Embedded Computing<br />
• An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system designed to<br />
per<strong>for</strong>m one or a few dedicated functions, often with real-time computing<br />
constraints – WIKIPEDIA<br />
• Embedded Processing includes both Embedded Control and Embedded<br />
Compute applications. The focus here is on Embedded Computing!<br />
• The different types of embedded computing boards standards are<br />
– PICMG standard boards (PCI, PCIe, cPCI, ATCA, AMC, uTCA,<br />
COMexpress etc.)<br />
– VITA Standard boards (PMC, VME, XMC, VXS, VPX etc.)<br />
– PC 104 consortium (PC104, PC104express, EBX, EPIC etc.)<br />
– Intel Architecture Motherboards (ATX, ITX, mini ITX, Pico ITX, Nano ITX<br />
etc.)<br />
– Computer On Module (ETX, COM, COMexpress)<br />
• Most RISC processor (like <strong>OMAP</strong> ARM) based computing modules use the<br />
COM or SOM (System On Module) <strong>for</strong>m factor. There is no specific standard<br />
established <strong>for</strong> the SOM today.
