March 4, 2014 – San Jose, CA – ADLINK Technology Inc., a global provider of embedded building blocks and Application Ready Intelligent Platforms (ARIPs), today announced its new offering, the cExpress-HL COM Express® Type 6 Compact size computer-on-module (COM), which takes full advantage of the mobile 4th generation Intel® Core™ processor (formerly known as Haswell-ULT) to provide a compact, high-performance COM solution with outstanding graphics capabilities. The cExpress-HL targets embedded systems in medical, digital signage, gaming, video conferencing and industrial automation that need outstanding CPU and graphics performance, but are constrained by either size or thermal management requirements.
The ADLINK cExpress-HL features a mobile 4th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processor at 1.7 to 3.3 GHz with Intel® HD Graphics 5000 (GT3), delivering up to 50 percent higher graphics performance than the previous generation graphics card, while still keeping thermal design power (TDP) under 15 watts. The small footprint of Intel’s system-on-chip solution allows it to fit onto the COM.0 R2.0 Type 6 Compact size form factor of 95 x 95mm. Though small in size, the cExpress-HL provides rich I/O and wide-bandwidth data throughput: three independent displays (two DDI channels and one LVDS), four PCIe x1 or one PCIe x4 (Gen2), four SATA 6 Gb/s, two USB 3.0 ports and six USB 2.0 ports.
The cExpress-HL is equipped with ADLINK’s Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA), which provides functions including watchdog timer, temperature and other board information monitoring, and fail-safe BIOS support—all to ensure system reliability. SEMA allows users to monitor and manage standalone, connected or remote systems through a cloud-based interface.
To accelerate customers’ system development, a COM Express Type 6 Starter Kit is available. The kit includes a COM Express Type 6 reference carrier board, adapter cards, debug board, board support packages and all necessary cabling and documentation.
