IoT
One of the new challenges arising with the use of edge, fog, and cloud architectures is the connection of components to each other and to the public cloud. An important element of developing a solution capturing all pieces is the IoT framework susietec
At the field, or edge level, data is collected by industrial computers, e.g. by gateways, which process, filter, analyze and act on these data in real-time right at the device.
Edge, fog and cloud applications demand increasing computing power. The interfaces to sensors or machines often require non-standard solutions. Especially in smaller machines, space is limited or restricted in some dimension and need a special solution.
Today, the connection from the sensor device to the embedded cloud takes place via real-time data communication, on sensor and edge level - for example Industrial Ethernet or fieldbuses - and gateways , which provide the transformation of real time data into the informational area.

Kontron X-board miniKit: X-Scale Starter Kit for Mobile Mini-devices
New miniKit Takes the Risk Out of Developing with RISC Processors
Boston (September 26, 2006) - With the RoHS-compliant X-board miniKit, Kontrons Embedded Modules division presents an efficient evaluation kit for ultra-compact and robust mobile applications based on the X-board open standard for Computer-on-Modules. At 80.5 square centimeters (115 x 70 mm), the Kontron miniKit currently is the most compact, ready to use baseboard for RISC based modules. With all of the necessary components included in the kit that is complete with Windows CE pre-installed on the X-board module, Kontron takes the risk out of developing with RISC processors.
Developers can test the application on the X-board platform with the Kontron X-board miniKit right out of the box, even if their customer-specific baseboard is not yet ready. The result is a noticeably reduced time-to-prototype through parallel development of hardware and software. In addition, developers of individual COM applications benefit from a standardized and functionally validated X-board module in two different onboard memory configurations.
The new Kontron miniKit comes standard with all of the following items:
High-performance X-board module
New X-board miniBaseboard
3.5 QVGA touch-screen display (320 x 240 pixels),
Switchable ATX power supply unit (115 / 230 V),
Embedded-to-box adapter cable for Ethernet, RS232, USB (host and client), RS232, CF-Card and audio I/O (2 x 3.5 mm plug)
Board Support Package (on CD) for licensed Windows CE. (Linux BSP is planned)
The Kontron X-board miniKit is priced starting at $1315 in small quantities and available for immediate delivery. To learn more about the Kontron X-board miniKit and other Kontron X-board products, please visit www.kontron.com or stop by the Kontron booth (#501) at the Embedded Systems Conference held in Boston, MA September 26-27.

About X-board:
Kontron X board modules have the same dimensions as a business card (68 x 49 mm) and are fully PCI- and LPC-compatible. They offer all currently required interfaces, such as USB, LAN, serial interfaces, sound and LCD. Since legacy interfaces such as PS/2, floppy, parallel interface and ISA bus are already being phased out throughout the embedded industry, they have been omitted from the X-board module design. Leaving out these legacy interfaces allows for greater use of all the features provided by ARM or RISC processor architecture as well as those enabled by x86 processors. This leads to an expansion of the potential areas of application of this Computer-On-Module standard. The Kontron X-board design closes the gap between the Kontron DIMM-PC and ETX platforms. OEMs,who need more than DIMM-PC power and fewer features than the extensive ETX are best served by designing with Kontron X-board modules. You can request further information on the X-board standard directly from Kontron.
