environment for modules designed to the new Revision 2.0
of the Qseven™ standard, and particularly for MSC Technologies’ new Qseven™ modules with Intel® Atom™ processor
E3800 (previously “Bay Trail”) based Q7-BT modules.
USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI,
DisplayPort, SATA and UART interfaces
The starter kit features the company’s new Qseven™
Rev. 2.0 application carrier board MSC Q7-MB-EP6 which
gives access to most of the module’s key features such as
USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI, DisplayPort, SATA and UART interfaces. Furthermore, the board adds a second GbE LAN interface to the one provided by the Qseven™ module, and
also features SD, mSATA and miniPCIexpress card slots as
well as TFT backlight control. The kit also comprises a
power supply and an efficient heatsink for the Q7-BT
module family, as well as an extensive “Getting Started”
manual. Using the starter kit, the new Qseven™ Rev. 2.0
modules based on the Intel® Atom™ E3800 family can be
operational within minutes of receiving the kit.
Customers can select the type of Q7-BT module variant to
be used with the starter kit. MSC Technologies is offering
a number of modules which are providing a distinct advantage for users of Microsoft® Windows® in featuring a SATA
SSD device for flash storage soldered on the module.
Both Windows® 7 and 8 cannot be booted from eMMC but
are happy to boot from SATA SSD.
