The CoreExpress-ECO is a Computer on Module (COM) implementation in a
58 mm x 65 mm format. It is based on the CoreExpress specification, a no-compro-
mise new development that leaves the traditional PC interfaces behind.
CoreExpress modules are legacy-free, meaning they come with digital interfaces only;
when an application requires analog signals, these can easily be implemented on the
carrier board. The tiny module size stems from today’s advanced chip technology that
not only reduces the required space but also allows for very low power processors.
The low power requirements lead to minimum cooling efforts, decreasing the total di-
mensions further, when compared to existing solutions.
The CoreExpress-ECO utilizes an
Intel
Atom
processor and related Intel System Con-
troller Hub US15W. The processor’s advanced micro-architecture retains the popular
X86 programming model. Multiple threads improve responsiveness delivering a better
user experience.
The computer module comes completely with up to 2 GB of SDDR2 RAM soldered to
the board, graphics, MPEG2/4 support, LVDS and SDVO display ports, as well as
HD audio streams. Two PCI Express lanes are available for external I/O and graphics.
There are eight USB 2.0 ports, IDE, SDIO/MMC interface, SMBus, and LPC bus avail-
able for even further expansion. All these signals are made available on a tiny 220 pin
connector.
CoreExpress-ECO features the LiPPERT Enhanced Management Technology (LEMT)
based on an integrated system management controller (SMC). It handles the power
sequencing and other housekeeping tasks, and provides a protected flash area for
miscellaneous user information.
An Developer’s kit is available to assist in the development of customer designed car-
riers. It contains a CoreExpress-ECO module on an EPIC carrier board, a LCD module
and power supply. Additionally, a “best practices” manual is included, detailing how to
design an application specific carrier board for the CoreExpress-ECO. All necessary
cables and full technical documentation are also included in the kit.
Supported operating systems are Windows, VxWorks, QNX, and Linux.
LiPPERT is an independent design house and manufacturer that develops and builds
special customer specific solutions. Please ask for a specific quotation.
