Introduction 1

1. Introduction

The Q7-AL Computer-On-Module (COM) combines the QSeven® 2.1 standard with the Intel® (“Apollo Lake”) Atom

E-series and Pentium® and Celeron® N-series System-on-Chips (SoCs), providing ideal solutions for low power

consumption and high pin/area density requirements. The module provides the high integration, high performance,

low power, and ruggedness favored by Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications such as retail transactional clients,

digital signage, and in-vehicle infotainment systems.

The QSeven form factor affords a more compact profile and footprint than the other COM platforms. With

mechanical dimensions of 70mm width, 70mm length, and 2.3mm of overall height, Qseven ranks as one of the

smallest COM standards currently available.

The Q7-AL utilizes the upgrades in Intel’s latest (“Apollo Lake”) N-series and E-series SoCs such as the Intel 64

Architecture (“Goldmont”), the new HD graphics 500/505 engine (Gen-9), and a faster, 4-vector image processing

unit. The SoCs are manufactured on Intel’s industry-leading, tri-gate 14nm process, improving system performance

by supporting up to 8GB of system memory. Compared to the previous generation (“Braswell”), the Apollo Lake

SoC comes with a larger package size (24x31mm2) and pin count (1296 pins) and has updated the OS support by

adding Windows 10 IOT and removing support for Windows7/8.1 and WEC7/2013. Because Apollo Lake has more

I/O interfaces than Braswell, no pin compatibility exists between these two generations of SoCs.

New Intel SoC features:

•Integrated heat spreader on Atom E3950, E3940 and E3930

•Extended temperature SKUs (-40°C to +85°C)

•Windows 10 IOT support

•Gen-9 graphics engine with 18 execution units

•Up to 4-vector-unit image processing unit

•Up to 15 simultaneous 1080p30 decode streams

•Memory bandwidth increase to 38.4 GB/s

•4K display resolution with 60Hz

•4K video encode

•Embedded Apollo Lake-I and Apollo Lake have 15-year Intel support lifecycle

The Qseven module primarily targets embedded intelligent systems used in several vertical market segments such

as healthcare, industrial controllers and real-time systems, gaming devices, retail systems, edge IoT gateways, in-

vehicle infotainment systems, printers, thin clients, industrial and ruggedized tablets, and many others. The Q7-AL

supports contemporary, high-bandwidth interfaces such as Ultra HD HDMI, dual-channel LVDS, PCI Express Gen2,

Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0/3.0, SATA Gen3, two MIPI CSI cameras, and a state-of-the-art HD audio interface. The

module generates its own LVDS (18/24bit), TMDS, and DisplayPort++ video signals using eDP and DDI output

from the SoC.

Two SPI Flash chips implement a fail-safe BIOS, allowing the user to boot the module even if current BIOS settings

have corrupted the system. Other storage devices on the board include an optional eMMC NAND Flash device and

an optional SATA SSD.

Under the management of the BMC (Board Management Controller), the SEMA (Smart Embedded Management

Agent) utility provides system control, security, and failure protection—counting, monitoring, and measuring

hardware and software events, and using the SMBus to send corrective commands to the SoC.
