Embedded Systems based on VIA and Intel Platforms

What is an embedded system? A lot of people always have this question when they hear this term. An embedded system is a computer system designed to do one or a few dedicated and /or specific functions often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical part. Embedded systems are controlled by one or more main processing cores that are typically either microcontrollers or digital signal processors. The key characteristic, however, is being dedicated to handle a particular task. Since the embedded system is dedicated to specific tasks, design engineers can optimize it to reduce the size and cost of the product and increase the reliability and performance.

Why are we choosing embedded systems? What type of project requires embedded systems? Other than the reason of reliability and performance why we choose embedded systems, the main reason is that embedded systems are under control of Longevity Support and Fixed BOM (Bill of Material). General speaking, there are 3-5 year longevity for the embedded products. Choosing embedded products for your long term project in order to have availability guarantee. Moreover, it will help to achieve your goal with cost and time efficient.

E-ITX provides vary embedded solutions based on VIA and Intel processors. We mainly carry full line of the VIA embedded products, and the embedded systems from the well-known manufacturers, such as Axiomtek, MSI, Lanner, and IEI. E-ITX is here to provide you the best embedded solutions based on the requirement of the form factor, processor, operating temp and different onboard features for your project.
