2.1 Introduction
SECOCQ7-mITX2.0 is a carrier board, designed in mini-ITX form factor, intended for the use with
any Qseven
®
CPU modules Rel. 2.0 compliant.
Qseven
®
is a form factor, designed to minimise space consumption, since it integrates in only
70x70mm of space all core components of a common PC (CPU, RAM, Graphic, audio, etc…). All
the functionalities are made available through a standardised card edge connector, from which all
signals can be taken and carried to the appropriate external connector in the carrier board and/or
to other internal component, to implement more functionalities other than included in the standard
Qseven
®
bus interface.
The connection to the Qseven
®
board is implemented through a standardised MXM connector,
which is a proven high speed signal interface connector.
All the features implemented on SECOCQ7-mITX2.0 Carrier Board are implemented according to
Qseven
®
standard (Rel. 2.0) bus interface, so the board can be used with any Qseven
®
module
without incompatibilities and/or loss of functionalities.
Anyway, this carrier board is specifically designed to take advantage of all features introduced with
latest release of Qseven
®
specifications, such as 2 x USB 3.0 ports, dual embedded Display port,
I2S interface, also keeping the compatibility with Qseven
®
modules Rel. 1.20 compliant.
The module also gives the opportunity of fixing both standard Qseven
®
modules and
newest form
factor μQSeven
®
modules.
The board can be used both as an evaluation module, to test the functionality of your Qseven
®
module and design an application specific carrier board for it, or as a complete carrier board,
already suited for standard purposes, with a reduced space consumption.
