SECO is a leading global provider of technological innovations for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions. With the Qseven® Cross Platform Starter Kit, SECO is now presenting a new solution that contains all the basic components for developing applications with Qseven® compatible Computer on Modules (COM). The Q7 Starter Kit 2.1 is compatible with both Qseven Rel. 2.0 / 2.1 modules with x86 and Arm processors and is based on SECO's new CQ7-D59 Carrier Board, for Qseven modules, in 3.5-inch form factor.
SECO’s starter and development kits serve as reference and development platforms for early feasibility testing (proof-of-concept), prototyping, and software development. SECO customers can use these kits to accelerate the development of application-specific carrier boards. An overview of SECO starter and development kits for Qseven® and other standard form factors can be found here.
The CQ7-D59 Carrier Board is equipped with a variety of components and interfaces supported by the Qseven® standard. With the Q7 Starter Kit 2.1, SECO supplies an HD audio module, I2S audio module, 24VDC power supply, cable set and an adapter for mounting a µQseven® module on the standard Qseven® Carrier Board.
The Q7 STARTER KIT 2.1 complements SECO's line of standard Qseven® modules, including the recently introduced ATLAS - Qseven® module with Intel Atom X6000E Series, Intel Pentium, Celeron N and J Series SoCs (formerly Elkhart Lake).
