User Guide XB1 COM Express Module
Short Description XB1 COM Express Module
COM Express™ (also known as ETXexpress™) is
an open PICMG® standard for Computer-OnModules, comprising of latest technologies such
as PCI Express, Serial ATA, Gigabit Ethernet and
SDVO. While designing the carrier board only
once, users profit from upgrading or scaling
their application by simply changing the CPU
module.
Alternatively equipped with the Intel series of
(LV) Pentium® M and ULV Celeron® M
processors and up to 2GB RAM, the EKF
XB1 is
a versatile COM Express basic form factor
module, designed especially for systems which
require high performance at low power
consumption.
technology and has integrated a powerful dual
screen graphics accelerator. The SDVO and VGA
video interfaces allow for attachment of digital flat
panel displays and analog monitors.
The chipset is based on PCI Express
The XB1 is provided with a Gigabit Ethernet
controller, and eight USB 2.0 ports for high speed
communication. Four Serial ATA channels are
available in addition to the legacy PATA I/F. The dual
slot DIMM socket is suitable to address up to 2GB
interleaved (symmetric) dual channel memory.
Typically, the XB1 will be combined with a custom
specific carrier board. As a basic development tool,
EKF can supply a third party evaluation carrier board.
In addition, EKF offers their design services to create
a turn-key ready customer solution.
The XB1 COM Express module is the perfect choice
for embedded applications that require a low power
standard processor at the centre of their design.
OEMs can significantly improve their flexibility and
reduce their total cost by adopting the open
standards based architecture of COM Express.
