Kontron has introduced an updated design for the credit card sized (55 x 84mm) Intel Atom processor based nanoETXexpress-SP Computer on Modules.
 These are used in ultra small system designs and are a compatible extension to the PICMG COM Express specification, following the pin out type 1 definition.
The new module features include an 8chip 1Gb memory solution, an SDIO/GPIO switching via BIOS and an optional implemented SDVO connection.
The device has a COM Express carrier board connector and is Kontron's first nanoETXexpress specification 1.0 solution to support the newly adopted SDVO interface. The company says that this opens up new application fields for ultra small embedded solutions. In addition to LVDS, there is optional SDVO support
The interface for VGA, DVI or HDMI can also be used for SDTV and HDTV television outputs and TV tuner inputs by the usage of chips used in ADD2 and ADD2+ media expansion cards.
Instead of the four memory chips previously offered on the Kontron nanoETXexpress-SP, there are now 8 memory chips on the module supporting memory of up to 1Gb. Customers benefit According to Kontron, the design requires less capacity per chip, manufactured at an overall lower cost.
The SDIO/GPIO BIOS switch offers a setting of either GPIO or SDIO functionality via the BIOS. This is said to simplify the individual implementation of SD cards or custom general purpose I/Os on the carrier board.
The device comes with the Z5XX series Intel Atom processor from 1.1 to 1.6GHz and Intel System Controller Hub US15W and offers up to 1GByte of soldered DDR2 400/533 RAM and up to 4 GBytes of onboard Flash as a boot device.
