PICMG 1.x CPU Boards
PICMG 1.0 Single Board Computer
Standards-based system/peripheral card-on-backplane architecture is widely accepted in embedded computing, with PICMG 1.0 the first industry standard for system/peripheral cards-on-backplane, with support for PCI/ISA interface from board to backplane. Establishment of this standard provided a stable and efficient environment for manufacturers to simplify design efforts, minimize costs, allow interoperability of products from different vendors, and stimulate new product development.
PICMG 1.3 Single Board Computer
The PICMG 1.3 specification is the latest evolution in PICMG 1.x system design, addressing the need for faster system platforms with high bandwidth interface with peripheral cards. While flexible system design and PCI compatibility of the older specifications have been preserved in PICMG 1.3, the ISA bus has been replaced by point-to-point PCI Express serial links, providing advanced features such as high bandwidth for data transmission and robust link integrity. The PICMG 1.3 specification allows users to take maximum advantage of the latest chipset. functionalities, increasing bandwidth capability and allowing flexible,
simplified system design.
