Embedded specification moves to next level

The XTX 1.1 specification includes complete definition of all signals, the mechanical description and the results from the comprehensive PCI Express signal path simulation.

Ampro Computers has announced today the immediate availability of the newest XTX 1.1 specification including complete definition of all signals, the mechanical description and the results from the comprehensive PCI Express signal path simulation.

In contrast to previous computer-on-module standards, XTX offers the possibility of united software interfaces in order to enable a higher level of compatibility.

With this possibility, XTX modules from multiple vendors can be exchanged easily while providing compete flexibility when it come to replacing a flat panel display with one from a different manufacturer.

This vendor independent plug-and-display feature is unique within the embedded computer industry.

The backwards compatibility to ETX is still maintained.

All ETX applications not using the ISAbus can easily be switched to XTX.

XTX defines the control of flat panel displays using LVDS channels.

Additionally there is an addendum to the XTX specification that defines the alternative usage of these pins for using a TTL display interface.

Furthermore, two additional signals are defined and implemented to enhance ACPI battery management possibilities.
