IoT
One of the new challenges arising with the use of edge, fog, and cloud architectures is the connection of components to each other and to the public cloud. An important element of developing a solution capturing all pieces is the IoT framework susietec
At the field, or edge level, data is collected by industrial computers, e.g. by gateways, which process, filter, analyze and act on these data in real-time right at the device.
Edge, fog and cloud applications demand increasing computing power. The interfaces to sensors or machines often require non-standard solutions. Especially in smaller machines, space is limited or restricted in some dimension and need a special solution.
Today, the connection from the sensor device to the embedded cloud takes place via real-time data communication, on sensor and edge level - for example Industrial Ethernet or fieldbuses - and gateways , which provide the transformation of real time data into the informational area.

Kontron adds robust BGA motherboards to the Mini-ITX family
Value solution with passively cooled mobile Intel® Celeron® power
Hørsholm / Denmark, 2. November 2005 - Kontrons family of ATX-compatible motherboards just got bigger, with the introduction of the 886LCD-M/mITX(BGA). The board has a soldered ultra-low voltage 600MHz Mobile Intel Celeron processor and an Intel 855GME/6300ESB embedded chipset. This robust, fanless miniature motherboard, which measures only 170 mm x 170 mm, is designed for cost-sensitive applications that need low power and passive cooling. Highlights include a cost-effective combination of graphics integrated chipset, LVDS interface and AGP/DVO slot, serial ATA 150 with RAID-0/1 support, four USB 2.0 ports, a 10/100 Ethernet port, and four RS232 interfaces. The board is designed for long-term availability and is used in point-of-sale or point-of-information applications, the gaming and infotainment industry, banking and measurement technology, medical equipment and industrial computers.
The 886LCD-M/mITX(BGA) provides dazzling graphics thanks to the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 controller, which is integrated into the chipset. The board has VGA, on-board LVDS and AGP/DVO graphics interfaces. The AGP/DVO interface can be used for a standard external AGP graphics card and for ADD cards, which allow a second LCD connection at low cost. Several ADD cards are available from Kontron. An on-board AC-97/DD5.1 interface or an on-board stereo amplifier provides high quality sound.
Fast hard drive connection
Besides a 32 bit/33 MHz PCI slot, the 886LCD-M/mITX (BGA) also offers the future-proof serial ATA interface and Soft RAID 0/1 for fail-safe data storage with multiple hard drives. In addition to two traditional ATA-100 interfaces, the 886LCD-M/mITX(BGA) is enhanced by the integration of two fast serial ATA 150 IDE interfaces. In contrast to parallel ATA technology, serial ATA offers point-to-point connection, allowing any connected storage medium to use the entire bandwidth. Moreover, serial ATA offers a Hot Plug capability, smaller plugs, longer cables and standardized layout and construction.
The 886LCD-M/mITX (BGA) can support up to 1GB DDR333 SDRAM and has a 400MHz front side bus. It is competitively priced at 238 Euros.
About Mini-ITX
Mini-ITX is a new ATX-compatible motherboard standard that has gained great approval from professional users. At a mere 17 cm x 17 cm, Mini-ITX is the smallest ATX-compatible motherboard form factor. Its small dimensions enable its use in very compact housings and systems. All Mini-ITX boards from Kontron are specially designed for use in embedded systems, and are therefore built to be robust and available in the long-term.
