    RISC Design-in Services Advantech RISC Design-in Services help customers to reduce the time and work involved with designing new carrier boards. We handle the complexities of technical research and greatly minimize the development risk associated with carrier boards. Easy Development Advantech has support firmware, root file-system, BSP, or other development tools for customers.
  • Page 41 CPU module and placing other parts on the carrier board in response to market requirements for specialization provides greater flexibility while retaining its low power consumption credentials. Advantech has been involved in the industrial computer industry for many years and found that customers usually have the following questions when implementing modu- lar designs.
  • Page 42 RISC COM. Design stage When a product moves into the design stage, Advantech will supply a carrier board design guide for reference. The carrier board design guide provides COM connector pin definitions with limitations and recommendations for carrier board design, so cus- tomers can have a clear guideline to follow during development.
  • Page 43: Contact Information

    RISC platforms usually have less support for ready-made drivers on the carrier board, therefore the customer has to learn from trial and error to get the best solution with the least effort. Advantech’s team has years of experience in customer support and HW/SW development. Consequently, we support customers with professional advice and information.
