Kontron AG - Kontron accomplished open-standard anatomy agency nanoETXexpress assets momentum

Eching, Germany, November 13, 2008 – Developed by Kontron, the acclaim agenda sized open-standard nanoETXexpress Computer-on-Module anatomy agency (84 mm x 55 mm) for developing ultra-mobile mini-computer accessories based on x86 processors with 45nm technology now has its aboriginal additional antecedent partner: AAEON.

In acknowledgment to the accretion appeal for anytime abate Computer-on-Modules with anytime bigger performance-per-watt values, AAEON is presenting its aboriginal nanoETXexpress Computer-on-Module at the electronica barter fair in Munich. Conforming 100 percent to the COM Express blueprint in agreement of the area and appointment of the pinouts, the nanoETXexpress open-standard anatomy agency offers the accomplished investment aegis for the next bearing of ultra-mobile designs. Other Computer-on-Module manufacturers are accepted to barrage added nanoETXexpress modules soon.

“We abutment the nanoETXexpress anatomy agency because it fits altogether into our artefact portfolio. We accept already implemented the Intel Atom processor on our COM-U15 COM Express Computer-on-Module. The footfall to implementing the nanoCOM-U15 was accordingly easy. The new COM altogether fits the requirements of baby Mobile Internet Devices (MID) and analogously sized, abiding accessible anchored computer solutions. Above all, for our OEM barter nanoETXexpress agency best investment aegis for their designs “, explains Peter Yang, AAEON Product Manager ECD, amenable for Computer-on-Modules at AAEON.

“Ever back the availability of the 45nm Intel Atom processor OEM barter accept been exploring the new possibilities opened up by this processor and the new anatomy agency technology. As a result, the appeal for nanoETXexpress is growing rapidly. This is a bright assurance that the bazaar has acclimatized nanoETXexpress and we are captivated to accept AAEON on axle as the aboriginal adversary to clearly chase this baby anatomy agency trend. More companies will anon chase to accord nanoETXexpress a big advance appear acceptance in the PICMG specification”, says Joseph Behammer, Director of Marketing of Kontron’s Embedded Modules Division.

PICMG certification
The PICMG COM Express blueprint currently incorporates the “basic” and “extended” anatomy factors. Kontron is now branch an action to absorb the nanoETXexpress (84 mm x 55 mm) and hardly beyond microETXexpress (95 x 95mm) anatomy factor, which is already accurate by 5 altered manufacturers, into the COM Express specification. Upon acknowledged acceptance, these will be accepted as COM Express “ultra” and COM Express “compact” respectively. Certification will authorize a absolute blueprint that guarantees OEMs the accomplished amount of believability and abiding availability to abate architecture risks to a minimum. Competing mini Computer-on-Modules appear with decidedly college architecture risks back no added blueprint recognizes altered sized modules.

The nanoETXexpress anatomy agency was acquired from the guidelines of the PICMG COM Express blueprint and follows the blueprint 100 percent (as far as the ambit permit). The alone differences are the admeasurement of the anatomy agency and some of the ascent holes. This enables scalability with COM Express Computer-on-Modules of altered sizes. More important for nanoETXexpress customers, however, is the top believability and advanced advance ability for COM Express befitting designs as able-bodied as a universally accustomed accepted that allows barter (according the Pareto Principle) to accommodated 80 percent of all bazaar requirements with one above anatomy agency blueprint only.

The latest nanoETXexpress blueprint and architecture guidelines for carrier boards can be downloaded chargeless of allegation from www.nanoetxexpress.com/. Other suppliers of anchored computer technology are encouraged to advance Computer-on-Modules that accordance with this specification.

About nanoETXexpress
nanoETXexpress Computer-on-Modules are 100 percent accordant with the COM Express COM.0 Type 1 with account to the pin analogue and connectors’ concrete accession on the module. Therefore, the assorted sizes of COM Express accordant Computer-on-Modules (basic, extended, bunched and ultra) are changeable and carrier axle designs are reusable. This enables developers to draw aloft their absolute acquaintance with COM Express modules. Only the ambit are bargain to a minimum in the nanoETXexpress anatomy factor. In designing this “nano” COM Express anatomy factor, Kontron was able to draw aloft its acquaintance from developing DIMM-PC (ISA) and X-board (PCI) designs as able-bodied as the Intel processor roadmap to ensure the accomplished amount of architecture security. Additionally, Kontron conducted all-encompassing analysis a allotment of ultra adaptable designers to best accept their performance, chip appearance and admeasurement needs.

The nanoETXexpress blueprint defines all of the abiding accordant interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, USB and PCI Express (including PCIe Gen 2) as able-bodied as audio and graphics. Memory and Flash are aswell already on axle – as they are with DIMM-PC and X-board. Compared with agenda bend connectors, the nanoETXexpress adapter is decidedly added approaching proof. Since it has beneath cyberbanking attenuation, it enables best pathways on the carrier board. This is important back blooming IT trends will abate the accessible alleyway breadth in the continued term. In addition, it offers greater shock and beating attrition as able-bodied as a bright advantage if it comes to EMC. This is aswell important back the demands on careful are accretion due to factors such as additional bearing PCIe, for example, that doubles the wire acceleration and thereby the frequency, consistent in the charge for greater shielding. Therefore, it makes the a lot of faculty to use this Computer-on-Module architecture that acutely offers the longest lifecycle.
