Qseven, COM Express, XTX and ETX Computer-on-Modules with AMD Embedded G Series SoC now with 10 years long-term availability instead of 7 years
Our partner congatec AG, a leading technology company for embedded computer modules, single board computers and EDM services, has extended the long-term availability of its AMD processor-based Computer-on-Modules from seven to ten years, securing the supply of Qseven, COM Express, XTX and ETX modules with AMD Embedded G-Series SoC in identical configuration for an additional three years. For the AMD Embedded G-Series SoC processors (formerly code named ‘Steppe Eagle’) this means an extension into the first quarter of 2024*. OEMs profit from the increased long-term availability by enhanced design and investment security as well as reduced non-recurring engineering costs (NRE) on a long-term basis. In addition, the careful selection of components assures a higher level of robustness which reinforces trouble-free operation in the field, thus reducing operating costs.
The availability of congatec’s new Computer-on-Modules with AMD Embedded G-Series processors has been set at 10 years. By incorporating congatec‘s new EDM services (Embedded Design & Manufacturing) on a project basis, even longer availabilities can be agreed on. The fanless modules are therefore an excellent match for cost-sensitive long-term deployments in control and automation technology, in digital gaming, in communication infrastructures as well as in graphics-intense appliances such as thin clients, digital signage or medical imaging devices.
All congatec modules are scalable from dual to quad core performance and offer up to 8 GByte ECC RAM. The integrated AMD Radeon™ graphics supports DirectX® 11.1 and OpenGL 4.2 for fast 2D and 3D image display, plus OpenCL 1.2 for executing program code through the graphics unit. All feature LVDS, DisplayPort 1.2 as well as DVI/HDMI 1.4a graphics interfaces for connecting two independently-run displays directly. Besides PCIe, both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports are available for external peripherals. Storage medium can be connected via SATA 3 Gb/s ports and Gigabit Ethernet is provided for fast network connection.
