Cornell University Attempts Fourth Straight Victory With Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Powered by ADLINK's Express-HL COM Express. --- 2015 July
The Express-HLE is a COM Express COM.0 R2.1 Type 6 module supporting the 64-bit 4th Generation Intel Core i7/i5/3 processor with
CPU (formerly codenamed Haswell), memory controller, and graphics processor on the same chip. Based on the latest Mobile Intel QM87 Express chipset, the Express-HLE is specifically designed for customers who need high-level processing and graphics performance in a long product life solution.
The Express-HLE features the Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processor supporting Intels Hyper-Threading Technology (up to 4 cores, 8 threads) and
DDR3 dual-channel memory at 1333/1600 MHz to provide excellent overall performance with ECC memory supported. Intel Flexible Display Interface and Direct Media
Interface provide high speed connectivity to the Intel QM77 Express chipset.
Integrated Intel Generation 7.5 includes features such as OpenGL 3.1, DirectX11, Intel Clear Video HD Technology, Advanced Scheduler
2.0, 1.0, XPDM support, and DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) support for full AVC/VC1/MPEG2 hardware decode. Graphics outputs
include VGA, LVDS and three DDI ports supporting HDMI / DVI / DisplayPort. The Express-HLE is specifically designed for
customers with high-performance processing graphics requirements who want to outsource the custom core logic of their systems for
reduced development time.
The Express-HLE has dual stacked SODIMM sockets for up to 16 GB DDR3 memory. The Intel Mobile QM87 Express chipset integrates
VGA and dual-channel 18/24-bit LVDS display output. In addition to the onboard integrated graphics, a multiplexed PCI Express x16 Graphics bus is available for discrete graphics expansion or general purpose x8 or x4 PCI Express connectivity.
The Express-HLE features a single onboard Gigabit Ethernet port, four USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports, and 4 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
