Rugged isn’t an “if” with this SBC

A credit card for embedded apps
It’s not a credit card, but it’s the same size as one. Indeed, Artila Embedded Computing & Communications’ M-502 System-on-Module (SOM) measures a mere 50 x 80 mm … perfect to pull out of an engineer’s arsenal and slide into an industrial application such as e...
