…connectivity to interconnect system boards point to point with No Single Point of Failure anywhere in the system. When a backplane is used with a plug-in single-board computer (SBC) or system host board (SHB), the combination provides the same functionality as a motherboard, providing processing power, memory, I/O and slots…
The Raspberry Pi (Model 2B shown) is a low-cost single-board computer often used to teach computer science.
