COMe-mBT10 / Introduction
2 Introduction
2.1 Product Description
At the SPS/IPC/Drives show, Kontron unveiled the new credit card sized Computer-on-Modules based on the world’s
leading form factor standard COM Express®. The performance range of the new COM Express® mini modules is highly
scalable and covers the entire embedded range of Intel® Atom™ Processor E3800 and Intel® Celeron® Processor N2900
and J1900 Product Families, formerly codenamed ‘Bay Trail’. The most impressive feature of the new Kontron COMe-mBT10
Computer-on-Module family is the three times higher graphics performance compared to previous Intel® Atom™
processors coupled with unbeatable TDP (thermal design power) values. And although all the Intel® Atom™ processor
E3800 based modules are designed for the extended temperature range from -40 to +85°C, they offer an extensive set of
features, including PCIe extension options, new security functions, and optional ECC memory . The rich, powerful and
flexible x86 featureset in combination with the low-power credit card-sized footprint make the new COM Express® mini
Computer-on-Modules a perfect fit for an extremely wide range of new, graphic-rich multi-touch applications.
Users in all markets will benefit from double the performance, significantly improved performance-per-watt ratios and
the long-term availability which the rugged new x86 modules offer. The range of applications includes everything from
slim but graphics-rich and open, programmable industrial tablets and handheld PCs to in-vehicle systems and stationary
HMIs and controllers. Targeted industries are POS/POI, infotainment, digital signage, gaming, and medical technology as
well as industrial automation, and machine and plant engineering. With the availability of the new COM Express® mini
Computer-on-Modules, developers can directly make use of the extensive x86 ecosystem and the world’s leading COM
Express® form factor standard.
The new Kontron COMe-mBT10 COM Express® mini Computer-on-Module family (55 mm x 84 mm) with Type 10 pin-out is
equipped with Intel® Atom™ processor E3800 or Intel® Celeron® processors. Several module variants are included in the
range, offering wide scalability from low-power single-core Intel® Atom™ (1.46 GHz / 5 W TDP) processor performance for
energy-sensitive applications through to genuine quad-core Intel® Atom™ (4x 1.91 GHz/ 10 W TDP) and Intel® Celeron®
(4x 2.42 GHz / 10 W TDP ) processor performance in high-end applications ). The new Intel® Gen 7 HD graphics integrated
on the SoC offer up to three times more graphical power, including DirectX 11, OpenGL 3.1, and OpenCL 1.1 support for two
independent displays with 1x DP++ (DP/HDMI/DVI) up to 2560×1600@60Hz and 1x Single Channel LVDS 18/24bit with
DPtoLVDS up to 1920×1200 (optional eDP). New video HD technology additionally enables brilliant video reproduction
and stereoscopic 3D viewing for an immersive user experience. The modules come with options for data memory: two SATA
II 300 Mbps interfaces or versions with additional eMMC memory (up to 64 GB) . In addition to having two serial ports,
they include a Super Fast USB 3.0 interface, up to eight USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, plus three Gen 2 PCI-Express x1 lanes
for customer specific expansions.
2.2 Naming clarification
COM Express® defines a Computer-On-Module, or COM, with all components necessary for a bootable host computer,
packaged as a super component.
» COMe-bXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in basic form factor (125mm x 95mm)
» COMe-cXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in compact form factor (95mm x 95mm)
» COMe-mXX# modules are Kontron's COM Express® modules in mini form factor (55mm x 84mm)
The product names for Kontron COM Express® Computer-on-Modules consist of a short form of the industry standard
(
COMe-), the form factor (b=basic, c=compact, m=mini), the capital letters for the CPU and Chipset Codenames (XX) and
the pin-out type ( #) followed by the CPU Name.
