Sealevel 12009 COM Express Compact Type 6 Evaluation Board

The 12009 COM Express Compact Type 6 Evaluation Board enables accelerated development of embedded computing prototypes, dramatically expedites electrical hardware engineering, and reduces costs for new product introductions (NPIs). At 95 millimeters square, the 12009 Compact Evaluation Board is identical in size to a Compact Type 6 COM Express module.

Standard I/O includes Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, GPIO, RS-232, and Mini DisplayPort. The 12009 evaluation board is designed for the congatec® conga-TC370 COM Express family, with support for 8th generation Intel® Core™ processors, up to 64 GB DDR4 RAM, and TPM 2.0 support.

The complete evaluation kit (Part #12009-001-KT) includes a Type 6 module with Intel Core i3-8145UE CPU and 8 GB DDR4 RAM. Additionally, to improve the development process, the kit includes a 128GB M.2 SATA SSD module (supports Windows® and Linux® operating systems), a desktop power supply, and a wide variety of cables to facilitate connections to serial and Ethernet ports and optional fans. Power button and power-indicating LED also included.

The 12009 COM Express Type 6 Evaluation Board features a wide operating temperature range of 0ºC to 70ºC and is powered via a locking, four-position Molex Micro-Fit connector.

COM Express Type 10 Mini Module

The COMeT10-3900 is an industrial COM Express® Type 10 Mini module with an Intel® Atom™ E3900 processor. This low power industrial module was designed and manufactured in the USA. The small form factor module is designed as a processor mezzanine that can be plugged onto a carrier board containing user specific I/O requirements.

COM Express modules allow users to retain the same carrier board design across scalable CPU series and over multiple generations of COM Express modules, providing a long project lifetime. Updating a COM Express module to improve performance or replace an end-of-life processor drastically improves your time to market when revising existing projects. Users can choose the default BIOS settings and layout or request a custom-branded configurable BIOS to support specific project requirements.

The COMeT10-3900 supports Linux, Windows® 10, and other x86-compatible real-time operating systems. Drivers are available from the WINSYSTEMS website.
