Diamond Systems Corporation today unveiled a new design methodology that reduces costs, reduces risk and simplifies designs for traditional users of stackable single board computers (SBCs). The new paradigm consists of off-the-shelf application-specific I/O-intensive computer-on-module (COM) carrier baseboards to be used with industry-standard off-the-shelf ETX CPUs. Using this approach, a two board “sandwich” (ETX CPU plus baseboard) provides a complete application solution which may have previously required three, four, five or more stackable I/O modules in addition to a CPU card.

Emerald MM-8Plus 8-channel multi-protocol serial communications PC/104-Plus module depends solely on the PCI bus for its processor interface, improving performance over traditional PC/104 (ISA bus only) solutions up to 1.832M bps.

2007-03-30 Diamond Systems To Support Equipment Suppliers Efforts To Curb Global Warming, Develop Clean Energy
Makes its technology available at a steep discount for use in equipment that controls or eliminates the emission of greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming, or supports production of clean energy from alternate sources such as wind turbines or solar cells.

2007-03-30 ETX-To-Go Baseboard Customization Services Provide Fast, Low Risk, Turnkey ETX Solutions to Embedded OEMs
This unique baseboard customization service allows OEMs to choose from a wide range of I/O logic proven in the field with Diamond Systems PC/104 modules and single board computers. By using off-the-shelf I/O technology, ETX To Go significantly reduces time to production while lowering technical risk for ETX-based embedded solutions.

2006-04-03 FPGA-based PC/104 Digital I/O Module Enhances Configurability and Flexibility in Embedded Applications
Initial GPIO-MM release provides 48 programmable direction digital I/O signals, 16 fixed direction I/O signals, 10 16-bit counter / timers and the ability to reconfigure in the field. GPIO-MM is based on a Xilinx Spartan II FPGA. Use of an FPGA to implement the digital I/O logic allows the GPIO-MM hardware to be reprogrammed, in the field if necessary, to serve multiple PC/104 I/O applications with different digital I/O requirements.

2006-04-03 Multifunction networking / communications module speeds and simplifies development of vehicle-based applications
Janus MM PC/104 expansion module that incorporates dual CAN bus interfaces and optional GPS and/or wireless modem capability on a single board. Utilizing only a single “slot” in a PC/104 stack, Janus MM enables the creation of compact vehicle-based applications that can communicate on the vehicle network, determine the vehicle’s location, and exchange information with a central location. Such applications can be found in trucks, buses, trains, delivery vehicles, police cars, ambulances and fire trucks.
