Abstract
This presentation explores the challenges we face as embedded designers when trying to design a long life 386- or 486-class embedded PC. Several key issues are identified and solutions are evaluated. In particular, embedded PCs based upon the Intel386 EX and Intel486 families of processors and the new RadiSys chipsets are explored. The challenges of ensuring component availability over the long-term is discussed and alternatives are reviewed. Benefits from implementing an embedded PC are shown to be real and several examples of successful Intel386 EX and Intel486 based implementations are discussed
