RadiSys has announced the introduction of a family of comprehensive COM-Express design starter kits that aim to streamline product development. Manufacturers of equipment for imaging, industrial-automation, gaming, and test & measurement applications can now obtain the hardware they need for COM-Express prototyping by using a single order code. The kits are optimised to reduce installation requirements and shorten the amount of time design teams need to get development underway, helping to control pre-market cost and time requirements. Each kit provides a COM-Express module of choice, pre-assembled with memory and heatsink, and integrated onto a development carrier board featuring a hard-disk drive and the necessary cables. No additional accessories are required, which reduces the time and complexity of creating a development system.
