Portwell PCOM-B657VGL joins other COM Express and COM HPC modules based on Intel Tiger Lake-H Xeon, Core and Celeron embedded processors, such as ADLINK Express-TL and Congatec conga-HPC/cTLH.
Like its competitors, Portwell COM Express Type 6 Basic module provides 8K video output, PCIe x16 Gen 4, up to 64GB DDR4, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and 2.5GbE network, suitable for various high-end embedded applications, such as industrial automation, medical equipment , Graphics-intensive applications and artificial intelligence.
The company provides support for Windows 10, Ubuntu, CentOS and Yocto projects for this module. This is the first module I wrote to advertise the 25W MLE processor, although I think others can provide this. The strange thing is that the 25W module only supports a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C, while the 35W/45W can work in a wider temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Usually, the industrial temperature range requires a lower frequency processor, but it seems to be the opposite, perhaps just because the higher TDP brings extra legroom.
Portwell can also provide COM-C60B ATX carrier board for COM Express Type 6 module, allowing customers to start development as soon as possible.
Although the carrier board has been around for a while, all variants of the Portwell PCOM-B657VGL COM Express Tiger Lake-H module are still shown as "under development" in the data sheet. You can find more information on the product page, as well as request a quotation or evaluation sample.
