Ultra compact Qseven Modules in different Versions

Wolfgang Eisenbarth, Marketing Manager Embedded Computer Technology, MSC Vertriebs GmbH, said: “Together with our partners, we will serve as a central point of contact for customers, facilitating their Intel Atom based developments. We offer modular embedded boards e.g. Qseven but also innovative displays and IT components of MSC's distribution group as a complete solution package.”

MSC Vertriebs GmbH has announced new variations of its Qseven platform MSC Q7-US15W. The main features of all three versions like graphics, high definition audio and the interface offering, e.g. USB and Gbit Ethernet, are identical.

The high end version comes with the 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor, 1024MB of SDRAM, two SATA-300 ports and three PCI Express x1 lanes. The CPU supports Intel Virtualisation Technology (IVT) and is therefore suitable for applications demanding computing performance.

The second module is build around the Intel Atom Z510 processor running at 1.1 GHz. 1024MB SDRAM, SATA and three PCI Express x1 lanes cover applications requiring both mid range performance and a good selection of interface options.

The entry level version for price sensitive applications is also equipped with the Intel Atom Z510 processor and 512MB SDRAM. This version offers one PCI Express x1 lane. To boot a system with this module a USB Flash driver or a SD card are available. These storage devices can be easily exchanged or upgraded. With growing software demands and constantly falling flash cost customers can take advantage of additional flexibility and optimize their system easily to achieve the best cost/feature ratio.

If requested, the Qseven module can be provided with hardware and BIOS based security functions that comply with the requirements of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG).

Additional information to get an embedded system running quickly like manuals for the module and the Qseven reference platform and a getting started guide are available on the MSC Website.
