Universal SMARC carrier launches with Elkhart Lake module
Data Modul announced the versatile eDM-CB-SM-IPCS support for the SMARC x86 arm and modules and the Linux-ready SMARC eDM-SMX-EL module with x6000E support from Intel Elkhart Lake Atom.
An advantage of standardized modular calculation factors, such as SMARC, is that manufacturers can easily switch to a new, faster module with the same basic design and supplier. In some cases it is possible to change the processor family and even the architecture. Last year, for example, the MSC released SimpleFlex Universal Media for SMARC modules that support i.MX6, i.MX8/Mini, Zynq UltraScale+ and Intel Apollo Lake. Data Modul has now announced its own universal SMARC support, called eDM-CB-SM-IPCS plus eDM-SMX-EL SMARC based on Elkhart Lake (see below for more details).

eDM-CB-SM-IPCS is a slim mini-ITX bracket with support for x86 SMARC 2.0 and 2.1 arms and modules. SMARC universal media should be used as a starting point for a customer-specific design.
The 170 mm x 170 mm stand features a V-by-One interface, which we have seen in several products, including the Amlogic S922X, which is based on the Shenzhen XYT-6689 SBC tomato. This SerDes-based LVDS alternative works faster on copper wire pairs.
The V-by-One implementation of the data module supports resolutions up to 4K and supports standard interfaces such as DisplayPort or LVDS. V-by-One can power all displays powered by a carrier board up to 60 W and can also provide backlighting of up to 144 W via a separate connector. As a result, large format, high-resolution HMI systems can be controlled directly from this motherboard, explains Data Module.
In addition to the V-by-One interface, you receive a DisplayPort and a two-channel 24-bit LVDS, which is equipped with a backlight and can be used in combination with the computer interface. The operator has a microSD slot and a SATA interface and 2 GbE ports.
The eDM-CB-SM-IPCS system is also equipped with a USB 3.0 port, 2x USB 2.0 and a PD and DP compatible USB C connector. A second USB 3.0 port can be added as an option and a 2x USB 3.0 header can be added on request. 3x USB 2.0 standard headers are also available.
The carrier board provides internal I/O including RS485, RS232, 2x UART, 2x SPI, CAN and 4x fan pin heads. Audio features include a controlled HD audio connection, buzzer and I2S interface.
The maintenance functions include a function link for the data module, but the additional options are not listed. You will also receive an M.2 M-Key 2242 for the SSD and an M.2 A-Key 2230/2242/3042 and an M.2 B-Key 2242, both PCIe and USB 2.0 compatible. The slot of key A contains a Nano-SIM connector.
The 24V board has an STM32-based controller connected to the power and reset button, as well as other functions shown in the diagram above. The medium has an operating range of 0 to 60°C with a tolerance of < 90% relative humidity without condensation. Safety, shock and vibration certificates include EN60950, EN62638, UL60950, IEC/EN60068-2-27 and IEC/EN60068.
eDM-SMX-EL module
The eDM-SMX-EL module combines Elhart Lake with the short form factor 82 x 50 mm SMARC 2.1. The same combination is used in the Advantech SOM-2532 and the Kontron SMARC-sXEL (E2). The module supports Linux, Yocto and Windows 10 and 10 IoT. Other data modules are the 8. Generation based on the COM Express Basic Type 6 EDM-COMB-CF6 coffee tea.

The eDM-SMX-EL lists five Atom x6000E dual and quad-core references up to the Atom x6425E quad-core, 1.8GHz/3.0GHz with 12W TDP. Some are standard E models, while other RE models do not have a turbo clock, but offer additional support for TSN and additional Intel TCC technologies for synchronized networks and real-time software applications. The announcement of the data module indicates that the module also supports parts of Elkhart Lake Celeron and Pentium.
All Elkhart Lake SoC units are equipped with Tremont SuperFin 10nm processor cores and Intel Gen11 graphics cards up to 32EU with support for a triple 4K display and great potential for artificial intelligence. According to Intel, single basting is 1.7 times better, multiple basting is 1.5 times better, and graphics performance is twice as good as Gemini Lake. Elkhart Lake integrates the Intel Programmable Services Engine (Intel PSE), based on the Cortex-M7 real-time kernel for power management and remote management of Out-of-Band (OOB) and In-Band (INB) devices.
Like the Advantech and Kontron modules, the data module can be loaded from 2 GB to 16 GB LPDDR4 and supports up to 4267 MT/s, including RAM with the new Intel ECC in-band support. Like the Advantech module, eDM-SMX-EL uses Elkhart Lake’s 2.1FSU support and offers up to 64 GB of FSUs, with additional capacity if needed. (Unlike PR, the data sheet contains only UFS 2.0).
eDM-SMX-EL has two GbE controllers and supports DP++ (DDI) up to 4KP60 and HDMI 1.4b or optionally a second DP++. You will also receive a two-channel LVDS, which can be replaced by eDP or MIPI-DSI if desired. HD audio and I2S are also available.
The module also offers 2x USB 3.1 Gen2 with speeds up to 10 Gbps, 4x USB 2.0, SATA III and up to 4x PCIe Gen3. Additional I/O includes 4x UART, 2x CAN, 3x I2C, 12x GPIO and SPI, eSPI and SDIO.
eDM-SMX-EL offers integrated data module control with watchdog and other functions. TPM 2.0 and the automatic BIOS recovery function are available on request.
The 5V module has an operating range of -40 to 85°C with a non-condensing relative humidity tolerance of < 80%. Compliance with safety, shock and vibration requirements includes EN60950, IEC/EN60068-2-27 and IEC/EN60068-2-6.
Additional information
The first samples from the eDM-CB-SM-IPCS supplier will be available at a secret price at the end of November. No price or availability information has been provided for the eDM-SMX-EL module. For more information, see the announcement of the data modules for both products and the product pages for eDM-CB-SM-IPCS and eDM-SMX-EL.
