Blue Chip Technology has joined the XTX Consortium – an industry special interest group supporting the COM (Computer on Module) open standard XTX. XTX™ is an expansion and continuation of the well-established and highly successful ETX® standard. XTX™ offers the newest I/O technologies on this proven form factor. Now that the ISA bus is being used less and less in modern embedded applications XTX™ offers an array of different features on the X2 connector than those currently found on the ETX® platform. These features include new serial high speed buses such as PCI Express™ and Serial ATA®. All other signals found on connectors X1, X3, and X4 remain the same in accordance to the ETX® standard (Rev. 2.7) and therefore will be completely compatible. |
