Kontron introduces the new COM Express Basic Type 7 Computer-on-Module based on AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 SoC processors. It offers cost-efficient, highly scalable server-class performance in a small form factor. Measuring just 125 x 95 mm and designed for use on a carrier board, the module is suitable for a wide range of headless high-performance server applications - i.e. for applications where no display is required. These include embedded edge and micro servers, medical imaging, 5G, AI, machine learning/camera inspection and test & measurement.
The module can be equipped with 4 to 16 cores and enables outstanding memory capacity with up to 4 x SODIMM sockets, which can be equipped with 128GB DDR4 RAM. The network capabilities and connectivity required for demanding applications are provided with 4 x 10GbE interfaces and up to 32 PCIe Gen 3 lanes. Furthermore, an optional onboard NVMe can be integrated in addition to the 2x SATA ports.
The module is industrial-grade and suitable for operation in harsh environments from -40 °C to 85 °C. It includes 4x USB 3.1, 4x USB 2.0 as well as LPC, SPI Flash, SMB, Dual Staged Watchdog and RTC. Another feature is a Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) for maximum security. A COM Express Eval carrier board type 7 is also available.
