The PicoMOD interfaces to custom baseboards through an 80-pin connector. The company offers an evaluation baseboard that is intended to simplify development (shown above). The baseboard provides connectors for all of the PicoMOD's I/O interfaces, and also includes RS232 and Ethernet drivers, as well as an SD card slot.

The module is expected to be available for first customer shipments during May with Windows CE 5.0, and during Q3 or Q4 of this year with embedded Linux, a company spokesman said. The modules are expected to sell for less than 100 Euros in quantities greater than 100, by the end of 2006.
