SOM-6898 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
SOM-6898 is a COM Express Compact module with type 6 pin-out that fully complies
with the PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufactures Group) COM.0 R2.1 specifi-
cation. The CPU module uses an Intel 7th Generation Core i processor and other
peripheral chips in a basic size 95x95mm COM Express form factor. SOM-6898 fea-
tures a 15 watt TDP and is equipped with a power-saving ULV-SoC on new 14nm
micro architecture. SOM-6898 supports up to 32GB dual channel DDR4 2133 non-
ECC, with higher memory bandwidth for better performance. SOM-6898 is equipped
with an integrated Intel Gen 9 LP graphics micro architecture, supplying up to three
independently operated 4K displays via DisplayPort. It also supports HW accelerated
video decoding for AVC, VC1, MPEG2, HEVC, VP8, JPEG. SOM-6898 I/O includes
PCI Express Gen 3, 2 SATA G3, 4 USB 3.0, 8 USB 2.0. Moreover, 5 PCIe x1 (4 PCIe
x1 + 1 PCIe x4 (support up to 5 devices and 8 lanes) can be supported at a time to
make the IO design more flexible. In addition, SOM-6898 adds mounting holes
around the processor to strengthen the board structure and avoid board bending.
Advantech iManager was designed to satisfy a lot of embedded application require-
ments such as multi-level watchdog timer, voltage and temperature monitoring, and
thermal protection through processor throttling, as well as LCD backlight on/off,
brightness control, and embedded storage information. Combined with Advantech
SUSI Access, it can remotely monitor and control devices via the internet for easy
maintenance. All Advantech COM Express modules integrate iManager and SUSI
Access to benefit customer’s applications. SOM-6898 is suitable for computing inten-
sive, thermal sensitive, graphics/media intense, and I/O demanding applications.
