  • ETX Driving Embedded
    An ACCES I/O Products Whitepaper ETX Driving Embedded I/O ACCES I/O Products, Inc., 10623 Roselle Street, San Diego, CA 92121 (858) 550-9559 • Fax (858) 550-7322 • [email protected] • www.accesio.com One of the fastest-growing concepts in the embedded world is the “computer-on-module” or COM.The COM approach takes the traditional concept of a computer motherboard with plug- in I/O modules and turns it around so that the motherboard, now called a baseboard, con- tains all the I/O and the CPU with its core support chips and memory plug in as a module. The result of this reversal is an approach that blends the advantages of custom design with those of standard products. Products based on the COM approach maintain long-term viabil- ity while retaining access to the latest in computer technology. One of the principal COM implementations available in the market is the Embedded Technology eXtended (ETX) specification, first developed by Kontron in early 2000. The ETX specification defines a module that is approximate- ly 100-mm square (see Figure 1) and contains the core of a personal computer (PC), including CPU, chipset, mem- aper ory, and core I/O capability. The core I/O includes Ethernet, graphics, USB, keyboard, mouse, and serial interfaces along with a PCI/ISA bus for connection to additional peripherals. Four surface-mount connectors route the mod- ule’s I/O to the baseboard, which can be designed to meet an application’s specific needs. P The original ETX specification was quickly adopted in the embedded industry and is now monitored by the ETX Industrial Group (ETXIG), which is dedicated to keeping the specification in line with advancing technology and market needs.

  • COM Express™ COM.0 Revision 2.0
    COM Express™ COM.0 Revision 2.0 PICMG® adopts new specification for COM Express™ modules. What is new? If it’s embedded, it ’s Kontron. Whitepaper COM Express™ COM.0 Revision 2.0 Five years after its debut, the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG®) has now released revision 2.0 of the COM Express™ COM.0 Computer-on-Module standard. COM.0 Rev. 2.0 addresses the new functionalities that Intel®, AMD and other manufacturers are integrating in their upcoming processor families. Rev 2.0 adds two new pin-outs that make space for possible future technologies by dropping out a number of interfaces that are less useful. The growing significance of graphics and displays is evident in the changes made to the COM Express™ specification. These optimizations now make smaller COM Express™ form factors possible. Even with the changes to the specification, the pin-out types produced to date will continue to be available with new generations of chips, thereby ensuring the scalability of existing applications. The new COM Express™ COM.0 Revision 2.0 specification can be ordered directly at PICMG: https://www.picmg.org/v2internal/specorderformsec-member.htm COntents COM Express™ COM.0 Revision 2.0. 1 Summary . 2 Contents. 2 Taking stock — pin-out types 1 through 5 . 3 Pin-out type 6 opens up a new world of graphics . 3 Extensive support for additional display interfaces . .3 From SDVO to DisplayPort . 4 10 for 1. 4 Other changes . 6 External BIOS Boot . 7 Compact form factor now officially standard . 7 Conclusion . 7 About Kontron .

  • A New Standard for Modular Edge Servers COM HPC Server – the New Server-On-Module Standard 1 COM HPC Server – the New Server-On-Module Standard
    Whitepaper A new standard for modular edge servers COM HPC Server – the new Server-on-Module standard 1 COM HPC Server – the new Server-on-Module standard A new standard for modular edge servers The PICMG will soon officially adopt the COM HPC Computer-on-Module standard. Part of the new standard is the COM HPC Server specification. It was developed for high-end edge server computing, which eagerly awaits new high-speed interfaces such as PCI Express 4.0 and 5.0 as well as 25 Gbit Ethernet. Compared to established COM Express Type 7 based Server-on-Modules, the new specification has almost twice the interface bandwidth with its 800 signal lines, and therefore provides a significantly greater range of functions besides the performance boost. What are the most important markets and applications for the new high-end Server-on-Modules and what are the limits? COM HPC Server addresses the entire range of edge servers as the new Server-on-Modules have a maximum power consumption of up to 300 watts and can therefore use the powerful Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC server processors. However, first modules are not expected to become available until the launch of the next Intel Embedded server processors. COM HPC modules can currently support up to 1 Terabyte RAM on up to 8 SO-DIMM sockets. Ultimately, that’s the limiting factor. The memory hosted on the modules cannot be made directly available to other parallel processors via Intel Ultra Path Interconnect or AMD Infinity Fabric There are two different COM HPC Server form factors that can host either 4 or 8 SO-DIMM sockets.
