1. Introduction
The Express-BD7 is a COM Express® COM.0 R3.0 Basic Size Type 7 module supporting the 64-bit Intel® Xeon®
processor D and Intel® Pentium® D processor system-on-chip (SoC) ( formerly “Broadwell-DE”). The Express-BD7
is specifically designed for customers who need excellent computing performance with balanced power
consumption and multiple 10G Ethernet connectivity in a long product life solution.
The Express-BD7 features Intel® Virtualization Technology (including VT-x, VT-d, EPT), Intel® Hyper-Threading
Technology (up to 16 cores, 32 threads), Intel® Trusted Execution Technology, Intel® AES-NI Technology, and
DDR4 ECC (or non-ECC) dual-channel memory at 1866/2133/2400 MHz (dependent on SoC SKU) to provide
excellent overall performance.
An integrated Intel® 10G Ethernet controller supports two 10GBASE-KR interfaces, relevant sideband signals and
NC-SI. The Express-BD7 is designed to serve customers with optimized computing capability per watt and high
speed connectivity requirements who want to outsource the custom core logic of their systems for reduced
development time.
The Express-BD7 has dual stacked SODIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of DDR4 ECC (or non-ECC) memory.
Input/output features include 24 PCIe Gen3 lanes, up to 8 PCIe Gen2 lanes, a single onboard Gigabit Ethernet port,
USB 3.0/2.0 ports, and SATA 6 Gb/s ports. Support is provided for SMBus and I2C. The module is equipped with
SPI AMI EFI BIOS with CMOS backup, supporting embedded features such as remote console, hardware monitor,
and watchdog timer.
