The COMX-CORE series of COM Express® modules are based on the new Intel® Core™ i5 and i7 mobile processors for high performance applications. These new processors are especially suitable for embedded applications due to their improved performance/power ratio and small form factor. This Type 6 COM Express module provides state-ofthe-art PC functionality and is designed to be plugged onto a custom carrier board to create an application-specific solution. Already widely adopted in the industrial automation and medical markets, this latest COM Express module incorporates new,functionality for improved security and management.,The COMX-CORE modules use the latest generation Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) BIOS from AMI. This manages the interaction between the low-level hardware interfaces and the OS level in a clean and efficient way that is expected to provide superior reliability, especially considering the flexibility for user I/O and option ROM on custom baseboards.,COMX-CORE modules have a wide range of interfaces to connect to standard peripherals directly or to carrier mounted I/O.These include LCD and CRT displays, SATA and USB Flash disks, PCI Express devices, USB and Gigabit Ethernet networks. Obviously some of the target applications are in locations not well suited to physical disk support and so in addition to SATA disk support, COMX-CORE modules also have the capability to use and boot from an optional eUSB flash disk, available up to 16Gb capacity.
