“About five years ago when we launched the original BeagleBoard, what you could do with ARM devices was not as clear,” says Jason Kridner, Cofounder, BeagleBoard.org. “Especially as the superscalar ARM core was just coming out, people did not know much about what it was really capable of doing. The closest networking appliance out there were things like the Nokia N800-types of devices, but we were really taking a big jump in performance.

“For the industrial  part, the approach was to put this cool technology into people’s hands and get out of the way,” Kridner continues. “It was really just to try to reach that price point so that folks that wanted to go and play with embedded computer software on these networking appliance could go and do that. And it was really an industry changer; you can see all the things that have come since then.”

Consolidation for both GbE ports configuration

 The board also supports two additional 10 GbE ports combined with PCI Express 3.0 x4 on the backplane, all based on PICMG 2.20 for applications with high bandwidth requirements. The features are rounded out with USB solutions and Serial ATA for an onboard 2.5" SATA hard disk or industrial grade fanless embedded systems – all in a single-slot computer.Several Alliance members offer off-the-shelf solutions that help designers take advantage of the improved performance. For example, Premier member Kontron offers seven platforms based on the embedded systems, such as the Kontron CP6005-SA shown in Figure 2. This 6U CompactPCI board offers high computing and graphics performance along with a complement of high-bandwidth embedded systems that includes five Gigabit Ethernet channels for external and internal PICMG 2.16 compliant Ethernet traffic

New feature for power management

Qseven supports power management features embedded computer and requires only a 5 V power supply, making it well suited for battery-run applications. Recent embedded computer updates to the specification also introduced a reduced form factor module and extended support for mobile processors, increasing the specification’s viability for low-power, portable applications.

“If it is a mobile application with low to medium computing performance requirements, then Qseven is the right choice,” says Christian Eder, Marketing Manager at congatec AG headquartered in Deggendorf, Germany (www.congatec.com). “Medical systems typically require special functionalities such as ultrasonic control or high levels of isolation in order to protect patients in case of a malfunction. Standard SBCs typically do not feature that. The embedded computer logical consequence is to create a custom carrier board that takes all specific functionalities and complete it with a standard COM. Once this combination is certified, it is quite easy to upgrade or scale to other CPUs while the certification remains or just needs to be updated. This provides a lot of freedom to choose the best-fitting CPU and graphics for a given application.”

I/O connectivity in embedded industry

FMC technology is gaining ground as preferred I/O embedded computers. FPGAs have long been used to implement I/O customization, since the required mix of I/O interfaces can be easily implemented in a programmable device from existing IP blocks. The electrical drivers and connectors also need adaptation; however, in a modular embedded system this is not an issue, because the I/O connectivity and electrical protections are customized to the application. It is not difficult to include the electrical drivers in this system-level customization.

On the other hand, for laboratory and test embedded system equipment, it is more convenient to have the electrical drivers directly onboard, because there is no need for sophisticated protection devices, and standard front-panel connectivity is convenient. The FMC form factor allows the customization of the electrical drivers and connectors on a low-cost mezzanine, while the FPGA board itself and the backplane connectivity remain unchanged.

Console server ACS-R1000/1001 Fanless Rackmount with Celeron/Pentium Chipset

Acrosser Technology, Co., LTD today is introducing two models of the Console Server, ACS-R1000 and ACS-R1001. Our console servers are for remote access and control of serial devices, such as servers and routers, from anywhere, at anytime. In addition, Acrosser has added new features including ESD 15KV for industrial purpose using serious environment.
The ACS-R1000 series ranging from 8 to 16-port models is to meet the management needs of any IT environment. The new ACS-R1000/R1001 support 8/16 COMs and include 6 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet ports.

Because ACS-R1000/R1001 controls IT devices through their serial ports, IT specialists can use the secure console server to monitor and manage any connected devices, even when the network is down. And because it is IP-based, administrators can security access the console using a secure web browser or SSH(secure shell) client. With access to remote servers and other IT devices available from anywhere, administrators can resolve incidents and problems more quickly, reducing downtime and IT equipment management costs.
