At Embedded World, Ampro Computers introduced the XTX 820 computer-on-module (COM) to allow OEMs to access the latest chipset technology without a complete redesign of their ETX baseboard.
The company says that its presence in the XTX market will give assurance to embedded system integrators and manufacturers that their existing investments in custom baseboard designs can be preserved and leveraged for years to come.
Featuring performance up to 1,8 GHz Pentium M, the XTX 820 COM retains legacy peripherals while offering the latest highspeed interconnect and storage technologies: PCI Express and Serial ATA.
The XTX 820 COM offers the next generation Intel 915GM chipset along with a choice of 1,0 GHz, 1,4 GHz, or 1,8 GHz processors, DDR 400 RAM to 1 GB, (6) USB 2.0 ports, both EIDE and Serial ATA interfaces, 10/100 Ethernet, PCI expansion, and RoHS compliance. XTX modules plug into a baseboard to allow customisation of board size and shape, I/O circuitry, connector locations, and easy migration to higher performance modules in the future.
Although the ETX standard does not accommodate new high-speed serial technologies such as Serial ATA and PCI Express, the new XTX standard provides an extension to ETX by replacing the ISA bus signals with four PCI Express lanes, two Serial ATA ports, two additional USB ports and the low pin count (LPC) bus. Unlike other COM architectures, XTX retains support for legacy peripherals such as serial ports, parallel port, floppy drive, Parallel ATA (IDE) and PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
The XTX 820 QuickStart Kits include drivers and board support packages for Windows XP/XP Embedded/CE 5.0, VxWorks, and QNX operating systems, and a full Linux 2.6 distribution.
