Introduction 

This user guide describes the COMe-cEL6 module made by Kontron and focuses on describing the modules special 
features. Kontron recommends users to study this user guide before powering on the module. 

 

1.1.

 

Product Description 

The COMe-cEL6 is small form factor COM Express® type 6 Computer-On-Module designed for flexible 
implementation within multiple embedded industrial environments. The COMe-cEL6 is based on the Intel® Multi Chip 
Package (MCP) Atom™, Pentium® and Celeron® processors with an integrated PCH to combine increased efficiency 
and performance with TDP as low as 6 W and no more than 12 W, and with Intel’s® extensive HD Graphics capabilities.

 

 

Key COMe-cEL6 features are:

 

 

 

Intel® Multi Chip Package series of Atom™, Pentium® and Celeron® processors 

 

Small form-factor COM Express® Compact, Type 6 pinout, compatible with PICMG COM.0 Rev. 3.0 spec 

 

Up to 64 GByte DDR4  

 

High-speed connectivity 6x PCI Express, 1x 1 Gb Ethernet, up to 4x USB 3.1 Gen 2 + 6x USB 2.0 and 2x SATA Gen 3 

 

Support for Industrial and commercial temperature grade environments
