1 Product Overview
1.1 Description
The Q7-BT Computer-On-Module (COM) combines the Qseven
®
2.0 standard with the Intel
®
Atom™ E3800 series System-on-Chip (SoC), providing an ideal solution for mid-range power
and high, pin/area density requirements. The module provides the high integration, high perfor-
mance, low power, and ruggedness favored by Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications such as
retail transactional clients, digital signage, and in-vehicle infotainment systems.
The Qseven form factor affords a more compact profile and footprint than the other COM plat-
forms. With mechanical dimensions as small as 70mm width, 70mm length, and 2.3mm of over-
all height, Qseven ranks as the smallest COM standard currently available.
The Q7-BT module utilizes the E3800 SoC for contemporary, high-bandwidth interfaces such as
PCI Express, USB, Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, and HD Audio. The module generates its own
LVDS, TMDS, and DisplayPort video signals using DDI output from the SoC.
A series of optional eMMC devices offers up to 64GB of on-board NAND Flash storage with an
MMC interface, and an optional SATA, Solid State Drive (SSD) provides up to 64GB of on-board
NAND Flash storage. Two SPI Flash chips implement a fail-safe BIOS, allowing the user to boot
the module even if current BIOS settings have corrupted the system.
Under the management of the BMC chip (Board Management Controller), the SEMA utility
(Smart Embedded Management Agent) provides system control, security, and failure protec-
tion—counting, monitoring, and measuring hardware and software events, and using the
SMBus to send corrective commands to the SoC. The optional SEMA Cloud utility not only con-
trols local events on the module but system client events on the IoT.
