Can CompactPCI offer me a long-term availability?

0

Yes, it can, but the question needs to be answered in two ways. The question of availability concerning the underlying future technology can clearly be answered with yes. Modules for computers will be PCI modules in the foreseeable future. Even the future distribution of serial bus systems, such as PCI Express, will not influence this fact. This reminds of those technologies whose near end was already predicted one decade ago such as the ISA bus (see PC/104) as well as discussions whether the CompactPCI bus replaces the VME bus. The second part of the question refers to whether your supplier can offer CompactPCI on a long-term basis. Besides financial stability of a company, and long-term interest to support this, the open bus approach helps here too functions can be exchanged with similar products of other suppliers, extending the scope and life-cycle.
