Examples of customization
Example 1: Example of base replacement
Requirements
Since many parts of old models have been discontinued and it is difficult to continue settlement of payments, it is necessary to change the parts and continue production.
Themes
- Discontinued production of CPU
- Discontinued production of controller ICs such as PCI, PanelLink, HDLC, DDS, etc.
- End of OS support
Development Content
- Adopt the latest CPU
- Use FPGA to realize functions such as PCI, PanelLink, HDLC, DDS, etc.
- Change the OS
Merits
- Enables continuous production while retaining existing functions
- Achieves high-speed processing and space saving by adopting the latest parts
- Functions can be added by saving space
Example 2: Example of carrier board creation
Requirements
Develop a carrier board that has Com-Express as a core and possesses the required I/F
Development Content
Develop terminals and devices with the following specifications
(Main Specifications)
- SATA
- LVDS, eDP
- Touch panel
- PCI-Express
- LAN, Wi-Fi
- USB
- Support for Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
Merits
- Adopting Com-Express for the core circuit significantly shortens the period until mass production.
- Flexibly supports the I/F required by customers.
- Even if the CPU is discontinued, continuous production is possible by replacing the module.
