Chapter 2 Product 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.

Table 2-1. COM Express Pin-out Types

Types Connector Rows PCI Express Lanes PCI IDE Channels LAN ports

Type 1 A-B Up to 6 1

Type 2 A-B C-D Up to 22 32 bit 1 1

Type 3 A-B C-D Up to 22 32 bit 3

Type 4 A-B C-D Up to 32 1 1

Type 5 A-B C-D Up to 32 3

Type 6 A-B C-D Up to 24 1

Type 10 A-B Up to 4 1

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-HRR Reference Manual 3

Chapter 2 Product 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 2 Product 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.

COM Express A-B Connector

This section provides descriptions of interfaces within the COM Express A-B connector. The COM Express
connector interface comprises two identical 220-pin connectors (A-B and C-D). The COM Express A-B
connector provides the following features:

• LPC interface

• SATA interface

• USB interface

• Power interface

• Power Management

• Video interfaces

• HD Audio interface

• Gigabit Ethernet interface

• I²C interface

• PCI Express

• SMBus

• GPIO

LPC Interface

The Express-HRR offers the LPC (Low Pin Count) bus through the Intel® BD82QM67 (PCH). Many
devices already exist for this Intel defined bus. The LPC bus corresponds approximately to a serialized ISA
bus yet with a significantly reduced number of signals. Because of the software compatibility to the ISA bus,
I/O extensions such as additional serial ports can be easily implemented on an application specific baseboard
using this bus.

SATA Interface

Four Serial ATA connections are provided through the Intel BD82QM67 (PCH). SATA is an enhancement
of parallel ATA therefore offering higher performance. As a result of this enhancement, the traditional
restrictions of parallel ATA are overcome with respect to speed and EMI. SATA starts with a transfer rate of

1.5 Gb/s and can be expanded up to 3Gb/s on all ports and up to 6 Gb/s on SATA0 and SATA1 in order to
accommodate future developments. SATA is completely protocol and software compatible to parallel ATA.

USB Interface

The PCH offers four UHCI USB host controllers and two EHCI USB host controllers. These controllers
comply with USB standard 1.1 and 2.0 and offer a total of eight USB ports through connector A-B. All ports
are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. The port routing logic determines whether a USB port is
controlled by one of the UHCI controllers or by one of the EHCI controllers.

Power Interface

A 12V voltage rail on both A-B and C-D COM Express connectors accepts the voltages required for the
board. The RTC 3.3V battery feed and 5V standby functions draw power through the A-B connector.

22 Reference Manual Express-HRR

Chapter 3 Hardware

Power Management

The Express-HRR is ACPI 4.0a compliant. The board supports S0, S1, S3, S4, and S5 sleep states.

NOTE Winbond-based baseboards do not support the S3 sleep state on the

Express-HRR.

Video Interfaces

VGA

The Express-HRR graphics are driven by an Intel internal graphics interface which provides the interface for
an analog display. A 340-MHz integrated, 32-bit RAM-based, Digital-to-Analog Converter (RAMDAC)
converts up to 2048x1536 digital pixels at a maximum refresh rate of 75-Hz. Three 8-bit DACs provide R,
G, B signals to the monitor.

LVDS

The Intel BD82QM67 PCH provides direct LVDS output. The output is independent of other panel
interfaces. The LVDS interface will support 1 or 2 channels and can support four data pairs and one clock
pair of LVDS (18 or 24-bit) in each channel.

Audio Interface

The High Definition (HD) Audio controller resides in the PCH and communicates with external codec(s)
(such as audio and modem codecs) over the Intel HD Audio serial link. The PCH implements a single Serial
Data Output signal (AC/HDA_SDOUT) that is connected to all external codecs. Four Serial Digital Input
signals (AC/HDA_SDIN) support up to four codecs.

Ethernet Interface

The Express-HRR supports one Gigabit Ethernet interface, which can be enabled in BIOS Setup. The
Ethernet interface is implemented from the 82579LM Ethernet transceiver and occupies PCI Express port 8.
The Ethernet function supports multi-speed operation 10/100/1000 Mbps and operates in full-duplex at all
supported speeds or half duplex at 10/100 Mbps while adhering to the IEEE 802.3x flow control
specification.

I²C™ Bus

The I²C bus is implemented through the use of the Atmel ATmega168 board controller. The board controller
provides a Fast Mode (400kHz max.) multi-master I²C bus that has maximum I²C bandwidth. Use the
ADLINK Intelligent Device Interface (AIDI) Library for access to the I²C bus. AIDI driver information is
available on the COM Express Product page at: http://www.adlinktech.com
the AIDI User’s Manual describing how to use the I²C bus also reside in the Utilities areas of the COM
Express Product page.

