MSC Vertriebs Unveil Qseven Starter Kit With AMD Embedded G-Series APU

Optionally, a TFT kit can be ordered which provides for a 12.1” LCD panel with XGA resolution (1024 x 768), the appropriate cable kit for operation off the Qseven baseboard and full implementation in the Qseven module’s Graphics BIOS.



Along with the Starter Kit, the user can decide for the Qseven module with the most suitable processor and clock speed from the MSC range of Q7-A50M modules:

-AMD G-T40E Dual-Core APU at 1.0 GHz, optionally 7.2GB Flash Disk

-AMD G-T40R Single-Core APU at 1.0 GHz, optionally 7.2GB Flash Disk

-AMD G-T16R Single-Core APU at 615 MHz



The AMD Embedded G-Series APUs combine a low-power CPU and a discrete-level GPU in a single processor chip. The MSC Q7-A50M module family features three different low-power APU versions so that fanless system designs and highly integrated solutions are possible. All processors come with the built-in AMD Radeon HD6250 Graphics Processing Unit which delivers very high graphics performance, enables dual independent high-resolution displays up to Full-HD and supports OpenGL 4.0, DirectX-11 and OpenCL 1.1.



The Computer-On-Module MSC Q7-A50M offers up to 4GB DRAM, four PCI Express x1 lanes, two high-speed SATA-II interfaces, eight USB 2.0 host ports, LPC, High-Definition Audio and a GBit Ethernet interface. Optionally, a Flash Disk up to 32GB soldered on the module may be used as system boot device.



In many cases, the Starter Kit will be used to drive an LCD output. To help customers with the difficulties of connecting a TFT panel to the carrier board, MSC is offering an optional TFT Kit directly suitable for the Q7-SK-A50M Starter Kit. It comes with a 12.1” XGA LCD panel with LED backlight and suitable data and backlight power cable which both fit the respective connectors on the Qseven baseboard. What is more, MSC is also offering to provide any other TFT panel from its wide product portfolio from very many renowned LCD manufacturers, for which the MSC Support Group will strive to find suitable backlight drivers and cable kits to provide a complete, functional Starter Kit with the desired LCD.



The 3.5” Embedded Platform board MSC Q7-MB-EP4 combines the most popular interfaces for embedded applications. It features a DVI connector and 2 LAN interfaces for which the board comes with its own Ethernet controller. Six USB connectors and a UART provide for embedded connectivity, while a Mini PCI-Express and an mSATA socket enable functional and storage expansion.
