When using Mini-ITX boards in embedded solutions, there is often a need for customized I/O interfaces in addition to the standard PC interfaces defined by the standard. This need usually is difficult to fulfill; there are no standard methods for custom I/O except for using a PCI plug-in board. However, these boards are mechanically instable and due to their rather large size do not allow for small boxes; they are either too high or need a raiser card to be mounted horizontally above the Mini-ITX board, which doesn't help stability, either.

 

LiPPERT addresses this issue with Adaptive-IO™, a daughter-board concept based on digital interfaces like PCI Express, USB, and SDVO. It defines a board format and a suitable sturdy connector.
Adaptive-IO™ is especially well suited for applications requiring multiple channel communications. Thanks to the PCI Express lanes, it allows the simple design of specialized cards handling, for instance, several serial and/or Ethernet ports. It also opens the possibility to implement PCI Express over cable, which can be utilized to construct highly modular PC systems.
