SMARC (‘Smart Mobility ARChitecture’) is a specification published by the Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies e.V. (SGET) for computer-on-modules (COMs).〔(''SGET team SDT.01 has passed its specification with the SMARC standard.'' ). SGET.org. Retrieved 2013-04-09.〕 SMARC Computer-on-Modules are specifically designed for the development of extremely compact low-power systems. Generally, SMARC modules are based on ARM processors, they can, however, also be fitted with other low-power SoC architectures, like, for example, ones based on x86 SoCs.〔(Initiating Coverage on SMARC Embedded COMs '' )〕 Typically, SMARC modules’ power requirement is in the range of a few watts, which opens up avenues to markets which to date could not be addressed due to processor designs with much higher power consumption.〔(– new Computer-on-Module standard for ARM/SoC designs'' )〕 Computer-on-Modules integrate the core function of a bootable computer, like SoC, as well as additional circuitry, including DRAM, boot-flash, voltage distribution, Ethernet and display transmitter. The modules are deployed together with an application-specific carrierboard, whose size and form can be defined to meet customer-specific requirements. The carrierboard executes the required interfaces and can integrate, if required, any further functionalities, such as audio codecs, touch controller, wireless communication interfaces, etc. The SMARC specification outlines both the dimensions of the module and the positioning of the anchor points as well as the connector to the carrierboard and, most importantly, the executed interfaces with the pin-out. The pin-out is optimized for ARM and low-power SoC interfaces and is distinguished from classical PC interfaces by its target-oriented focus on low-power and mobile applications. SMARC is based on the ULP-COM form factor〔(announces the release candidate of the ultra low-power module standard for ARM- and SoC-based COMs'' )〕 which was introduced by the companies Kontron and Adlink in 2011. During the specification process by the SGET the standard was renamed to SMARC. == Dimensions == SMARC defines two module sizes: * 82 mm × 50 mm for extremely compact low-power designs * 82 mm × 80 mm for SoCs with higher performance and with increased space and cooling requirement 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smart Mobility Architecture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
