The Express-BE is a COM ExpressR COM.0 R2.1 Type 6 module supporting AMD R-Series APU (codename : Bald Eagle) with A77E Fusion Controller Hub. The Express-BE is specifically designed for customers who need excellent graphics performance and high-level processing performance with low power consumption in a long product life solution. The Express-BE features AMD Bald Eagle APU supporting Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) and non-ECC type DDR3L dual-channel memory at 1333/1600 MHz to provide excellent overall performance.
Integrated AMD Radeon™ HD 9000 Graphics includes features such as OpenGL 4.2, DirectX 11.1, OpenCL 1.2, OpenGLES 2.0, OpenCV support for H.264, MPEG2, VC1, MPEG4, WMV9, MVC hardware decode. Graphics outputs include dual-channel 18/24-bit LVDS, DDI ports supporting HDMI / DVI / DisplayPort. In addition, up to four independent displays are supported. The Express-BE is specifically designed for customers with high-performance processing and excellent graphics requirements who want to outsource the custom core logic of their systems for reduced development time.
The Express-BE has dual stacked SODIMM sockets for up to 16 GB non-ECC type DDR3L memory. In addition to the onboard integrated graphics, a multiplexed PCI ExpressR x16 Graphics bus is available for discrete graphics expansion.
The Express-BE features a single onboard Gigabit Ethernet port, USB 3.0 ports and USB 2.0 ports, and SATA 6 Gb/s ports. Support is provided for SMBus and I2C. The module is equipped with SPI AMI EFI BIOS with CMOS backup, supporting embedded features such as remote console, CMOS backup, hardware monitor, and watchdog timer.
At the heart of SEMA is the Board Management Controller (BMC) supporting SEMA functions. The SEMA Extended EAPI provides access to all functions and can be integrated into the user’s own applications. The SEMA GUI and SEMA Command Line Interface allow monitoring, control and use of the SEMA parameters and functions directly on your device for test and demonstration purposes.Optionally SEMA supports also remote procedure calls – please refer to SEMA Software Installation Guide.
Detailed forensic information is available after system or module failures. The BMC Power-Up Error Log function provides detailed information about history of failures that may have occurred during power-up sequences. Log information includes e.g. error number, flags, restart event, power cycles, boot count, status, CPU temperature and board temperature. Moreover minimum and maximum temperature of the CPU and system is available, as well as HDD S.M.A.R.T information- all of which can be used to analyze system or module failure in detail.
SEMA is available for Linux and Windows operating systems and for various HW platforms
