5.1 RISC Design-in Services
With the spread of industrial computing, a whole range of new applications have
been developed, resulting in a fundamental change in the IPC industry. In the past,
system integrators (SIs) were accustomed to completing projects without external
assistance. However, current working models have changed. Due to diverse market
demands and intense competition, cooperation (both upstream and downstream) for
vertical integration has become a much more effective means to create competitive
advantages. ARM-based CPU modules resulted from this trend. Addressing market
requirements for specialization by concentrating all necessary components onto the
CPU module and placing other parts on the carrier board offers increased flexibility
while retaining low power consumption benefits.
Advantech has many years of experience in the industrial computer industry. The
information provided below aims to address the most common customer questions
regarding the implementation of modular designs.
General I/O design capability
Although customers possess vertical integration abilities and sufficient professional
application knowledge and core competitiveness, a lack of expertise and experience
in general power and I/O design generates numerous challenges, particularly with
the integration of CPU modules and carrier boards.
Information acquisition
Even if sufficient information is obtained to make appropriate decisions regarding
specialized vertical applications, some customers experience difficulties in platform
design and communicating with CPU or chipset manufacturers. This increases the
challenges of carrier board design and extends the time-to-market, potentially result-
ing in lost market opportunities.
Software development and modification
Compared to x86 architectures, RISC architectures use simpler instruction sets;
therefore, the software support for x86 platforms cannot be applied to RISC plat-
forms. System integrators must develop unique software and integrate the hardware
and software themselves. Compared to x86 platforms, RISC platforms have less sup-
port for board support packages (BSP) and drivers. Although driver support is pro-
vided, SIs still have to integrate them with the core system. Moreover, the BSPs
provided by CPU manufacturers are typically for carrier board design. Thus, estab-
lishing a software development environment for SIs is fairly challenging.
To address this need, Advantech proposed the concept of streamlined design-in sup-
port services for RISC-based computer on modules (COM). With a dedicated profes-
sional design-in services team, Advantech actively participates in carrier board
design and problem solving. Our services not only enable customers to effectively
distribute their resources, but also reduce R&D manpower costs and hardware
investment.
Close interactive relationships with leading original manufacturers of CPUs and chip-
sets, such as ARM, TI, and Freescale, enable Advantech to assist customers with
solving communication and technical support difficulties, reducing the uncertainties of
product development. Advantech’s professional software team also emphasizes the
provision of a comprehensive BSP and assists customers in establishing a software
development environment for their RISC platforms.
Advantech’s RISC design-in services helps customers overcome problems and
achieve a faster time-to-market by streamlining the design process.
