Chapter 2Product Overview
This introduction presents general information about the COM Express™ architecture and the Express-HRR
Computer-on-Module (COM). After reading this chapter you should understand:
•COM Express concept
•COM Express architecture
•Express-HRR Product Description
•Express-HRR Major Components
•Express-HRR Connectors, Headers, and Sockets
•Express-HRR Specifications
COM Express Concept
COM Express is an open-industry standard, defined specifically for COM boards. Its creation provides the
ability to make a smooth transition from legacy parallel interfaces to the newest technologies based on serial
buses available today. COM Express modules are available in the following form factors:
•Mini 84mm x 55mm
•Compact 95mm x 95mm
•Basic 125mm x 95mm
•Extended 155mm x 110mm
The COM Express specification 2.0 defines seven different pinout types.
The Express-HRR utilizes the Basic form factor and the Type 6 pinout definition, featuring two high
performance connectors that ensure stable data throughput. The Type 6 pinout removes the PCI interface
signals and replaces them with DisplayPort, and HDMI display signals, thereby expanding the range of
potential video peripherals beyond the familiar VGA, LVDS, and SDVO interfaces.
The COM board integrates all core components and is mounted onto an application specific baseboard.
COM boards are legacy-free designs (no Super I/O, PS/2 keyboard, and PS/2 mouse) and provide most of
the functional requirements for any application. These functions include, but are not limited to a rich
complement of contemporary, high-bandwidth serial interfaces such as PCI Express, Serial ATA, USB 2.0,
and Gigabit Ethernet. The robust thermal and mechanical concept of the COM board, combined with
extended power management capabilities, is perfectly suited for all applications.
Express-HRRReference Manual3
Chapter 2Product Overview
Baseboard designers can utilize as little or as many of the I/O interfaces as necessary. The baseboard can
therefore provide all the interface connectors required to attach the system to the application specific
peripherals. This versatility allows the designer to create a dense and optimized package, which results in a
more reliable product while simplifying system integration. Most importantly, COM Express modules are
scalable, which means once an application has been created, the ability to diversify the product range is
possible through the use of different performance class modules. Simply unplug one module and replace it
with another. No redesign is necessary.
COM Express Architecture
The COM Express specification was developed by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturing Group
(PICMG) in close collaboration with many leading companies across the embedded industry in order to find
an implementation solution to handle upcoming new high-speed serial I/Os, processors, and chipsets. COM
Express specifies four form factors, as well as seven different types of connector pinouts.
The four form factors are referred to as Mini, Compact, Basic, and Extended. The Mini form factor targets
battery powered, mobile, and handheld system designs and features a footprint of just 84mm x 55mm. The
Compact form factor is 95mm x 95mm, designed to match the requirements of small applications. The Basic
module footprint is 125mm x 95mm and focuses on space-constrained, low power systems which typically
do not contain more than one horizontal mounted SODIMM. The Extended footprint is slightly larger at
155mm x 110mm and supports up to two full-size, vertically mounted DIMM modules to accommodate
larger memory configurations for high-performance CPUs, chipsets, and multiprocessor systems. The
placement of the shielded 220-pin connectors and the mounting holes are identical between these four
footprints.

Chapter 2Product Overview
Product Description
The Express-HRR is an exceptionally high integration, high performance, rugged Intel Core™ i7 processor
based system compatible with the COM Express standard. This rugged and high quality module system
contains all the component subsystems of an ATX motherboard.
The Intel Core i7 incorporates a multi processor core with an integrated Graphics Memory Hub (GMH),
providing a high-performance processor, a memory controller for up to 16GB of SODIMM memory, and a
graphics controller for LVDS, VGA, PCI Express graphics (PEG), SDVO, DisplayPort, and HDMI signals
driven by the PCH.
The Intel BD82QM67 chipset provides controllers for the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) featuring
eight USB 2.0 ports, four SATA ports, eight GPIO ports, and one Gigabit Ethernet interface (external
magnetics required).
Expansion for additional system functions is possible on the Express-HRR through the PCIe and LPC
expansion buses. The PCIe and LPC buses operate at clock speeds of 100MHz and 33MHz, respectively.
The Express-HRR is particularly well suited for either embedded or portable applications and meets the size,
power consumption, temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded system applications.
