What are the advantages of using Medallion CPU Modules?

All modules are pin-compatible for most features, so it is possible to prototype HW and develop SW on the slow devices and then switch Medallions to the faster ones for production.
You also have the flexibility of offering different models with difference performance specs at different prices.
And, of course, you gain the advantage of never having to worry about a CPU becoming obsolete because you can upgrade over time to the latest processors.
We will be releasing at least one new Medallion module every year.

If you're looking at low-power Linux single-board computers you'll find that ours offer several advantages over many others:

• Basically, we don't have "external I/O" connectors on the boards ... we don't try to force a form-factor on you!
• Our devices have very low power consumption.
• They won't need heatsinks or fans. (saving space and cost).
• At 4 square inches, they are VERY small.
• The board-to-board spacing is variable from 5mm to 16mm, so you can add lots of circuitry between boards without wasting space.
• They were the first with USB HOST and FUNCTION ports.
• They are attractively priced compared to the competition...
• ...especially when you consider all the extra, bundled HW and SW features.
• They are supported by experienced engineers who develop real products, just like you do!