PCI Express

™

The Express-HRR offers six (6) PCI Express x1 ports (ports 1-6) through the COM Express A-B connector
and two PCI Express x1 ports (ports 7-8) through the C-D connector. These ports can be configured to
support PCI Express edge cards or ExpressCards. Each x1 port supports up to 5 GT/s bandwidth in each
direction. Ports 1-4 and ports 5-8 can be independently configured as four x1s, two x2s, one x2 and two x1s,
or one x4 port widths. The eighth x1 port (port 8) is utilized by the onboard Gigabit Ethernet transceiver and
is unavailable as a PCIe port. The PCI Express interface is based on the PCI Express Specification 2.0.

System Management Bus (SMBus)

The I/O Hub (PCH) contains an integrated SMBus controller with both a host and slave SMBus port; but the
host cannot access the slave internally. The slave port allows an external master access to the PCH through
the COM Express A-B connector. Table 3-4 lists the device names and corresponding reserved addresses on
the SMBus.

Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer (WDT) restarts the system if a mishap occurs, ensuring proper start-up after the
interruption. Possible problems include failure to boot properly, the application software’s loss of control,
failure of an interface device, unexpected conditions on the bus, or other hardware or software malfunctions.
Use the ADLINK Intelligent Device Interface (AIDI) Library to configure the WDT interface. AIDI driver
information is available on the COM Express Product page at: http://www.adlinktech.com
program and the AIDI User’s Manual showing how to use the WDT function also reside in the Utilities areas
of the COM Express Product page.

The WDT (Watchdog Timer) can be used both during the boot process and during normal system operation.

. An AIDI demo

• During the Boot process – If the OS fails to boot in the time interval set in the BIOS, the system will

reset.

Enable the WDT in the Custom Configuration Screen of BIOS Setup. Set the WDT for a time-out
interval in seconds, between 1 and 255, in one second increments. Ensure you allow enough time for the
boot process to complete and for the OS to boot. The OS or application must tickle the WDT as soon as
it comes up. This can be done by accessing the hardware directly or through a BIOS call.

• During System Operation – The user can set up the WDT hardware through a BIOS call or by accessing

the hardware directly using the AIDI Library. The BIOS call must tickle the WDT in the time set when
the WDT is initialized or the system will be reset.

• Watchdog Code example – ADLINK provides a source code example (AIDI demo program) on the

Express-HRR Product page of the web site illustrating how to control the WDT. The code example can
be easily copied to your development environment to compile and test or make any desired changes
before compiling.

TPM (Trusted Platform Module)

The Express-HRR provides a hardware chip called a Trusted Platform Module which is dedicated for
security functions. Trusted Computing is an industry standard created for personal computer security. The
BIOS allows you to enable or disable the TPM.

Hardware Voltage and Temperature Monitor

The Express-HRR provides a hardware monitor to ensure the health of your embedded system with built-in
support for monitoring and control of system temperatures, fan speeds, and critical module voltage levels.
The AIDI Library provides simple APIs at the application level to support these functions and adds alarm
functions when voltage or temperature levels exceed the upper or lower limits set by the user. AIDI driver
information for the Express-HRR is available on the COM Express Product page at:

http://www.adlinktech.com

Hardware Monitor also reside in the Utilities areas of the COM Express Product page.

Introduction

This section assumes the user is familiar with general BIOS Setup and does not attempt to describe the BIOS
functions. Refer to BIOS Setup Menus in this chapter for a map of the BIOS Setup settings. If ADLINK has
added to or modified any of the standard BIOS functions, these functions will be described.

Entering BIOS Setup (VGA Display)

To enter BIOS Setup using a VGA display for the Express-HRR:

1. Turn on the VGA monitor and the power supply to the Express-HRR.

2. Start Setup by pressing the [Del] key, when the following message appears on the boot screen.

Hit <Del> if you want to run SETUP

3. Use the <Enter> key to select the screen menus listed in the Opening BIOS screen.

4. Follow the instructions at the bottom of each screen to navigate through the selections and modify any
settings.

OEM Logo Screen (Splash Screen)

The Express-HRR BIOS supports a graphical logo screen, which can be customized by the user and
displayed when enabled through the BIOS Setup Utility. The graphical image can be a company logo or any
custom image the user wants to display during the POST process.

NOTE The Quiet Boot feature must be set to Enabled in the Boot settings of BIOS Setup for

the system to recognize the OEM Logo Screen.

Logo Image Requirements

Please contact your ADLINK Sales Representative for more information on OEM Logo Screen
requirements.
