Reference Carrier Board Updated To Newest PICMG Guide

The latest version of the Express-Base Reference Carrier Board is fully compatible with the recently released PICMG COM Express Carrier Design Guide. Express-BASE is a reference carrier board for Basic Form Factor Type 2 COM Express modules in standard ATX size. The board allows system designers to emulate the functionality of the desired end product with their chosen COM Express module and get a head start on software development and hardware verification. The new version provides a full complement of I/O interfaces, debugging tools, and peripheral devices (such as Super I/O and an audio codec) that may be required on the custom carrier board. The full schematic and mechanical drawings of the Express-BASE are available for download from the company’s website (as is the PICMG COM Express Carrier Design Guide). Also available is a complete Starter Kit, which includes the COM Express module of choice (including CPU and memory), the Express-BASE reference carrier board, a thermal solution, documentation, and a software library.
