The CoreExpress-ECO is a Computer on Module (COM) implementation in a 58 mm x 65 mm format. It is based on the CoreExpress specification, a no-compromise new development that leaves the traditional PC interfaces behind. CoreExpress modules are legacy-free, meaning they come with digital interfaces only; when an application requires analog signals, these can easily be implemented on the carrier board. The tiny module size stems from today's advanced chip technology that not only reduces the required space but also allows for very low power processors.
The low power requirements lead to minimum cooling efforts, decreasing the total dimensions further, when compared to existing solutions. CoreExpress-ECO utilizes an Intel Atom processor and related system controller hub. The processor's advanced micro-architecture retains the popular X86 programming model. Multiple threads improve responsiveness delivering a better user experience.
The computer module comes complete with up to 1 GB of SDDR2 RAM soldered to the board, graphics, MPEG2/4 support, LVDS and SDVO display ports, as well as HD audio streams. Two PCI Express lanes are available for external I/O and graphics. There are eight USB 2.0 ports, IDE, SDIO/MMC interface, SMBus, and LPC bus available for even further expansion. All these signals are made available on a tiny 220 pin connector.
CoreExpress-ECO features the LiPPERT Enhanced Management Technology (LEMT) based on an integrated system management controller (SMC). It handles the power sequencing, additional other management tasks, and provides a protected flash area for miscellaneous user information. A starter kit is available to assist in the development of customer designed carriers. It contains a CoreExpress-ECO module on an EPIC carrier board. Additionally a "best practices" manual is included detailing how to design an application specific carrier board for the CoreExpress-ECO. All necessary cables and full documentation are also included in the kit. Windows, QNX and Linux will be among the supported operating systems.
