In a strategic move to elevate its COM Express portfolio, AAEON has officially launched the COM-R2KC6, marking a milestone as the first model to integrate AMD Ryzen Embedded R2000 Series Processors. This innovative board, available in SKUs with CPUs ranging from 15W to 45W, delivers exceptional performance with up to 4 cores and 8 threads – all while maintaining cost-efficiency.
Setting itself apart from its counterparts in AAEON’s COM Express Module range, the COM-R2KC6 stands out with its ability to support four simultaneous 4K displays through one eDP and three DDI connectors. This unique feature empowers users to unleash the full potential of the integrated AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, while additional GPU support is made available through the board’s PEG [x4] slot.
Despite its compact 95mm x 95mm form factor, the COM-R2KC6 doesn’t compromise on connectivity. The board boasts an array 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. Serial communication needs are met with an 8-bit GPIO, 2-Wire UART, and SMBus.
Flexibility is a key feature of the COM-R2KC6, accommodating up to 32GB of DDR4 system memory through dual SODIMM slots. For storage, the board supports dual SATA SSDs at 6Gb/s, and its functional versatility is further enhanced by up to six PCIe Gen 3 slots, providing users with a myriad of expansion options to tailor the board to their specific project needs. Additionally, LPC expansion via the COM-R2KC6’s carrier board introduces additional serial I/O functions, expanding the board’s application potential. AAEON’s latest release represents a significant leap in embedded computing technology, promising enhanced performance and versatility for a wide range of applications.
