DIMM-PC/MD Product Manual
It is a matter of fact, that these points are not always estimated objectively. Who knows
for sure at the beginning of a project how much programming efforts will have to be
made for realizing the application? In most cases, this can only be rated afterwards which
means, too late. Also the problematic nature/software care within the course of the
product life-span is often ignored.
If the Embedded PC is to be implemented in today's micro-controller applications, the
advantages of the PC-architecture have to prevail, compared to a micro-controller
solution.
With the DIMM-PC, JUMPtec has aimed at the micro-controller market and has
presented a completely new concept for the Embedded PC-solution.
The DIMM-PC solves the problems of size and cabling. The prices have been drastically
reduced thanks to new technical designs, making the solution of using a DIMM-PC
possible for many applications. The driving of peripheral functions was also made easier
by the expansion towards the ISA-bus-standard.
