The 121004-KT provides everything you need to get your COM Express project off to a fast start. Powered by a 1.8GHz Intel Atom® N2800 CPU with 4GB RAM and integrated heatsink, the QuickStart kit includes an installed 2.5″ 32GB SATA solid-state disk. Standard features include five USB 2.0, two RS-232, one RS-485, dual Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, DisplayPort, and audio interfaces. To interface the RS-485 port, a 10-pin IDC to DB9M serial cable is included. The carrier board and module are powered by the included 100-240VAC to 24VDC external power supply with US power cord. The QuickStart kit uses the same COM Express module and carrier board as the Sealevel Relio R2 and R3 industrial computers.

Sealevel’s 121004-KT simplifies software development and prototyping while the target application carrier board is designed. Take advantage of Sealevel’s carrier board development services for the fastest time to market. Our extensive library of proven I/O circuits including serial, analog, and digital functionality simplifies the design process and can be easily optimized to meet the specific I/O count, voltage ranges and connector types required for your application.

Rugged COM Express, based on PICMG standard COM.0 or COM Express, has been developed for demanding embedded applications with extended requirements for thermal design, shock, vibration and EMC. Rugged COM Express, together with an application-specific carrier board, forms a semi-custom solution which is suited for application in extremely harsh, mobile and mission-critical environments.

The XC15 is an evaluation and development platform that can be used together with any type of Rugged COM Express module. The XC15 provides physical interfaces and connectors for nearly all current serial standard I/Os, which can be routed from the COM Express connectors to the carrier board. The XC15 comes with one COM Express slot and eight PCI Express card slots, including an onboard PCI Express Graphics (PEG) interface on a standard PCIe x16 connector. In addition, it provides three display ports, four onboard SATA connectors, two LVDS and two CAN interfaces which are available via SA-Adapters.

The functionality of all connectors depends on the Rugged COM Express module used on the XC15. It supports the Micro ATX form factor and can therefore operate in a PC system. Additional USB ports on the front panel for USB driven Flash disks for application storage, complement the memory configuration that is already available on the different COM Express modules.

For a first evaluation of the functions and performance of the Rugged COM Express module of choice, we strongly recommend using the XC15. Further useful accessories include an external PSU, a heat sink and fan, a DisplayPort to DVI adapter, and cables for UART and SATA HD.

For easier testing and development, Acromag offers an engineering development system to streamline your COM Express® system for fast field deployment.

The engineering development system is an engineering development board and an ACEX-4610-LF or ACEX-4620-LF COM Express® carrier board mounted to a metal baseplate.

The engineering development system is an engineering development board and an ACEX-4610-LF or ACEX-4620-LF COM Express® carrier board mounted to a metal baseplate.

To ensure proper air circulation two fans are mounted to the baseplate forcing air across the one/two XMC/PMC sites. The development board allows access to all signals delivered from the carrier card’s Samtec® SEARAY™ high-density connectors through to the I/O breakout board connectors. The breakout board provides all standard peripheral I/O from the CPU, I/O expansion modules, and accommodates two SSD devices for program storage. The I/O breakout board has two power supply connections for a choice of the included 24V DC (160W) brick-type power supply or your own external power adapter.
