AAEON, a leading provider of Computer-on-Modules, has announced the launch of the COM-R2KC6, the first model from its COM Express portfolio to feature AMD Ryzen Embedded R2000 Series Processors. The board is available in SKUs equipped with CPUs from the series ranging from 15W to 45W, offering up to 4 cores and 8 threads of performance – all while maintaining cost-efficiency.
Setting itself apart from other models from AAEON’s COM Express Module range, the COM-R2KC6 supports four simultaneous 4K displays through one eDP and three DDI connectors. This feature empowers users to maximize the potential of the integrated AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, with additional GPU support available via the board’s PEG [x4] slot.
Despite its compact 95mm x 95mm form factor, the COM-R2KC6 offers a rich assortment of interfaces, including a LAN port supporting either Intel I226-LM or Intel I226-IT running at 2.5GbE, eight USB 2.0, two USB 3.2 running at 10Gbps, and one USB 3.2 at 5Gbps. For serial communication, the COM-R2KC6 features an 8-bit GPIO, 2-Wire UART, and SMBus.
The COM-R2KC6 boasts impressive flexibility, accommodating up to 32GB of DDR4 system memory via dual SODIMM slots. For storage, the board supports dual SATA SSDs at 6Gb/s, while functional versatility is provided by up to six PCIe Gen 3 slots, giving users a range of expansion options to choose from when tailoring the board for their project. Additionally, LPC expansion via the COM-R2KC6’s carrier board introduces further serial I/O functions, expanding the board’s application potential.
