Single Board Computers General Overview After merging with Ampro, ADLINK is the leading developer of industry standards for the most widely used off-the-shelf embedded system boards, such as PC/104, EBX and EPIC. We offer a form factor for every need: the ReadyBoard™ (EPIC) family of products is designed for high-volume commercial applications, and the Ampro by ADLINK™ Extreme Rugged™ LittleBoard™ (EBX) line is for applications exposed to harsh environments. PC/104 Ampro by ADLINKTM CoreModule® products provide unmatched fanless operation over temperature extremes, resistance to shock and vibration, conformal coating, embedded BIOS, and a long product life reputation. The CoreModule® continues to distinguish itself as an Extreme Rugged™ product for a multitude of applications. CoreModule® EBX The high-performance, feature-rich LittleBoard™ SBCs are based on the industry standard EBX form factor, co-invented by Ampro. Since 1984, LittleBoard™ SBCs have been used stand-alone or as a base with stacked electronics for long lifecycle embedded applications, requiring extreme ruggedness, reliability, high-performance processing, networking and video. Using identical mechanical format, connector placement and pinout, for 25 years, these Extreme Rugged™ SBCs are unique in offering only low-power processors for high-reliability applications. LittleBoard™ EPIC Featuring high performance and a standard interface, EPIC ReadyBoard™ SBC products are very cost-effective for common applications. The ReadyBoard™ family is a great platform for applications such as user interface terminals for medical equipment, networked systems, building automation, kiosks, gaming, industrial applied computing and control devices. The ReadyBoard™ would benefit any high-volume embedded application that requires high performance and low cost. ReadyBoard™ 1-25 http://www.adlinktech.com/ampro/ What are ISM™ & SUMIT™ What is ISM™? What is SUMIT™? ISM™, short for Industry Standard Module™, is a pure SUMIT™ is one of many board-to-board expansion 90mm x 96mm form factor (compatible with PC/104) interfaces that are permitted with ISM™.

CoreModule® An ISM-size SBC with SUMIT™ expansion is called a “SUMIT-ISM™ SBC”. An ISM-size I/O card is similarly called a “SUMIT-ISM™ I/O PC/104 - ISM™ • 90 mm x 96 mm module”. A more general naming scheme handles SBCs that accepts smaller boards as I/O cards, or SBCs with multiple buses, in a descriptive manner by mentioning the form factor first, followed by a SBC manufacturers have struggled to fit modern list of expansion interfaces. For example, “ISM™ SBC with SUMIT™ legacy-free platforms onto small form factors without and PC/104 expansion”, and “EPIC SBC with SUMIT™ and PC/104 expansion” are some of the possibilities. The notations “SUMIT-ISM™” protruding beyond the allowed board outlines with or “SUMIT™ on ISM™” are contracted forms for a special case, while “wings”. With the ISA bus, serial ports, and even the boards with multiple interfaces could be more confusing to label with PCI bus no longer integrated into low power chipsets, contracted names. it takes extra circuitry to meet the needs of many embedded applications. Who manages these standards? A new, independent standards organization called the Small Form What is included in the specification? Factor Special Interest Group, or SFF-SIG, creates, adopts, and The ISM™ Specification defines the board size, four fixed mounting maintains a number of emerging standards for the low power, small holes, component height limits, and flexible “expansion zones” for I/O form factor market. As consumer technology is often inappropriate and/or bus connectors. The fixed corner mounting holes allow re-use for the embedded market, the standards feature re-usable modular of enclosures without modifications in the future. building blocks, developed by embedded vendors for embedded OEMs. Many of these are optimized for ultra low power processors What interfaces are allowed? and controllers, yet scale up to multi-core processor environments. ISM™ allows many combinations of bus and I/O connectors as long For more information about the specifications, visit www.sff-sig.org. as those interfaces reside within the defined “expansion zones”. ISM™ also offers a choice of using right-angle connectors that overhang the board edges, or extending the circuit board if vertical / non-overhang connectors are used. What architectures are allowed? ISM™ boards can be SBCs, stackable CPU and I/O cards, and even computer-on-modules (COMs). This flexibility allows easy migration from SBCs to COMs and vice-versa, or from processor to processor, while preserving investments in mechanical designs. 1-26 Ampro by ADLINK™ PC/104 selection guide CoreModule® Ampro by ADLINK™ Extreme Rugged™ The CoreModule® family excels in Extreme Rugged™ (or SUMIT-ISM) I/O expansion modules. The stack applications and is frequently used in compact stacks requires a small footprint and can be mounted where all the functions of the application are contained directly inside the system enclosure for a durable, within the PC/104-ISM footprint. Stacks consist of a dependable PC-compatible assembly.
