With the new revision of the COM Express™ specification, many innovations brought about by Kontron are now officially part of this industry standard, such as the COM Express™ compact form factor, which Kontron introduced in 2005 under the brand name “microETXexpress®”. This smaller footprint for COM Express™ modules already is widely accepted by the market. Furthermore, two new pin-out types ( type 6 and type 10 ) are detailed in the new revision. While maintaining maximum compatibility to the existent pin-outs, these new pin-out types offer dedicated interfaces for digital displays and other future-oriented features. The new revision defines, with EAPI, a uniform software interface for the board and module management. Kontron customers who used the Kontron K-station software tool kit and library are already familiar with most of the functionality of EAPI. An additional feature of the COM Express™ COM.0 Revision 2 specification is the creation and adoption of a sister specification EeeP ( Embedded EEPROM Specification ). EeeP facilitates describing the carrier functionality and embedding the system descriptor information ( manufacturer, serial number, PCIe configuration, etc ) on the carrier, simplifying system provisioning and maintenance in Multi Platform, Multi Vendor environments.
