An ETX board could be the answer to your project design!
If you are looking for a compact solution (like an ETX board) - you have 3 options:
Use an off-the-shelf embedded board. This has the advantage of very little work needed to produce a final product. The down side is that it could be only a few months before a major component on the board becomes obsolete and you end up looking for a new solution (for which you need to re-write your application!).
A complete custom board design. You have full control of the product, but you are still reliant on the major chipset manufacturers. The design; development time and costs will also be significant.
ETX/XTX/COMExpress Boards. ETX boards allow you to have complete control over the design of your specific application, whilst giving an easy to follow upgrade path via Eltech's range of ETX board modules. Read on to find out more about ETX boards and how they can help your project.
