The company can provide BSPs for Linux and Windows Embedded compact 7, and offers an evaluation kit composed of one CM-iGT module (G-T40E APU, 4GB RAM, 8GB SSD, 2 Ethernet ports, etc…), SB-iGT (carrier board), an HDMI to DVI video cable, a serial port cable and a 12V power supply. You’ll have a 45-day trial period for the kit, and it can be refunded if it does not fulfill your needs. You’ll also get 12-month of technical support, including LCD panel compatibility verification and driver adaptation service.

Documentation, WEC7 demo image, and Linux documentation are provided on Compulab website. Linux source is available, since the board can just use the mainline kernel (Tested with Ubuntu kernel 3.2.0-37-generic).

I found interesting that they detailed pricing for optional features in their website. I reproduced the table below, as it can be an interesting reference, when you compare prices between different devices.

You can find more information about CM-iGT modules on Compulab website.
