Industrial-Grade Intel Apollo Lake-Based Computer-On-Module Aimed For industrial IoT Applications

Axiomtek released their Q7M311, a Qseven module with an Intel Apollo Lake processor, dual display interfaces, 32GB eMMC memory, and extended operating temperature range supported.

Axiomtek’s Q7M311 has adopted the 14nm Intel Pentium N4200 and Celeron N3350 quad-core/dual-core processors (codename: Apollo Lake). The embedded module supports 4GB (or optionally up to 8GB) DDR3L memory onboard and 32GB eMMC flash memory (optional). With a seismic design and for industrial-grade temperatures, both the CPU and the DDR3L RAM are soldered to deliver computing performance. With features embedded in all the components built in a small form factor, the industrial-grade computer-on-module is aimed for industrial IoT applications, including industrial control, medical imaging, digital signage, gaming machines, military, and networking.

This Intel Apollo Lake-based computer-on-module is equipped with connectivity, including four PCIe x1 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, four USB 3.0 ports, one Gigabit Ethernet (built-in Intel Ethernet controller i211AT), two SATA-600 interfaces, and eight inputs/outputs of general purpose for peripheral devices and data transfer. Also, the LPC bus is available for easy connection of legacy I/O interfaces. This powerful Qseven embedded board runs well with Windows 10 and Linux operating system and supports Axiomtek AXView 2.0 intelligent remote management software.

In computer networking, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE or 1 GigE) is a term describing various technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second (1,000,000,000 bits per second), as defined by the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard.

It came into use beginning in 1999, gradually supplanting Fast Ethernet in wired local networks, as a result of being considerably faster. The cables and equipment are very similar to previous standards and have been very common and economical since 2010.

Half-duplex gigabit links connected through repeater hubs were part of the IEEE specification, but the specification is not updated anymore and full-duplex operation with switches is used exclusively.

Gigabit Ethernet has been deployed in the metro space, providing low cost, easily managed bandwidth for intensive applications like video, storage, and ASPs. 

10 Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3a) will make the use of Ethernet in the Metro area even more attractive. IDC projects that GigE revenues in the U.S., marked at $155 million in 2001, will grow at 36.7% per year over the next five years, to $741 million in 2006.
