1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: NANO-QM770
The NANO-QM770 is an EPIC SBC with a 3rd generation 22nm Intel® mobile CPU and
Intel® QM77 Express Chipset. Storage on the board is handled by the SATA 6Gb/s ports
for connecting a hard drive, optical drive or SSD. The PCIe Mini slot allows an mSATA
card to be installed.
The board has three types of graphics outputs. A DVI-I output connects to a DVI monitor
or a traditional VGA monitor. One LVDS connector supports 24-bit dual-channel display
and two HDMI connectors support HDMI 1080p display.
Other slots and connectors include RS-232, RS-422/485, gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 ports,
USB 2.0 ports and digital I/O.
1.2 Benefits
Some of the NANO-QM770 motherboard benefits include:
Low power consumption
Wide range of I/O interfaces
Triple independent display support
1.3 Features
Some of the NANO-QM770 motherboard features are listed below:
