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.
