Insiders' Guide: Embedded Boards & Systems

Selecting an embedded boards and/or systems partner can be very confusing! Which standard(s) should you choose? Among them, there are PC/104, AdvancedTCA, CompactPCI - there is literally an alphabet soup of standards for every application imaginable. What about semi-custom boards? What about I/O and I/O standards like PCI Express or RapidIO? What about specialized boards for telecommunications, military, or industrial? And, what about software and services? Indeed, perhaps you should design your own board from scratch, or source different boards from different vendors...

To address the confusing alphabet soup of board standards and choices, eg3.com is proud to release our new 2008 edition of Insiders' Guide: Embedded Boards & Systems. This guide provides detailed analysis, interviews, and survey results for engineers and programmers in the process of selecting an embedded board partner, whether this is for a standard board, a semi-custom, or a service partnership to create a fully custom platform.
