The Starterkit features the new COM Express Type 6 carrier board in the Mini-ITX form factor, two SO-DIMM memory modules, heat sink and suitable power supply. Along with a COM Express Type 6 module MSC C6C-BT or MSC C6C-BW (which is not included in the kit to leave the user the choice of processor performance and additional features), the Starterkit is a complete solution to immediately start evaluation of or development with COM Express Type 6 modules based on the BayTrail or Braswell processor families.
The universal Mini-ITX baseboard provides the COM Express socket for Type 6 modules in the Compact and Basic form factors, and is loaded with I/O connectors and other functionality to allow access to the most popular interface features: PCIe x1, SATA, USB 3.0 and 2.0, GbE LAN, LPC, UART, GPIO and HD Audio. Various graphics outputs are available: VGA, DisplayPort, embedded DisplayPort (eDP) and LVDS, along with an adjustable backlight power and dimming output for LCD panels. The board comes with a PCI Express Mini card socket for functional extension and an SD Card slot.
The Starterkit can be used with all COM Express Type 6 modules based on the Intel BayTrail and Braswell processors, of which MSC is offering a large family of variants featuring different processor choices (BayTrail single-core E3815, dual-core E3825, 3826 and 3827, quad-core E3845 or Celeron J1900 and N2930; Braswell dual-core N3000 and 3050, quad-core N3150 and 3700) and interface sets (3x or 5x PCIe x1, 1x or 4x USB 3.0).
