ECM-EHL 3.5-inch SBC Powered by New Intel Elkhart Lake SoC

Intel has introduced the new Atom x6000E series and Intel Pentium and Celeron N and J series, processors. They are part of the new Elkhart Lake processor (14 nm process) family. These processors are primarily targeted towards embedded and IoT applications. As we have seen with AAEON, these next-generation solutions provide greater performance, flexibility, and a multitude of Intel technologies to power computing needs worldwide.

The board manufacturer, Avalue Technology has just introduced its new ECM-EHL 3.5-inch SBC powered by these new Elkhart Lake Embedded SoCs. With the help of these new bleeding edge processors, this new board can offer a wide range of voltage input and an extreme operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C.

This board comes with a support of Single 260-pin DDR4 SODIMM socket System Memory, support for up to 32GB DDR4 at 3200MHz. For the physical storage supports, there is one M.2 Key-B 2242 socket and one ATA III connector. Multimedia capabilities are HDMI 2.0b up to 4096×2160 @ 60Hz and DP 1.4a up to 4096×2160 @ 60Hz. Triple independent display support is one of the highlighting features of this board. Audio I/Os are handled by Realtek ALC892 audio codec. Mic-In, Line-In, and Line-Out header headers are also present on this 146 x 101mm, 200-gram board.
