3.5. Processor Support
The ECX-BYT is designed to support Intel® Bay Trail SoC Processors. The BGA CPU is remounted from factory. Kontron has defined the board versions as listed in the following table, so far all based on Embedded CPUs. Other versions are expected at a later date.
Table 4: Processor Support
Name Core # Speed Turbo Embedded Cache Socket TDP Tj
Celeron® J1900 4 2.00 GHz 2.42 GHz Yes 2M FCBGA1170 10 W 105 °C
Atom™ E3845 4 1.91 GHz - Yes 2M FCBGA1170 10 W -40 °C ~ 110 °C
Atom™ E3825 2 1.33 GHz - Yes 1M FCBGA1170 6 W -40 °C ~ 110 °C
Celeron® N2807 2 1.58 GHz 2.16 GHz Yes 1M FCBGA1170 4.3 W 105 °C
Sufficient cooling must be applied to the CPU in order to remove the effect as listed as TDP (Thermal Design Power) in above table. The sufficient cooling is also depending on the worst case maximum ambient operating temperature and the actual worst case load of processor.
3.6. System Memory Support
The ECX-BYT has one DDR3L SO-DIMM socket. The sockets support the following memory features:
1x DDR3L SO-DIMM 204-pin Up to 4GB (for model with Celeron® N2807) Up to 8GB (for other models) SPD timing supported ECC not supported
The installed DDR3L SO-DIMM should support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read and configure the memory controller for optimal performance. If non-SPD memory is used, the BIOS will attempt to configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted, or the board may not be able to boot totally.
3.6.1. Memory Operating Frequencies
In all modes, the frequency of system memory is the lowest frequency of all the memory modules placed in the system. Each memory module's frequency can be determined through the SPD registers on the memory modules.
The table below lists the resulting operating memory frequencies based on the combination of SO-DIMMs and processor.
Table 5: Memory Operating Frequencies
SO-DIMM Type Module Name Memory Data

Memory modules have in general a much lower longevity than embedded motherboards, and therefore EOL of modules can be expected several times during lifetime of the motherboard.
As a minimum it is recommend using Kontron memory modules for prototype system(s) in order to prove stability of the system and as for reference.
For volume production you might request to test and qualify other types of RAM. In order to qualify RAM it is recommend configuring 3 systems running RAM Stress Test program in heat chamber at 60° C for a minimum of 24 hours.
3.7. On-board Graphics Subsystem
The ECX-BYT supports Intel® HD Graphics technology for high quality graphics capabilities. All ECX-BYT versions support two displays pipes.
Up to two displays can be used simultaneously and be used to implement independent or cloned display configuration.
Table 6: Two-displays Configurations
Display 1 Display 2 Max. Resolution (Px) at 60 Hz
Display 1 Display 2
LVDS HDMI 1920x1200 1920x1080
LVDS VGA 1920x1200 2560x1600
HDMI VGA 1920x1080 2560x1600
3.8. Power Supply
In order to ensure safe operation of the board, the input power supply must monitor the supply voltage and shut down if the supply is out of range – refer to the actual power supply specification. Please note, in order to keep the power consumption to a minimal level, boards do not implement a guaranteed minimum load. In some cases, this can lead to compatibility problems with ATX power supplies that require a minimum load to stay in regulation. The ECX­BYT board must be powered through the ATX+12V-4p (4-pole) connector using standard ATX power supply.
ATX12V supply: ATX+12V-4p connector must be used in according to the ATX12V PSU standard.
Hot Plugging power supply is not supported. Hot plugging might damage the board.
The requirements to the supply voltages are as follows:
Table 7: Supply Voltages
Supply Min. Max. Note
+12 V 11.4 V 12.6 V Should be ±5% for compliance with the ATX specification

The ECX-BYT is provided with a Kontron-customized, pre-installed and configured version of AMI Aptio® V uEFI BIOS. AMI BIOS firmware is based on the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification and the Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI. This uEFI BIOS provides a variety of new and enhanced functions specifically tailored to the hardware features of the ECX-BYT.
The uEFI BIOS comes with a setup program that provides quick and easy access to the individual function settings for control or modification of the uEFI BIOS configuration. The setup program allows the accessing of various menus that provide functions or access to sub-menus with more specific functions of their own.
To start the uEFI BIOS setup program, follow the steps below:
1. Power on the board.
2. Wait until the first characters appear on the screen (POST messages or splash screen).
3. Press the <DEL> key.
4. If the uEFI BIOS is password-protected, a request for password will appear. Enter either the User Password or the
Supervisor Password (see Security menu), press <RETURN>, and proceed with step 5.
5. A setup menu will appear. The ECX-BYT uEFI BIOS setup program uses a hot key-based navigation system. A hot key legend bar is located on the bottom of the setup screens.
