PICMG
The PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group , or PICMG for short, is a consortium of over 220 companies that work together to develop patent-free specifications for high-performance telecommunications and industrial applications. Most of the members of the consortium are pioneers of new technologies and can look back on many years of development experience in their industries.
The consortium was founded in 1994 with the task of further developing the PCI interface standard and establishing it in new markets. Guidelines for open computer architectures in the industrial, telecommunications and military sectors are currently being drawn up and introduced. These specifications include AdvancedTCA , AdvancedMC , MicroTCA , COM Express , and CompactPCI . They define form factors of the assemblies and computer buses.
The following standards are approved:
PICMG 1.0 PCI / ISA PICMG 1.1 PCI / ISA bridging PICMG 1.2 PCI only PICMG 1.3 SHB Express PICMG 2.0 CompactPCI PICMG 2.1 CompactPCI hot swap PICMG 2.2 CompactPCI VME64x PICMG 2.3 CompactPCI PMC I / O PICMG 2.4 CompactPCI IP I / O PICMG 2.5 CompactPCI Telephony PICMG 2.7 Dual CompactPCI PICMG 2.9 CompactPCI management PICMG 2.10 CompactPCI keying PICMG 2.11 CompactPCI Power Interface PICMG 2.12 CompactPCI hot swap PICMG 2.14 CompactPCI multicomputing PICMG 2.15 CompactPCI Telecom PMC PICMG 2.16 CompactPCI Packet Switching Backplane (PSB) PICMG 2.17 CompactPCI Starfabric PICMG 2.18 CompactPCI RapidIO PICMG 2.20 CompactPCI Serial Mesh PICMG 2.30 CompactPCI PlusIO CPCI-S.0 CompactPCI Serial EXP.0 CompactPCI Express PICMG 3.0 AdvancedTCA Base PICMG 3.1 AdvancedTCA Ethernet PICMG 3.2 AdvancedTCA InfiniBand PICMG 3.3 AdvancedTCA StarFabric PICMG 3.4 AdvancedTCA PCI Express PICMG 3.5 AdvancedTCA RapidIO PICMG 3.8 AdvancedTCA Rear Transition Module AMC.0 AdvancedMC mezzanine modules AMC.1 AdvancedMC PCI Express and AS AMC.2 AdvancedMC Ethernet AMC.3 AdvancedMC Storage AMC.4 AdvancedMC Serial RapidIO IRTM.0 Intelligent Rear Transition Module SFP.0 System fabric plane SFP.1 iTDM COM.0 COM Express Computer-on-Module CDG COM Design Guide MTCA.0 MicroTCA MTCA.1 Air-cooled rugged MicroTCA MTCA.2 Hybrid Air / Conduction Cooled MicroTCA MTCA.3 Hardened conduction-cooled MicroTCA MTCA.4 MicroTCA Enhancements for Rear I / O and Precision Timing HPM.1 Hardware Platform Management IPM Controller Firmware Upgrade HPM.2 LAN-attached IPM controller HPM.3 DHCP - Assigned Platform Management
