2.1 Introduction
Q7-A29 is a CPU module, in Qseven
integrated discrete-class GPU and I/O controller on a single Chip.
This single chip solution includes the memory controller, which gives support for up to 8GB of DDR3 Single Channel ECC Memory soldered onboard.
Graphic section is embedded in the SOC; which offers an embedded AMD HD Radeon GPU, able to support dual independent displays using native LVDS /
embedded Display Port, CRT or HDMI/ Display Port interfaces. Any combinations of these video interfaces are supported. GPUs embedded in the SOC also

support DirectX
11.1, OpenGL
rel.4.2 and OpenCL rel. 1.2.
The board can offer one optional SATA Flash Drive, directly accessible like any standard Hard Disk (SATA Flash Drive is alternative to second SATA Channel on
®
Qseven
connector).
This high level of integration allows an extremely reduced consumption of spaces, that is essential for boards with sizes so reduced as for Qseven
offers all functionalities of standard PC boards in just 70x70mm.
Interface to the board comes through the single card edge connector, as defined by Qseven
Gigabit Ethernet, SD interface, up to 2 x SATA Channels, one USB 3.0 Host port, six USB 2.0 Host ports, optional 24-bit Single/Dual Channel LVDS, HDMI or
Display Port interface, up to 4 x PCI-Express x 1 lanes, HD Audio interface, I2C, SPI and SM Bus, and other features, like optional UART and SPI interfaces.
Interfacing to the board comes through a single card edge connector, as defined by Qseven
described (except CRT interface, which has a dedicated connector). For external interfacing to standard devices, a carrier board with a 230-pin MXM connector is
needed. This board will implement all the routing of the interface signals to external standard connectors, as well as integration of other peripherals/devices not
already included in Q7-A29 CPU module.
Some module's configurations are also available in industrial temperature range.
Please refer to following chapter for a complete list of all peripherals integrated and characteristics.
