Anders Electronics announces the availability of a System-on-Module featuring Intel's 915 Express chipset, a Pentium M processor and dual channel DDR2 RAM. Measuring 9cm x 7cm and can fit into space-constrained applications that none-the-less require high levels of performance from the vast library of standard PC software. The costs are starting from $225 including the processor and memory. It allows the integration of different types of external electronic devices through PCI and LPC buses, and includes three 5Gbps PCI Express channels, and so it is suited to test, measurement and control applications. A range of standard and legacy peripheral interfaces are also provided, including six USB2.0 ports, dual LAN (including one gigabit Ethernet channel), PS/2 keyboard and mouse, GPIO, RS232, infrared, SMBus, IDE and Serial ATA. An on-board 512MB flash disk can remove the need for an external hard disk, which greatly improves reliability.

Multimedia support is provided through the on-board Intel ‘Azalia’ High Definition Audio and a PCI Express GMA900 graphics controller supporting dual screen video, VGA, TTL LCD and dual-channel LVDS outputs with 3D and video playback acceleration. With its embedded BIOS and support for industrial operating systems, the CM-iPM can look completely unlike a standard PC, with the boot and set-up screens hidden, but accessible by serial port. Anders Electronics’ System-on-Modules are interchangeable, allowing a wide range of performances with modules available on three different processor architectures; ARM, PowerPC and x86.
