congatec presents roadmap for SMARC 2.0, Qseven 2.1 and COM Express 3.0

Deggendorf, Germany, 23 February 2016 * * * congatec, a leading technology company for embedded computer modules, single board computers (SBCs) and embedded design & manufacturing (EDM) services, announced at Embedded World that it fully supports the upcoming new SGET and PICMG Computer-on-Module specifications SMARC 2.0, Qseven 2.1 and COM Express 3.0. Modules complying with these standards are already in development and will be announced in time with the launch of the next processor generations.

SMARC and Qseven roadmapcongatec will fully support the SMARC 2.0 specification. SMARC 2.0 modules will become available for the full range of relevant processor technologies - from the Intel® Atom™ processor to various ARM designs.congatec continues to support all current low-power processors for Qseven 2.1 designs as well.

The essential difference between the two standards is the number of supported interfaces with Qseven providing up to 230, and SMARC 2.0 up to 314 pins. SMARC is intended to interface richer systems with the smallest footprints; while Qseven is ideal for slimmer and less complex module and carrier board designs.

congatec has played a significant and active role in the development of all standards. For the Qseven and SMARC specifications congatec even assumed the role of editor and is consequently a key technology provider for highly compact SFF designs based on Computer-on-Modules - a market where congatec has established itself as the industry leader.

Christian Eder, director marketing at congatec, SGET board member and SMARC spec editor states, "By taking the big step from SMARC 1.1 to 2.0, we have succeeded in giving this standard a clear perspective for the future. This major leap has brought many new interfaces and eliminated a lot of outdated features. Although designs based on 1.1 may no longer be compatible with 2.0, users are compensated by numerous new features."

The COM Express roadmapCOM Express 3.0 will primarily offer a new pinout type specifically for Server-on-Modules. The server-focused Intel® Xeon® and Intel Core™ processors as well as the AMD Embedded R-Series processors are prime targets, with ARM based platforms another possible option.

"All new specifications provide developers with support for the latest interfaces and many detail improvements. Next to the all-new SMARC 2.0 for highly compact multifunction systems, the new COM Express pinout for Server-on-Modules is particularly innovative. It enables us to target the new markets for decentralized, real-time edge servers that are used in media streaming as well as IoT, M2M, medical and automation applications," explains Martin Danzer, product director at congatec.

With congatec's personal integration service, developers will find it easy to integrate the new revisions into future system designs. Since most features are backward compatible, it is in many cases possible to upgrade existing carrier boards with new modules. This gives OEMs investment protection for existing system designs.More: http://www.congatec.com

Intel Completes Acquisition of Altera

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 28, 2015 – Intel Corporation (“Intel”) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Altera Corporation (“Altera”), a leading provider of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. The acquisition complements Intel's leading-edge product portfolio and enables new classes of products in the high-growth data center and Internet of Things (IoT) market segments.

“Altera is now part of Intel, and together we will make the next generation of semiconductors not only better but able to do more,” said Brian Krzanich, Intel CEO. “We will apply Moore's Law to grow today's FPGA business, and we'll invent new products that make amazing experiences of the future possible – experiences like autonomous driving and machine learning.”

Altera will operate as a new Intel business unit called the Programmable Solutions Group (PSG), led by Altera veteran Dan McNamara. Intel is committed to a smooth transition for Altera customers and will continue the support and future product development of Altera's many products, including FPGA, ARM®-based SoC and power products. In addition to strengthening the existing FPGA business, PSG will work closely with Intel's Data Center Group and IoT Group to deliver the next generation of highly customized, integrated products and solutions.

“As part of Intel, we will create market-leading programmable logic devices that deliver a wider range of capabilities than customers experience today,” said McNamara, corporate vice president and general manager of the Programmable Solutions Group at Intel. “Combining Altera's industry-leading FPGA technology and customer support with Intel's world-class semiconductor manufacturing capabilities will enable customers to create the next generation of electronic systems with unmatched performance and power efficiency.”

Intel expects the acquisition to be accretive to non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow in the first full year after close, consistent with prior guidance. Intel expects the acquisition to be dilutive to GAAP EPS in the first full year after close primarily due to acquisition-related costs.

ADLINK Debuts 6th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor-Based Industrial ATX Motherboard Maximizes PCIe Connectivity

The optimal choice for industrial automation, lowering TCO for motion- and vision-integrated applications

Taipei 27-Jan-2016

ADLINK Technology, a leading provider of intelligent computing platforms, today announced the release of its latest industrial ATX motherboard, the IMB-M43, the market's first industrial motherboard powered by 6th Generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processors (formerly codenamed Skylake) and providing up to 5 PCIe slots. Flexible configuration and leading I/O ruggedness present a seriously cost-competitive solution for motion/vision-integrated applications, with robust device compatibility, durable connectivity, and extreme environmental readiness.

ADLINK's IMB-M43's best-in-class computing power and graphic performance support a wealth of industrial applications, powered by the newly released 6th Gen Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processor with Intel Q170 chipset, boosting CPU performance by up to 10% compared with predecessors. A Gen 9 graphics engine delivers a 30% increase in graphic performance to accelerated hardware media codecs and enhanced display resolution for Ultra HD 4K.

“In the past, when industrial machine vision application developers needed 5 PCIe slots in a single system to accommodate either multiple frame grabbers and motion and I/O cards, or two sets of GPU cards with frame grabbers plus I/O card, they had to resort to customized products or seeking out suitable gaming or server-grade boards for more ample PCIe slot support” said Kenny Chang, Director of I/O Platforms Center, ADLINK Technology ”This generated considerable extra costs in equipment investment. The IMB-M43 is the market's first 6th Gen Intel® Core™ processor-based industrial ATX motherboard supporting up to 5 PCIe slots and fully utilizing PCIe/PCI configuration, providing maximum bandwidth in a single system, resulting in an ideal embedded computing platform solution, dramatically lowering TCO.”

With unique and flexible PCIe configuration, the PCIe slots can be assigned to 4 PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes plus 1 PCIe 3.0 x8 lane, 2 PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes plus 2 PCIe 3.0 x8 lanes, and 2 PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes plus 1 PCIe 3.0 x16 lane, for optimal placement to fulfill different tasking requirements. To facilitate integration, ADLINK provides a complete roster of off-the-shelf motion, vision and I/O cards that are fully pre-verified to guarantee maximum compatibility and convenience.

The ADLINK IMB-M43 also features superior I/O ruggedness enhancing operational stability, including unique power design ensuring stable power supply for each USB port at 5V +-5%, with all USB ports able to achieve full loading even from a 300W supply, rugged connectors gold/metal plated to 3 times the thickness of competitors at a minimum15 microinches for enhanced corrosion resistance capability, and finally, EN55022 Class B-certified EMI prevention compared with most competitors showing only Class A. Meeting and surmounting extreme environmental challenges in industrial automation applications, the IMB-M43 ensures system stability, reliability and longevity like none other.

Performance, I/O ruggedness, and rich PCIe connectivity, the ADLINK IMB-M43 provides an optimal platform for industrial automation applications such as multimedia testing for mobile devices, measurement and inspection, and medical imaging, as well as for applications calling for PCIe storage support such as data center/application servers.
