The COM Express approach of custom carrier combined with off the shelf system cores is an excellent solution when you need to customize but lack the time or quantity for a complete redesign. It fits most system integration projects with production volumes from 500 to 10,000 pcs per year. The COM Express concept has a great many advantages over full custom designs, it reduces engineering complexity, lowers the threshold for total project quantity and last but not least brings your product to the market in no time. The average time to design a carrier board is less than half the time of a full custom OEM board.
Express-BASE is a standard ATX size carrier board. Together with the COM Express module of your choice and off the shelf add-on cards you can quickly emulate the functionality of your desired end product for software development and hardware verification.
To build a functional prototype of your target system you will need:
- COM Express module
- Express-BASE carrier board
- PCI Express or PCI add on cards
- PATA / SATA storage or Flash disk solution
The Express-BASE is compatible with Basic and Compact form factor Type 2 pinout COM Express modules and accommodates up to five PCI Express x1 slots, one PCI Express Graphics x16 slot, one ExpressCard slot and two PCI slots.
