Kontron X-Board* Modules Enable Multiple Solutions from a Single Design

From Kontron USA
 

 

As an early pioneer in the development of embedded computing modules for semi-customized systems, Kontron's mission is to provide OEMs with access to a full suite of modules that can be exchanged like components to deliver a wide variety of applications. Beginning with the CPU-only DIMM-PC*, later extending to the full-featured ETX* Component SBC, and then to the miniature X-Board*, Kontron modules provide core CPU functions and interfaces to support a variety of applications. These modules can be combined with a custom carrier card (or baseboard) that adds the features needed for a specific application.
