Qseven SOM Overview
The Qseven concept is an off-the-shelf, multi-vendor, Single-Board-Computer that integrates all the core
components of a common PC and is mounted onto an application specific carrier board. Qseven modules have a
standardized form factor of 70mm x70mm and have specified pin outs based on the high speed MXM system
connector that has a standardized pin out regardless of the vendor. A single ruggedized MXM connector provides the
carrier board interface to carry all the I/O signals to and from the Qseven module.
