OEM board. Express-BASE is a standard ATX size carrier board. Together with the COM Express module of your choice and off the shelf add-on cards you can quickly emulate the functionality of your desired end product for software development and hardware verification.
COM Express modules do not have a Super I/O chip onboard as this is considered legacy. Therefore, a Super I/O is placed on the carrier board as an optional item. The Express-BASE uses a Winbond W83627HG-AW that supports FDD, LPT, COM and PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse.
COM.0 - COM Express Module Base specification, Revision 2”. This document includes: description of pinouts, signal descriptions and mechanical characteristics of the COM Express specification. The Express-BASE is compatible with COM Express modules in Basic and Compact form factor, Type 2 pinout, COM.0 Rev. 1.0 and Rev. 2.0.
