IGEP SMARC
SMARC (“Smart Mobility Architecture”) is an open-source computer Module standard maintained by the SGeT (“Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies”). SMARC Modules are small form factor (82mm x 50mm and 82mm x 80mm), low power (typically < 6W) computer modules that are used on a Carrier board that utilizes a 314 pin 0.5mm pitch right-angle memory socket (all modules are pin compatible) style connector to host the Module. SMARC Modules may utilize ARM, low power RISC or low power x86 CPUs / SOCs.
Features
- Small form factor systems
- Pin out suitable for ARM CPUs features
- Multiple multimedia input/output
- Gigabit Ethernet available
- Large number of low level peripherals (industrial buses: CAN, UART, I2C, SPI)
- Large number of memory buses (MMC, SATA)
- Connection with generic devices via USB port
- Passive heat dissipation (noiseless)
- 314 pin 0.5mm pitch, all modules are pin compatible
