-1 compliant isolated Ethernet ports, the standard Flex-ATX boards provide a long-term availability of 7 years. As well as the isolated LAN ports, the KTQ67/Flex-MED features 2 DVI interfaces which can drive medical imaging tasks on two HD monitors.

WIN Enterprises has today introduced a new a mini-ITX motherboard with a 4th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processor and mobile Intel H81 Express chipset, the MB-73340. Targeted at markets such as kiosk, retail, medical, military, industrial control and security, the motherboard is designed to support a range of solutions that require high performance, low power, excellent graphics and efficient connectivity in a small form factor.

Texas Instruments have created a fully-functional sensorless motor control system with the introduction of the new C2000 InstaSPIN-FOC (field-oriented-control) LaunchPad and DRV8301 motor drive BoosterPack plug-in module.
