2.1 Introduction The COMe-A41-CT6 is a COM Express® Type 6, basic Form Factor, based on the Intel® family of System-on-Chips (SOCs) formerly coded as Bay Trail, a series of Single/ Dual / Quad SOCs with 64-bit instruction set. These SOCs embed all the features usually obtained by combination of CPU + platform Controller hubs, all in one single IC, which allows, therefore, the system minimisation and performance optimisation. A complete list of SOCs available is detailed in the next chapter. All the supported SOCs offer a 64-bit Instruction set, and provide direct access to the memory, which is...
