congatec AG is a young company entering the quickly growing Embedded-computer technology market. Our product portfolio is comprised of embedded computer boards & modules with BIOS features for industrial use, professional ‘Board-Support-Packages’ and extensive design-in support. Embedded computers are our passion. It’s our goal to establish long-term partnerships with our customers so that we can meet your ever-demanding needs.
With more then 200-manpower years of combined experience in the Embedded module technology field, congatec is already considered a “wise old rabbit” in the industry. In fact it’s even safe to say our team has been in this industry since the very beginning. This vast amount of knowledge and experience translates directly into superior hardware, software and support for our customers. From the oldest embedded processor technology all they way up to the newest technologies, including Intel’s Pentium M processor line, congatec has the “know how” the customer needs.
When it comes to Embedded computing often the difference between one company’s product and another’s is the BIOS. The company that provides a versatile and flexible BIOS, which can be configured to meet customer’s needs quickly, will become a market leader. congatec has more than 40 manpower years of combined experience in BIOS development alone. The congatec Embedded BIOS expands the functionality of a standard BIOS allowing for our products to be implemented into many industrial uses. The customer’s application will profit directly from this BIOS know how.
Technology
XTX™ - "eXtended lifecycle for ETX®"
XTX™ is an expansion and continuation of the well-established and highly successful ETX® standard. XTX™ offers the newest I/O technologies on this proven form factor. Now that the ISA bus is being used less and less in modern embedded applications congatec will offer different features on the X2 connector then those found on the current ETX® platform. These features include new serial high speed buses like PCI Express™ and Serial ATA®. All other signals found on connectors X1, X3, and X4 will remain the same in accordance to the ETX® standard (Rev. 2.7) and therefore will be completely compatible. If the customer’s application still requires the ISA bus then a PCI-ISA bridge can be implemented on the customer specific baseboard. If this solution is too costly then the customer can use the readily available XTX™ LPC bus located the congatec board.
ETX® - Embedded Technology eXtended
This well-established open standard fits the needs of embedded applications perfectly. The ETX® Standard offers the complete PC functionality within the very compact size of 114 mm x 100 mm (4.5" x 4").
congatec Embedded BIOS
Embedded computers users usually require more than the standard functionality of an office computer. We at congatec have taken these requirements into account when designing our BIOS functionality. By drawing on the wealth of information that has been gathered as a result of more than 40 manpower years of combined experience in BIOS development, we have implemented the special requirements of an embedded BIOS into the congatec BIOS.
