Embedded Board Standards


There are dozens of embedded board standards out there. Many board types are listed on the Industrial Board Formats page, but not every board variation. The page contains links to manufacturers that make a particular style of board.

One of the page links points to all the Mezzanine Card Manufacturers. Which then points to each of the different types of daughter cards. Two new links added include manufacturers that produce an FPGA Mezzanine Card [FMC], and an Express Mezzanine Card [EMC]. A small description of the EMC standard had already been listed as part of the Bus Definitions section, under EMC Mezzanine Bus. Neither of these two bus standards have been released yet, so there are no manufacturers that produce boards.

Another embedded board format that was added is the listing of EPIC Express Board Manufacturers, but because I just now up-loaded the page it's still a copy of the EPIC Board Manufacturers page. Again, the point of the pages is to list companies that produce cards in the listed formats. Only a very small description is provided for each board form factor.
