Open-Q™ 2500 Development Kit User Guide
two 100 pin Hirose DF40 connectors which allows essential power rails and signals to be exposed
for supporting other peripherals and interfaces on the platform.
For detailed information about the Open-Q 2500 SOM, see the device specification noted as
reference document R-1.
3.7 Open-Q 2500 Carrier Board
The Open-Q 2500 Carrier board is a Mini-ITX form factor board with various connectors used for
connecting different peripherals. The table and sections below provide in depth information on the
carrier board properties, user interfaces, connectors, and expansion headers found on the carrier
board. This information is important for users wishing to connect other external hardware devices to
the Open-Q 2500 development kit. Users must ensure that before connecting any hardware device to
the development kit, that it is compatible with the Open-Q 2500 hardware specifications.
