When to use SMARC modules in your project
El continuo avance en el desarrollo de procesadores y la sucesiva aparición de nuevas y mejores interfaces condicionan la vida de los estándares cuando a módulos embebidos nos referimos. La evolución tanto de la tecnología como de los requerimientos técnicos de los proyectos, ¿justificarían la proliferación de desarrollos basados en SMARC en lugar de otros estándares más asentados? ¿En qué casos puede ser sin lugar a duda SMARC la opción recomendable para un proyecto? Estas y otras preguntas serán el foco principal de este whitepaper.
The continuous advance in the develpment of the processors and the subsequent new and improved interfaces condition the life and the standards regarding embeded modules. The evolution of the technology and the technical requirements of the projects, would they justify the proliferation of the develpments based on SMARC instead of other standards more established? In which cases can SMARC be the recommendable option for a project? This and other questions will be the main focus of this whitepaper (in Spanish).

Matrix Electrónica at Rail Live! 2019
A new edition of Rail Live! is coming from March 5th to 7th in the Exhibition Centre in Bilbao, where more than 150 exhibitors will show the innovations that are transforming the railway industry, which is in constant change.
During those days Matrix Electrónica will present the MTX-RailStar, a new connectivity proposal specifically designed for railway and transportation applications. This industrial router is still in testing mode. It has railway certification EN50155, as well as E13/ISO7637 (vehicles), and IEC60945 (marine). It will feature communications thanks to our integrated module MTX-miniPCIe-Cefiro, and with the powerful software MTX-Titan with advanced functionalities such as DHCP server, NAT, CSD call manager, gateways from 4G to RS232/USB, external sensors dataloggers, DynDNS/NoIP client, remote firmware upgrade, among others. In combination with Cervello IoT platform, this complete equipment is ideal for any transportation solution. You can get more detailed information about these devices on our Rail Live! stand.
In our space we will also feature some of our represented brands like Axiomtek, with its equipments for the transportation and railway industry, and Congatec, with all its modules. We will also feature all the equipments and modules from Advantech, as well as TQ modules and ATP memories.
During the event there will be more than 3000 visitors that will be able to chose from 3 high level conferences and 300 international speakers from Renfe, Adif, Transport of London and Metro Taipei among others. The conference will last 3 days and will focus on giving innovative solutions to the industry through the new technologies. The exhibition is free and will take place during the last 2 days, March 6th and 7th.
Don’t miss this key appointment, we’ll wait for you at the stand B-78.

ATP INDUSTRIAL SD CARDS
Being a leading provider of NAND and DRAM flash memory module solutions with high performance, superior quality and durability, ATP has a series of industrial SD cards at the head of the market.
With reliable performance in any environment, these reinforced flash products are designed to work constantly in conditions of extreme temperatures, shock, vibration and humidity. Its SIP (System-in-Packaging) manufacturing process, encapsulates all exposed components and points of failure to ensure that the products are fully waterproof (IEC 60529 IPX7), dustproof (IEC 60529 IP6X), shockproof, and ESD (electrostatic discharge). The memories can withstand an extended temperature range from -40ºC to +85ºC.
ATP SD/SDHC/SDXC industrial cards are designed for applications in demanding sectors such as automotive, healthcare, aviation, where there is critical data that requires the highest level of reliability, duration, and data integrity. SD/uSD and CF cards are available in different NAND Type configurations (MLC, SLC and SLC mode).
All ATP products come with a fixed BOM policy, which will guarantee the very same product over the entire lifespan until it becomes EOL.
Industrial Micro SD
Within the family of industrial SD cards, the ATP micro SD has multiple features for industrial applications such as military, automotive, marine, aviation, etc. Their MTBF (meantime between failures) at 25°C is 5,000,000 hours, and it has capacities from 512MB to 64GB.
Industrial Compact Flash
Another kind of cards within the ATP SD series is the Compact Flash. Its S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) functionality controls different resistance and reliability parameters, signaling activity outside the normal range. This information helps predict storage errors to take preventive measures. Their MTBF (meantime between failures) at 25 ° C is 2,000,000 hours, and it has capacities from 512MB to 32GB.
New Knowledge Center
The new Knowledge Base is here. This new website tool, allows any user to access in a simple and intuitive way to all the MTX software manuals indexed contents:
- MTX-Titan: firmware built-in in all the MTX-Router-Titan family devices.
- MTX-Tunnel: optional firmware compatible will all MTX modems, turning them into powerful 4G/3G/2G gateways (coming soon).
The MTX website Knowledge Base is a functionality that will grow as more contents are added. Right now it has all the contents of the manuals of the Titan and Tunnel, and soon it will feature all the application notes. Its biggest perk are the internal links within the content, that allow to easily navigate the different sections. In addition, there’s a table of contents on the right column, so the user can go to a different section without the need to go back. This tool is specifically made to help users with questions about MTX software, so they can easily find answers.
You can access to the Knowledge Base from the main menu “SUPPORT.” You can also have a look on the following link.
