ADLINK introduces its latest COM Express Type 6 modules to fulfill the needs of size, weight, and power (SWaP)-constrained edge computing applications. ADLINK’s cExpress-WL modules feature the 8th generation Intel® Core™ and Celeron® processors (formerly codenamed Whiskey Lake-U) with up to 4 cores and up to 64GB memory capacity, offering edge computing applications uncompromising performance and responsiveness despite SWaP constraints. The cExpress-WL is suited for applications such as data acquisition and analysis, image processing, and 4K video transcoding and streaming at the edge.
cExpress-WL modules are equipped with the 8th generation Intel® Core™ processor and Celeron® processor. These quad-core processors support up to 8 threads and an impressive turbo boost of up to 4.8 GHz, delivering 40% performance at increase at 15 watt of thermal design power (TDP) at a similar cost. ADLINK’s cExpress-WL provides standard support for up to 64GB non-ECC DDR4 in two SO-DIMMs, while still fully complying with PICMG COM.0 mechanical specifications.
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.
