Custom Single Board Computer Design
Developing today's modern PC motherboards is not a job for the inexperienced. You need to rely on good reference designs and may need extensive support. If you do not have access to the support channels or lack the time to learn all the intricacies of high speed processor and bus designs, you can rely on our experience. Not only does SDS have experience modifying reference designs, but our employees have also created reference designs for several major silicon vendors.
SDS has experience designing single board computers based on the following processor platforms:
- Pentium III
- Pentium M
- Athlon XP
- Geode LX
- Geode NX
These boards include chipsets from the following vendors:
In addition, Spectrum has strong experience with some of the most
commonly mis-understood challenges in SBC design including Power Management and ACPI.

Module Integration
SDS understands the complexities of custom SBC design and realizes it may be more efficient for your schedule and budget to use an off-the-shelf module rather than designing an X86 board from scratch. SDS works with the top module vendors to integrate pre-made solutions that will get your project to market sooner with lower development costs and lower risk.
SDS has experience with the following embedded operating systems:
- Linux, Unix, AIX
- Linux for ARM and Blackfin
- Windows CE, (CEPC/X86, ARMV4, SH3, SH4)
- Windows XP, XPembedded, 200, NT
