From ‘compromise fit’ to ‘perfect fit’:
Board customization now affordable for all embedded Intel users
Zero NRE fees and low minimum order quantity mean that user-specified embedded motherboards, computer-on-modules (COMs) and COM Express carriers are now a viable option for all embedded projects.
To address the need for optimized board designs when a COTS board is not suitable, Emerson Network Power has introduced the RapiDex™ service.
The RapiDex service is a rapid board customization program that allows OEMs to exactly specify the Intel® embedded processor, I/O, connector and other options within a standard or custom board form factor.
The RapiDex service is fast and straightforward for the customer to use: no special contracts, no statements of work and no project supervision are required. And unlike conventional customization engagements, the customer need make no commitment on production volume numbers, and the minimum order quantity is merely 100 units.
The RapiDex service is also priced to suit the vast majority of embedded design projects: the customer pays a small manufacturing setup fee, no Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) fees, and unit costs per board shipped are comparable to the price of a standard part.
This eBook describes the RapiDex service and how it brings the advantages of board customization to a far wider range of embedded OEMs than could previously benefit from it.
