MEN System-on-Module ESM

ESM Starter Kits

Embedded System Modules are complete computers on a module.

A final application consists either of a stand-alone ESM, an ESM with

an application-specific carrier card and/or an ESM with additionally

plugged PCI-104 modules.

An ESM starter kit allows evaluation of most of the functions of a

specific Embedded System Module. The kit usually consists of the

CPU module (the ESM), an FPGA with additional I/O functions, the

carrier card, DRAM memory, PSU, several cables depending on the

ESM features, and an adapter for mounting a PCI-104 module. Each

ESM starter kit provides versatile mounting options and can also be

installed in a standard PC.

After evaluation, the design overhead for each application is limited

to I/O. Depending on the application and quantity it may be neces-

sary to develop a simple carrier card, choose PCI-based standard

components, load additional I/O functions into the FPGA, write soft-

ware drivers for those additional functions, or design a housing.

Carrier board and FPGA IP core design as well as mechanical design

and integration services are offered by the MEN headquarters and

by MEN Know-How Centers and partners – for example in the USA,

in France, or in the Benelux.
