SMARC 2.1 module with Intel Atom® x7000E & x7000RE series, Intel® Core™ i3-N305 and Intel® processor N series ("Alder Lake-N" & "Amston Lake")
SMARC (Smart Mobility ARChitecture) is a hardware specification of the internationally active Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies e.V. (SGET) for Computer-on-Modules (COM).
SMARC Computer-on-Modules are specially designed for the development of extremely compact, mobile low-power systems.
SMARC modules are usually based on x86 SoCs or ARM processors. The power consumption of the modules can be far below 5 watts as well as up to 15 watts.
The SMARC specification defines the module dimensions, the placement of the mounting holes, the connector to the mainboard and the interfaces to be implemented, including the pin assignment.
The current pin assignment (314 pins) is defined in the SMARC specification 2.1.1:
Computer-on-Modules integrate the central functions of a bootable embedded computer, such as CPU, DRAM, boot flash, Ethernet and display transmitter on the module. The modules are used together with an application-specific mainboard, the size and shape of which can be defined by the customer. The mainboard carries the required interfaces and integrates additional functionalities if required, such as audio codecs, touch controllers, wireless communication interfaces, etc.
