PICMG, a not-for-profit 501(c) consortium of companies and organizations that collaboratively develop open specifications, will have a booth at Embedded World to display seven embedded computer architecture types with product examples from 24 companies.

The architectures featured in the PICMG booth include COM Express, CompactPCI Serial, CompactPCI Serial Space®, MicroTCA/AMC, AdvancedTCA, CompactPCI, and SHB Express. PICMG will also have information on its new Industrial IoT initiative. A white paper on the organization’s vision for new IIoT specifications will be available in the booth.

PICMG is a not-for-profit 501(c) consortium of companies and organizations that collaboratively develop open standards for high performance industrial, military/aerospace, telecommunications, test/measurement, medical, and general purpose embedded computing applications.

There are over 150 member companies that specialize in a wide range of technical disciplines, including mechanical and thermal design, single board computer design, very high speed signaling design and analysis, networking expertise, backplane and packaging design, power management, High Availability software, and comprehensive system management.

Founded in 1994, PICMG’s original mission was to extend the PCI standard to non-desktop applications. The formal name of the organization is the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group.

Key standards families developed by PICMG include CompactPCI, AdvancedTCA, MicroTCA, AdvancedMC, CompactPCI Serial, COM Express, SHB Express, and HPM (Hardware Platform Management).
