COM modulstandard bygger bro mellem ARM og x86

The EDM Standard from TechNexion is the first complete open hardware and software standard for x86 and ARM 'Computer on Modules, COM' under the creative commons share alike license.

This true pin-to-pin Computer on Module standard merges ARM and x86 into a true swap drop-in replacement where not only hardware but also software is tailored to give your project freedom to choose the performance and underlying hardware based on your application and end equipment.

The i.MX 6 series of applications processors unleashes a scalable multicore platform that includes single-, dual- and quad-core families based on the ARM Cortex A9 architecture for next-generation consumer, industrial and automotive applications. By combining the power-efficient processing capabilities of the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture with bleeding edge 3D and 2D graphics, as well as high-definition video, the i.MX 6 series provides a new level of multimedia performance to enable an unbounded next-generation user experience.

EDM modules come in three different, pin compatible form factors: Compact, Standard and Extended and are fully supported by either Windows 7 and Windows 8 (for the x86 modules) or Windows Embedded Compact 7 and Windows 8 RT (for the ARM modules).

For quick and easy developing of mobile embedded devices TechNexion created the EDM1-Fairy carrier board which features a variety of sensors and interconnects.

Applications include, automotive infotainment, digital signage, eReaders, human-machine interfaces, home energy management systems, in-flight entertainment, industrial control systems, IPTV and portable medical.
