Introduction
Warning
: this is an EA (early available) engineering manual, meaning contents may not properly reflect the actual or final version of this product
The cExpress-AR is the first COM Express® COM.0 R3.0 Compact Size Type 6 module based on Octa-core (8 core) AMD® New Generation Ryzen™
Embedded V-Series SoC (formerly “Ryzen V2000”) with up to 16 threads and an impressive turbo boost up to 4.25GHz. Compared to earlier generation,
the additional cores combined with AMD’s Zen2 architecture result in double the performance-per-watt efficiency. The cExpress-AR also feature a
upgrade high performance graphics core called AMD® Radeon™ with faster frequency and clocking. Typical industries, in need of such high
performance characteristics, are ultrasound image processing, 4K high speed video encoding and streaming, gaming, AI inferencing at the Edge.
The cExpress-AR supports maximum 64GB DDR4 3200 MT/s memory capacity and support ECC memory error correction based on selected SKUs.
Combined with a configurable TDP to 10 watts while still support 8-core/6-core make fanless design achievable and well suited for mission critical or
rugged applications.
Integrated upgrade AMD® Radeon™ Graphics includes features such as OpenGL 4.6 and ES 3.x, DirectX 12, OpenCL 2.1/2.0/1.2, new generation
multimedia engine, VCN2.2, supports for H.265/HEVC 10-bit hardware encode/decode, VP9 10-bit hardware decode. In addition, new generation
display engine, DCN2.1, support maximum four independent display outputs include LVDS and three DDI ports supporting HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort and
eDP/VGA as a build option.
Input/output features include up to eight PCIe Gen3 lanes (through a PCIe switch, project basis support) and one PCIe Gen3 x8 lanes that can be used
for NVMe SSD, allowing applications access to the highest speed storage solutions, as well as a single onboard up to 2.5Gigabit Ethernet port
supporting Time Sensitive Network (TSN), four USB 3.2 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, two SATA 6 Gb/s ports. 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.
