Apalis – A New Architecture for Embedded Computing

The complexity of today's embedded systems creates many challenges for engineers and project managers. The use of off-the-shelf computer on modules tremendously eases this situation. Computer-On-Modules (COMs) encapsulate the ever increasing complexity of modern hardware and software technologies, creating a single subsystem which can be easily integrated as a core component of an embedded product. This has the benefit of massively shortening the time to market while at the same time drastically reducing product development risk. The deployment of an off the shelf System on Module family decouples the customer from the underlying silicon vendors, greatly extending product lifecycle while reducing total cost of ownership.



 
Toradex presents the new Apalis Computer-On-Module family enabling customers to take full advantage of the latest advancement in technologies, making it possible to create leading edge products and user experiences for the embedded market.

The features and interfaces of Apalis™ are described, including specific value propositions like Direct Breakout™ and MXM SnapLock™.
