SOM-6868 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
SOM-6868 is equipped with the new Intel® Pentium® N3710, Celeron® N3160/
N3060/N3010, and AtomTM X5-E8000 single-chip processors, which are built with
the latest Intel® 14-nm process technology, providing better performance with lower
power consumption. The integrated, new graphics core boasts displays resolutions
up to 4K2K and supports state-of-the-art hardware accelerators that perform well
beyond previous platforms. So the SOM-6868 is suitable for low-power, yet graphic
intense application fields such as medical, digital signage, and portable instruments.
Intel® gen 8 graphics are integrated with up to 16 EUs (execution units) delivering 2x
the graphics performance compared with the previous platform. With the new graph-
ics core, this Compact Module provides rich display interfaces such as LVDS, eDP,
HDMI, and DisplayPort, and can support three simultaneous and independent dis-
play outputs. Up to 3840 x 2160 (4K) resolution satisfies high-quality display require-
ments. It’s also the first low-power platform that supports an H.265/HEVC hardware
decoder that accelerates 4K playback.
The SOM-6868 provides advanced features that can satisfy a wide range of applica-
tions. This product is designed to support wide-range voltage inputs from 4.75 to
20V; this provides flexible options to fulfill various application user scenarios. SOM-
6868 also incorporates a rich array of I/O interfaces including 5 PCIe x1 links that
optionally support x4 and x2 configurations, and offers one Intel® i211AT Gigabit
Ethernet controller, 2 SATA Gen3, 8 USB 2.0, 4 USB 3.0, 2 COM ports, SMBus, I2C,
and HD audio interface functions.
