1 Introduction

The COM Express approach of custom carrier combined with off the shelf system cores is an
excellent solution when you need to customize but lack the time or quantity for a complete
redesign. It fits most system integration projects with production volumes from 500 to 10,000 pcs
per year. The COM Express concept has a great many advantages over full custom designs, it
reduces engineering complexity, lowers the threshold for total project quantity and last but not
least brings your product to the market in no time. The average time to design a carrier board is
less than half the time of a full custom OEM board.

Express-BASE6 is a standard ATX size carrier board. Together with the COM Express Type 6
module of your choice and off the shelf add-on cards you can quickly emulate the functionality of
your desired end product for software development and hardware verification.

To build a functional prototype of your target system you will need:

f COM Express Type 6 module
f Express-BASE6 carrier board
f PCI Express add on cards
f SATA storage or Flash disk solution

The Express-BASE6 is compatible with Basic and Compact form factor Type 6 pinout COM
Express modules and accommodates up to three PCI Express x1 slots, one PCI Express x4 slot,
one PCI Express Graphics x16 slot and one ExpressCard slot.

The Express-BASE6 is based on the PICMG COM Express (COM.0 Rev. 2.1) specification and
ifollows the PICMG COM Express Carrier Design Guide (CDG) where possible. (see 6.3 Carrier
Board Design on page 12).

Page 7Express-BASE6 User’s Manual

2 Special Features

2.1 Primary LPC based Super I/O

COM Express modules do not have a Super I/O chip onboard as this is considered legacy.
Consequently, a Super I/O is placed on the carrier board as an optional item. The Express­BASE6 uses a Winbond W83627DHG-PT supporting COM and PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse. The
Winbond W83627DHG-PT supports a -40°C to 85°C temperature range and is pin compatible
with the W83627DHG-P.

2.2 Secondary BIOS

The Express-BASE6 supports the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for COM.0 Rev. 2.0 modules.
Selection of active BIOS can be made by jumper settings. The location of the secondary BIOS is
U55 (see 3. Component Location).

2.3 Integrated Debug Port with Single Step Execution

In addition to a two-digit POST code display, the board also provides a four-digit address display.
By jumper selection the board can be switched into single step BIOS execution mode. Steps are
executed using a manually operated onboard mini switch.

2.4 Onboard Audio

The Express-BASE6 has a Realtek ALC886 audio codec onboard. Audio I/O is provided by a six­jack connector.

2.5 Information LEDs

General information is obtained through signaling LEDs for HDD, Power and Watchdog status.
Additionally the Express-BASE6 gives information about module types being plug into the board.
See 8.2 Module Type Display on page 35 and 8.3 POST & Indicator LEDs on page 36.

2.6 Power, Reset, Lid and Sleep Switches

The Express-BASE6 is equipped four mini switches (SW1~4) for ATX Power, Reset, and COM.0
Rev.2.0 specified "Lid" and "Sleep" functions.

6.3 Carrier Board Design

The Express-BASE6 follows the PICMG COM Express Carrier Design Guide (CDG) where
possible. However, the CDG was written for COM Express Type 2 modules and currently does
not cover areas such as USB 3.0 or the newly introduced DDI channels on the new pinout of the
Type 6 CD connector. So while the CDG is still a valuable design tool, be forewarned where
signals specific to Type 6 modules are concerned. The Express-BASE6 design and schematics
are fully verified, and we recommend that you follow them as a reference for your carrier board
design.

Express-BASE6 Schematics and Mechanical files as well as the CDG for Type 2 modules can be
downloaded from the ADLINK Express-BASE6 product webpage:

CN5: ATX 12V 4-pin Connector

Connect the ATX 12V 4-pin connector to
supply power to the COM Express module.

All 12V power for the COM Express module is provided by the ATX 12V 4-pin connector.
The system will not power up if CN42 is not connected to the power supply.

To avoid damage to the carrier board and installed components, be sure to connect the
ATX power supply to the correctly connectors. See 8.5 ATX Power Connectors on page 37
for detailed information.

7 Secondary BIOS

The Express-BASE6 supports Secondary BIOS using Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for COM.0
Rev. 2.0 modules. Secondary BIOS solutions can be used as an alternative to the on-module
BIOS and provide support for the following:

f Testing new BIOS versions
f Development of firmware modifications
f Recovery if soldered BIOS on module is corrupted

Express-BASE6 User’s ManualPage 34

7.1 SPI Secondary BIOS

SPI is supported by PICMG COM.0 Rev. 2.0 to provide a Secondary BIOS for COM Express
Rev 2.0 modules that support a SPI Secondary BIOS.

To use the BIOS on the module:
f Short pins 1-2 on both JP23 and JP24.

To use the SPI BIOS on the carrier board:
f Short pins 1-2 on JP23, pins 2-3 on JP24.

Open the SPI BIOS socket and insert the
secondary BIOS flash chip.

8 Switches, POST, LEDs & Power

8.1 Mini Switches (SW1~4)

There are two mini switches at the top left corner
of the board.

SW1

The SW1 switch is the ATX Power Button.
The SW2 switch is the Reset Button.

SW2

SW3 SW4

At the top edge of the board are two more
switches.

The SW3 switch is the Sleep Button and the
SW4 switch is the Lid Button. Both buttons
support Type 6 modules for ACPI power
management behavior settings in an OS
environment.

8.2 Module Type Display

COM Express type: 1-2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or wrong pinout

To the left of the Express Card socket ,
6 mini LEDs (LED6 ~11) indicate the type
of COM Express module installed on the
Express-BASE6.

Express-BASE6 User’s ManualPage 36

8.3 POST & Indicator LEDs

An LPC based POST display is added
for debugging. The two LEDs shows the
actual POST data.

A row of mini LEDs to the left of the POST
display indicates the following:

LED1 5Vsb: ATX power attached on

standby or active

LED3 PWR: Indicates power on
LED20 HDD: Indicates hard drive activity
LED23 S3: Indicates S3 status

8.4 Digital I/O LEDs

LED12 - LED19 are indicators for the Digital
I/O connector CN41. When the I/O signal is
high, the LED will light. The I/O 0 signal
corresponds to LED19, and the I/O 7 signal
corresponds to LED12.
