Latest ETX Modules are Going to Replace Obsolete Technologies

The ETX modules MSC ETE-A945GSE and MSC ETE-PV510, both based on Intel‘s® Atom™ processors, are optimally suited for replacing the predecessor generation (based on Intel® Pentium™ M or Celeron™ M), which is going to be phased out gradually.

In order to migrate existing systems to newer technology as seamlessly as possible, some important points have to be considered.  MSC has summarized these in a „White Paper“, which is ready for downloading from the internet.
