In addition to the CM-X270W, CompuLabs offers several other SBCs designed for mezzanine attachment to custom application boards through miniature high-density connectors. For example, its
ARMcore GX is based on Intel's PXA255 embedded processor.
The CM-X270W offers advanced graphics capabilities, thanks to an onboard multimedia accelerator from Intel. UK custom embedded engineering and manufacturing house Anders Electronics offers bespoke
graphical systems development on the CM-X270W.
