1INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
This document is the Hardware Reference Manual for the Qseven Generic Carrier Board. This board is
fully supported by iWave Systems Technologies Pvt. Ltd. This Manual includes system setup, debugging
and provides detailed information on the overall design and usage of the Qseven Generic Carrier Board
from a Hardware Systems perspective.
1.2 Qseven Overview
The Qseven concept is an off-the-shelf, multi-vendor, Single-Board-Computer that integrates all the core
components of a common PC and is mounted onto an application specific carrier board. Qseven
modules have a standardized form factor of 70mm x 70mm and have specified pinouts based on the
high speed MXM system connector that has a standardized pinout regardless of the vendor.
The Qseven module provides the functional requirements for an embedded application. These functions
include, but are not limited to, graphics, sound, mass storage, network and multiple USB ports. A single
ruggedized MXM connector provides the carrier board interface to carry all the I/O signals to and from
the Qseven module. This MXM connector is a well-known and proven high speed signal interface
connector that is commonly used for high speed PCI Express graphics cards in notebooks.
iWave’s Qseven Generic carrier board is also incorporated with additional two 80pin expansion
connectors which can be used to connect iWave’s Qseven CPU modules. These Expansion connectors
bring the additional interfaces to carrier board which are not supported by Qseven Edge connector.
