Advantech joined the SGET consortium to contribute to defining the SMARC form factor.
The new global standard under the brand name SMARC (Smart Mobility ARCHitecture) is based on ULP-COM, a term which up to now was used for Ultra Low Power Computer-on-Modules. It optimized module designs in three ways:
- Optimized pin-out definition for RISC/ARM
- Easy H/W design for lithium-ion battery
- Slim and low-profile module outline
