COM Express embedded computing modules for communications and surveillance introduced by Kontron
AUGSBURG, Germany – Kontron in Augsburg, Germany, is introducing the COM Express-bDV7 and COM Express-bCL6 COM Express embedded computing modules for communications, surveillance and security, industrial control, and medical imaging.
The COM Express-bDV7 has as much as 128 gigabytes of non-ECC/ECC DDR4 memory and Intel Atom C3000 processors in Basic Type 7 form factor, and the COM Express-bCL6 module has the 8th generation Intel Xeon E or Intel Core processors in Basic Type 6 form factor.
Both optionally can be equipped with four memory sockets enabling a maximum memory expansion of 128 gigabytes. Kontron customers benefit immediately from the availability of the 32 gigabytes of SO-DIMMs.
The COM Express-bDV7 embedded computing module is based on processors from the Intel Atom C3000 product family and offers scalable computing power and network options for energy-efficient entry-level server platforms. It offers server-level computing power with as many as 16 processor cores.
As many as four 10 Gigabit Ethernet-KR ports provide the basis for network-intensive applications. The KR design enables users to define the physical interface: KR for backplane connectivity, copper (RJ45), or fiber (SFP+) on the baseboard with the appropriate physical layer.

In addition, the NC-SI interface enables the connection of a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) on the baseboard for out-of-band remote management. This improves reliability and also helps to reduce the total operating costs. Now the COM Express-bDV7 supports as much as 128 gigabytes ECC/non-ECC DDR4 memory. The result is an optimal ratio of multi-core CPU performance to memory size.
The COM Express-bCL6 is based on the 8th generation Intel Core or Intel Xeon E processor family with mobile chipset (CM246/QM370 PCH), and is available in various processor versions, including six-core processor models.
All variants can be equipped with as much as 128 gigabytes non-ECC/ECC DDR4 memory, and support the Intel Optane system accelerator for fast data transfer to and from high-capacity mass storage devices. The optional onboard NVMe solid-state drive also supports fast storage technology.
USB 3.1 support provides data throughput as fast as 10 gigabits per second. Users of the COM Express-bCL6 also benefit from the graphics performance of the 8th processor generation from Intel. As many as four 4K displays -- three of them independent -- can be controlled. For more information contact Kontron online at www.kontron.com.
