2 Introduction

2.1

Product Description

The Kontron COMe-cBTi6R comes with an especially robust design and is tailored to suit shock- and vibration-proof mobile
and stationary applications as well as the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It is exclusively equipped with
Intel® Atom™ E3800 family processors and soldered RAM. According to the different requirements of real-time controllers
or memory-hungry HMIs either up to 4GB LPDDR3 with ECC or up to 8GB LPDDR3 without ECC is available. The support of
Rapid Shutdown offers an extremely fast shutdown of a computer system to minimize the risk of system or data tampering
in mission critical applications. Software and application data can be stored on the eMMC Flash and via 2 SATA interfaces.
Any peripherals can be connected via 1x USB 3.0, 1x USB OTG, 8x USB 2.0 or 4x PCIe x1.

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.
