Manufacturer

Express-BASE6 is the reference carrier board for COM Express Type 6 modules, used for module bring-up and validation. It accepts Type 6 modules in Basic or Compact form factor on two 220-pin connectors and complies with PICMG COM Express Revision 2.0 and the COM Express Carrier Design Guide.

The format is ATX, 305 mm x 244 mm: expansion goes through one PCI Express x4 slot, three PCI Express x1 slots and one ExpressCard slot, with Super I/O on LPC bus and PCA9535 I2C-GPIO bridge. A 10-pin header brings out Smart Battery management towards the ADLINK BattMan board.

It is a reference bench, not a custom carrier: the COM Express Carrier Design Guide documents the move to your final layout.
