2.2 General overview:
This ready to use open frame solution is a flexible design platform for various embedded computing
applications in miscellaneous areas, for example in POS/POI terminals or industrial automation. It drives
TFT & CRT displays in different sizes and resolutions. The dedicated baseboard is offering I/O
functionality by carrying a standard x86 CPU module with integrated graphics utilizing Windows®
operating systems (for example XP/XPe/CE/...) or Linux. Key features are an ideal Performance/Watt
ratio due to i.e. the newest low power 45nm Atom™ CPUs from Intel® as well as numerous I/O options
which are implemented via onboard plugs or supported by cabled connectors. Further I/O functionality,
i.e. WLAN/WiFi, etc. can be optionally added. The kit in its compact dimensions can be mounted with a
display frame or easily integrated in a standard or custom housing.

This chapter describes the naming and layout of all standard connectors, the pin out and functions of
the onboard pin headers and the configuration jumpers and interfaces.
5.1 COM Express™ connector (X1)
The standard COM Express™ pin-out type 1 connector is fully compatible with the COM Express™
specification. Please refer to the specifications or module manuals on http://www.kontron.com for more
details and pin out description.
The ePDAnano Baseboard can carry a full featured COM Express™ pin-out type 1 module following the
new standard form factor nanoETXexpress (http://www.kontron.com/nanoetxexpress).
The COM Express™ pin-out type 1 connection via connector A/B defines the following feature set:

5.2 USB
COM Express™ defines a maximum of 8 USB ports. On ePDAnano Baseboard 2 USB Ports (USB0 & USB1)
are provided via front panel connector X2 and two (USB2 & USB3) ports via onboard connector (X20 &
X19). USB Port 6 is used for Express Card.

Notes (*):
To protect the external power lines of peripheral devices, make sure that:
▪the wires have the right diameter to withstand the maximum available current
▪the enclosure of the peripheral device fulfils the fire-protecting requirements of IEC/EN 60950
The USB power lines are protected with a resetable fuse and are limited to 500mA.

the module, USB Port7 is used as an USB Client connection via MiniUSB connector TypeA (X10). The
client function is a software implemented USB device in the chipset which allows connecting the
platform to other USB Host interfaces for purposes of file transfer, network connectivity or any other
USB functions.
