miniBASE-10R
Introduction 1
1. Introduction
The COM Express approach of custom carrier combined with off the shelf system cores is an excellent solution
when you need to customize but lack the time or quantity for a complete redesign. It fits most system integration
projects with production volumes from 500 to 10,000 pcs per year. The COM Express concept has a great many
advantages over full custom designs, it reduces engineering complexity, lowers the threshold for total project
quantity and last but not least brings your product to the market in no time. The average time to design a carrier
board is less than half the time of a full custom OEM board.
The miniBASE-10R is a Mni-ITX size carrier board. Together with the COM Express Type 10 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.
To build a functional prototype of your target system you will need:
zCOM Express Type 10 module
zminiBASE-10R carrier board
zPCI Express based or USB based add on cards
zSATA drive storage or flash disk solution
The miniBASE-10R is compatible with Mini size Type 10 pinout COM Express modules and accommodates up to
one Mini PCIe card, one Mini PCIe/mSATA card slot and one SD card.
The miniBASE-10R integrates a Smart Battery Management System that supports two Smart Batteries and 19V
adapter input. The integrated Smart Battery Management System is compliant with the Smart Battery Manager
Specification and uses the System Management Bus (SMBus) for communications between the battery power
subsystem, Smart Batteries and host system (COM Express module). It is ACPI compliant and provides complete
Smart Battery management under a supported operating system. ADLINK’s COM Express Type 10 modules
feature a BIOS that fully supports all Smart Battery communications using existing interfaces defined in the COM
Express specification and are fully compatible with the integrated Smart Battery Management System. The
integrated Smart Battery Management System is a proof-of-concept battery power subsystem that allows for quick
development and integration of battery power into a COM Express system in the following ways:
zTo emulate the battery power subsystem functionality of your prototype system during the design phase
zAs a ready-made battery power subsystem for your customized system
zAs a reference design to integrate a battery power subsystem into your custom-designed carrier
The miniBASE-10R is based on the PICMG COM Express (COM.0 Rev. 2.1) specification and follows the PICMG
COM Express Carrier Design Guide (CDG) where possible (see 6.3 Carrier Board Designon page 12)

2. Features
2.1. Integrated Smart Battery Management System
The miniBASE-10R integrates a Smart Battery Management System that support Dual Smart Batteries and 19V
adapter. The Smart Battery Magagement System is a proof-of-concept battery power system that allows for quick
development and integration of battery power into a COM Express system.
The Smart Battery Management System use the SM Bus for communications between battery power system,
Smart Batteries and COM Express module. It is ACPI compliant and provides complete battery management under
a supporting operating system.
Note: The selected COM Express module for miniBASE-10R must support wide voltage range input. (5.7V - 14V),
even if Smart Battery power is not used.
2.2. Secondary BIOS
The miniBASE-10R supports the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for COM Rev. 2.1 modules. Selection of active
BIOS can be made by jumper settings. The jumper of the secondary BIOS is JPX7.
2.3. Integrated Debug Port with Single Step Execution
In addition to a two-digit POST code display, the board also provides a four-digit address display. By jumper
selection the board can be switched into single step BIOS execution mode. Steps are executed using a manually
operated onboard mini switch.
2.4. Onboard Audio
The miniBASE-10R has a Realtek ALC262 audio codec onboard. Audio I/O is provided by a three-jack connector.
2.5. Indicator LEDs
General information is obtained through indicator LEDs for power status, drive activity, and Mini PCIe card type
(WWAN or WLAN). See 8.3 Indicator LEDs on page 34.
2.6. Power, Reset, Lid and Sleep Switches
The miniBASE-10R is equipped four mini switches (S1-4) for Reset, Power and COM.0 Rev.2.1 specified "Lid" and
"Sleep" functions.
