With the spread of industrial computing, a whole range of new applications has been
developed, resulting in a fundamental change in the IPC industry. In the past, System
Integrators (SI) were accustomed to completing projects without outside assistance,
but now such working models are less common. Due to diverse market demands and
intense competition, cooperation for (both upstream and downstream) vertical inte-
gration has become a much more effective way to create competitive advantages.
ARM-based CPU modules were born out of this trend. Concentrating all necessary
components on the CPU module and placing other parts on the carrier board in
response to market requirements for specialization provides greater flexibility while
retaining low power consumption credentials.
Advantech has been involved in the industrial computer industry for many years and
has found that customers usually have some questions when implementing modular
designs, the answers to which will be discussed below.
General I/O Design Capability
Although customers possess the ability for vertical integration and have enough
know-how and core competitiveness in the professional application field, the lack of
expertise and experience in general power and I/O design causes many challenges,
especially when integrating CPU modules into their carrier boards.
Acquisition of Information
Even if the individual client is able to obtain sufficient information to make the right
decision for specialized vertical applications, some customers encounter difficult
problems dealing with platform design in general and communicating with CPU or
chipset manufacturers, thereby increasing carrier board design difficulties and risk,
as well as seriously impacting time-to-market, which may lead to lost market opportu-
nities.
Software Development and Modification
Compared to x86 architectures, RISC architectures use simpler instruction sets,
therefore software support for x86 platforms cannot be used on RISC platforms. Sys-
tem integrators need to develop software for their systems and do the hardware and
software integration themselves. Unlike x86 platforms, RISC platforms have less
support for Board Support Packages (BSP) and drivers. Even if driver support is pro-
vided, SIs still have to make a lot of effort to integrate them into the system core.
Moreover, the BSPs provided by CPU manufacturers are usually for carrier board
design, so it’s difficult for SIs to have an environment for software development.
