Intel is also releasing today the Compute Card Device Design Kit, a set of guides and reference designs that contain the information a device developer will need to create a product that supports an Intel Compute Card. The guides are available today via Intel’s Classified Design Information (CDI) portal for any customer under NDA, and the reference design are available upon request.
The Intel Compute Card is a modular computing platform with all the elements of a full computer, including Intel SoC, memory, storage and wireless connectivity with flexible I/O options. It is slightly longer than a credit card at 95mm x 55mm x 5mm and can plug into a dock. (Credit: Intel Corporation).
