Computer-on-module

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A computer-on-module (COM) is a type of single-board computer (SBC). The COM module is a complete computer built on a single circuit board. The design is centered on a single microprocessor with RAM, input/output and all other features needed to be a functional computer on the one board. However, unlike a single-board computer, the COM module will usually lack the standard connectors for any input/output peripherals to be attached directly to the board. Instead, the wiring for these peripherals are brought out to pin-headers on the board. The module will usually need to be mounted on a baseboard which has the standard peripheral connectors.
