Design Assistance Service Advantech provides a checklist for engineers to easily check their schematics and also review services based on customer carrier board schematics. These services are preventative, helping catch design errors before they happen. They save on time and costs with regard to developing carrier boards. - Page 45 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 46 COM. Design Stage When a product moves into the design stage, Advantech will supply a design guide of the carrier board for reference. The carrier board design guide provides pin defini- tions of the COM connector with limitations and recommendations for carrier board design, so customers can have a clear guideline to follow during their carrier board development.

Page 47: Contact Information
RISC platforms usually have less support for ready-made drivers on the carrier board. Customers have to learn from trial and error and finally get the best solution with the least effort. Advantech’s team has years of experience in customer support and HW/SW development knowledge. Consequently, we can support cus- tomers with professional advice and information as well as shortening development time and enabling more effective product integration. -
