Qseven
Qseven is a standardized computer-on-module (COM) form factor designed for embedded systems. It defines a compact module that houses the processor, memory, and chipset, which plugs into a separate baseboard via a fixed-edge connector. The module typically measures about 70 by 70 millimeters, though there are variants to accommodate different CPU and memory configurations. The baseboard provides system I/O, power management, and peripheral connections, while the module supplies the computational core.
In the Qseven architecture, the responsibilities are split to ease integration and upgrades: the module handles
Thermal and mechanical considerations are central to Qseven designs, which are often suitable for fanless operation
Development and deployment with Qseven offer the advantage of swapping modules to upgrade performance or different
The Qseven standard is maintained by the Qseven Consortium and has evolved through multiple revisions. It sits
