Rugged highly reliable embedded computing solutions
By George T Hilliard Multicore processors have been around for quite some time, dating back about 15 years for the mainstream-type devices that are fairly common today. They started as dual cores then went to quad cores. Now, you can find microprocessors containing hundreds or even thousands of “processors cores” in the same piece of… Read More »
Selecting the right single board computer (SBC) for your application is just that; it’s not selecting the board that the vendor thinks is best for you because he’s got extra inventory or just got a new developer that needs the work. It’s finding the board with the right peripheral mix, the right OS choices, and… Read More »
In our last blog, Arm or x86? Future-Proofing Your Industrial SBC Figures Prominently, Part 1, we looked at the first two of four considerations when determining whether your path toward an industrial single-board computer (SBC) should guide you towards the Intel x86 camp or toward an Arm-based processor. There, we covered efficiency versus performance and… Read More »
While there are many embedded solutions on the market, one question still seems to be in the back of the developer’s mind: Do I build it myself or buy an off-the-shelf solution? Or is there a third option? Luckily, regardless of whether you’re attempting to build with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, modified COTS… Read More »

Rugged ITX-P-3800 design packs fanless performance into miniscule form factor; embedded SBC offers industrial connectors and -20ºC to +70ºC operating temperature range
It’s all about the operational environment An industrial computer is a computing platform that has been ruggedized for specific industrial applications that must function in sometimes harsh environments. Its computing capabilities are generally similar to an equivalent commercial PC in terms of storage, processing and communications. However, industrial computers are often designed to use less… Read More »
