Qseven 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 x 70mm and have specified
pinouts based on the high speed MXM system connector that has a standardized pinout
regardless of the vendor. The Qseven module provides the functional requirements for an
embedded application. These functions include, but are not limited to, graphics, sound, mass
storage, network and multiple USB ports. A single ruggedized MXM connector provides the
carrier board interface to carry all the I/O signals to and from the Qseven module. This MXM
connector is a well known and proven high speed signal interface connector that is commonly
used for high speed PCI Express graphics cards in notebooks.
iWave Q7 carrier card incorporated with additional two 80pin expansion connectors to bring
the non standard Qseven interfaces to carrier card associated with
iWave’s Qseven CPU
modules.
