  • 5th Gen Intel Core and Xeon Processors (codename: Broadwell)
  • Up to 32GB dual channel DDR3L at 1600 MHz
  • Seven PCIe x1 and one PCIe x16
  • Extreme Rugged operating temperature:-40°C to +85°C (opt.)

The Express-BL is a COM Express® COM.0 R2.1 Basic Size Type 6 module supporting the 64-bit 5th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 and Xeon® E3-1200L v4 processors (codename "Broadwell") with Intel® QM87 Chipset. The Express-BL is specifically designed for customers who need excellent graphics performance and high-level processing performance in a long product life solution.

The Express-BL features Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (up to 4 cores, 8 threads) and DDR3L non-ECC dual-channel memory at 1333/1600 MHz to provide excellent overall performance. Intel® Flexible Display Interface and Direct Media Interface provide high speed connectivity from the CPU to the Intel® QM87 Chipset.

Integrated Intel® Generation 8 Graphics includes features such as OpenGL 4.0, DirectX 11, 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 and eDP as a build option. The Express-BL 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-BL has dual stacked SODIMM sockets for up to 16 GB non-ECC type DDR3L memory. In addition to the onboard integrated graphics, a multiplexed PCIe x16 graphics bus is available for discrete graphics expansion. Input/output features include 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, hardware monitor, and watchdog timer.

The ADLINK Express-BL computer-on-module with built-in SEMA Cloud functionality is ready-made for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The Express-BL is able to connect legacy industrial devices and other IoT systems to the cloud, extract raw data from these devices, determine which data to save locally and which to send to the cloud for further analysis. The results these analyses can provide valuable information for policy decision making and generate innovative business opportunities.
