Introduction
Warning
: This is an EA (early available) engineering manual. The contents may not accurately reflect the actual or final version of this product.
The cExpress-EL is the first COM Express® COM.0 R3.0 Compact Size Type 6 module featuring the IT/OT convergence 6th Generation Intel Atom®
x6000E processors and Pentium®/Celeron® processors (formerly “Elkhart Lake”). The processors support up to quad-core x86 as well as an impressive
turbo boost of up to 3.0GHz. An ARM Cortex M7 core is integrated to manage the low speed interface (optional, by project basis), for real-time
applications. In addition, the module is also equipped with Intel® Time Coordinated Computing (Intel® TCC) that allows several controllers to process
in a synchronized manner and communicate in real-time. These combined features make the cExpress-EL well suited to customers who need to manage
both IT and OT in a simplified design.
The cExpress-EL supports BIOS configurable in-band ECC (IBECC) with up to two SODIMM sockets and a maximum 32GB DDR4 3200 MT/s memory
capacity to support mission critical applications.
Integrated Intel Gen 11 LP Graphics includes features such as OpenGL 4.5, OpenGL ES 3.1/3.0/2.0/1.1, DirectX 12.1, OpenCL 1.2, Vulkan 1.1 APIs, Intel®
Clear Video HD Technology, and support for full H.265/HEVC 10-bit, H.264, VP9, JPEG/MJPEG hardware codecs. Graphics outputs include LVDS and two
DDI ports supporting HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort with eDP/VGA as a BOM option. A maximum of three 4K displays are supported.
Input/output features include six PCIe Gen3 lanes that can be used for NVMe SSD, allowing applications to utilize the highest speed storage solutions,
as well as an optional 2.5GbE port supporting Time Sensitive Network (TSN), up to four USB 3.2 Gen2 ports with a USB hub, four USB 2.0 ports, two
SATA 6 Gb/s ports and an optional onboard eMMC (16/32/64GB). Support is provided for SMBus and I2C. The module is equipped with SPI AMI EFI
BIOS with CMOS backup, supporting embedded features such as remote console, hardware monitor, and watchdog timer.
