1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The CoreExpress CPU board CoreExpress-ECO2 is a powerful yet v er satile processor kernel for
custom specific ba s e boards. It provides the functions of a modern standar d PC, with the interfac es
brought out on the board’s plug-in c onnectors. This allow s easy scaling of the processing power to
the application’s p er formance requirem ents.
The board confor m s to the CoreExpress specification 2.1 (by SFF-SIG) for COM (Computer On
Module), which was created to support modern chipsets w ith PCI Express in te r fa c e s .
The CoreExpress-ECO2 features an Intel® Atom™ E6xx Series Processor and an integrated graphics
and display contr oller.
Troubleshootin g is e a sy with supervis ion LEDs for status code signalization on the module.
The CoreExpress-ECO2 can optionally be used in th e extended temperature range of -40°C ...
+85°C. Using the especially designed heat spreader and a suitable c ooling concept, the module can
even be passively cooled without the n eed for a cooling fa n.
