Introduction

1.1

SMARC

Concept

The Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies e.V (SGET) defined the SMARC standard for small form factor computer modules

that target applications with low power, low cost and high performance. The SMARC connector and interfaces are optimized for high-speed

communication, and are suitable for ARM SoCs and low power x86 SoCs.

The SMARC standard bridges the gap between the COM Express standard and the Qseven standard by offering most of the interfaces defined

in the COM Express specification at a lower power. With a footprint of 82 mm x 50 mm or 82 mm x 80 mm, the SMARC standard promotes the

design of highly integrated, energy efficient systems.

Due to its small size and lower power demands, PC appliance designers can design low cost devices as well as explore a huge variety of product

development options—from compact space-saving designs to fully functional systems. This solution allows scalability, product diversification

and faster time to market.

1.2

The conga-SMX8-X is based on the SMARC 2.0 Specification and features an NXP

processor. With a maximum power consumption of TBD W, the conga-SMX8-X is a low power module with high computing performance.

By offering most of the functional requirement for any SMARC application, the conga-SMX8-X provides manufacturers and developers with a

platform to jump-start the development of systems and applications based on SMARC specification. Its features and capabilities make it an

ideal platform for designing compact, energy-efficient, performance-oriented embedded systems.
