    CX-MB-EVA2 User's Manual Introduction Product Description COM Express modules are compact, highly integrated Single Board Computers. Typically a COM Express module consists of CPU, chipset, memory, video controller, Ethernet controller, BIOS flash and EIDE-, SATA- and USB controller. Interface controllers (e.g. for PCMCIA) or connectors (e.g. RJ45) are implemented on the base board on to which the COM Express module can be mounted via one or two 220-pin SMD-connectors.
