2.1 Introduction Q7-A36 is a CPU module, in new Qseven® format, based on the Intel® Atom and Celeron® 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, which is essential for boards with sizes so reduced as for Qseven® boards, which offers all functionalities of standard PC boards in just 70x70mm. The board is also available...
