EBX Vs. PC/104, Platform Selection Considerations
There are some remarkable synergies between EBX (Embedded Board eXpandable) and the family of PC/104 buses: PC/104, PC/104-Plus, and PCI-104. Most notably, both platforms offer flexibility and can be used as a standalone system or in a stack with other expansion boards. In addition, both platforms are appropriate for deeply embedded applications where long-term availability and high-reliability are crucial.

Embedded Board, eXpandable (EBX) Standard
Until now, embedded system designers had to choose among off-the-shelf backplane solutions, desktop motherboards, and proprietary designs. Size and power consumption constraints hampered finding the right solutions for embedded deployment. Consequently, OEMs wanting to purchase off-the-shelf equipment to shorten time-to-market were often forced to develop proprietary solutions.

Hold the mayo - Small Form Factor Standards for Embedded SBCs
this issue of SFF, Don Dingee treats us to a virtual roundtable discussion with executives from several leading SFF vendors in his article, "It's kinda like a deli, with a lot of choices" (page 14). The executives jovially retort that the best SFF mechanism (stacked, module on carrier, or cabled) is driven by the application; it's not a religious argument where "mine's best." As well, there's nearly universal agreement that a stacked module...
