Overview

This project contains open hardware design files for a baseboard supporting COM Express 7 modules. The board breaks-out major communications and peripheral interfaces provided by the standard. It also provides a backplane connector which makes it possible to integrate this board into larger systems.

Key features

• Two SFP+ 10G Ethernet ports
• OCuLink PCIe x4 connector
• Two USB 3.0 type A ports
• Gigabit RJ45 connector
• Singular +12V supply voltage
• USB-C console output
• Two M.2 key M with PCIe x4
• M.2 key E
• SD card connector
• Backplane connector with PCIe, USB and UART console
• Temperature and fan monitor/controller with 3 12V fan connectors
• LEDs for status indication
• Board power/current monitors
• Board EEPROM and support for carrier MAFS BIOS
