nanoX-AL

Introduction 1

1. Introduction

The nanoX-AL is a COM Express® COM.0 R3.0 Type 10 module supporting Intel Atom® processor E3900 series

system-on-chip (SoC). The nanoX-AL is specifically designed for customers who need optmized processing and

graphics performance with low power consumption in a long product life solution.

The nanoX-AL features the dual/quad core Intel Atom® processor E3900 series supporting non-ECC type DDR3L

single-channel or dual-channel memory at 1600/1867 MHz to provide excellent overall performance. Integrated

Intel® Gen9 LP Graphics includes features such as OpenGL 4.3, DirectX 12, OpenCL 2.0 and support for

H.265/HEVC, H.264, MPEG2, VC1, VP9, MVC, JPEG/MJPEG hardware decode. Graphics outputs include DDI

ports supporting HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort and single-channel 18/24-bit LVDS (eDP by build option). The nanoX-AL is

specifically designed for customers with balanced performance and power consumption requirements who want to

outsource the custom core logic of their systems for reduced development time.

The nanoX-AL has 2GB of soldered type non-ECC DDR3L memory (4GB and 8GB optional). In addition, onboard

eMMC memory (8GB/16GB/32GB) and SD signals are available as build options.

The nanoX-AL features a single onboard Gigabit Ethernet port, multiple PCIe lanes, USB 3.0 ports and USB 2.0

ports, and SATA 6 Gb/s ports. Support is provided for SMBus and I2C. The module is equipped with SPI AMI EFI

BIOS (dual BIOS by build option), supporting embedded features such as remote console, CMOS backup,

hardware monitor, and watchdog timer.
