- About COM and SOM from MEN Micro
- System-On-Modules (SOM), or Computer-On-Modules (COM), are complete computers on a plug-on module. Configuring the I/O on an individual carrier board tailors the functionality to the application, saves costs and shortens time-to-market. Using a SOM has many benefits. While being very compact and highly integrated, even complex CPUs, including multi-core technology, can be realized on a System-on-Module. Since the pure CPU...

- Computer-on-module @ Wikipedia
- A computer-on-module (COM) is a type of single-board computer (SBC), a subtype of an embedded computer system. It is also called System on Module (SOM) as an extension of the concept of System on Chip (SoC) and lying between a full-up computer and a microcontroller in nature. Today's COM/SOM modules are complete computers built on a single circuit board. The design is centered on a single microprocessor with RAM, input/output controllers...

- ETX (form factor) from Wikipedia
- ETX, standing for Embedded Technology eXtended, computer-on-module (COM) is a highly integrated and compact (3.7 x 4.4 in.) (95 x 114 mm) that can be used in a design application much like an integrated circuit component. Each ETX COM integrates core CPU and memory functionality, the common I/O of a PC/AT (serial, parallel, etc.), USB, audio, graphics, and Ethernet. All I/O signals as well as a full implementation of ISA and PCI buses are...
