PICMG 1.3

PICMG 1.3 is a PICMG specification which is commonly referred to as SHB Express.

SHB Express is a modernization of PICMG 1.0 single-board computer specification.

SHB Express, or System Host Board – Express, uses the same physical form factor as PICMG 1.0 boards.

The board-to-backplane interfaces are PCI Express instead of PCI and ISA, although the use of PCI remains as an option.
