SC8-FLUTE

CompactPCI® Serial CPU Card • Low Power Intel® Atom™ x6000RE SoC (Elkhart Lake)

The SC8-FLUTE is a low power CompactPCI® Serial CPU board, based on an Intel® Atom™ x6000RE (Elkhart Lake Industrial) System-on[1]Chip processor. The front panel is provided with three 2.5Gbps RJ45 Ethernet jacks, and three Type-C USB3/DisplayPort connectors. The board is equipped with 16GB directly soldered DDR4 IBECC RAM, and in addition a DDR4 SODIMM socket for another 16GB. High speed PCIe® x4 SSD mass storage is available via low profile mezzanine modules (4HP assembly), or multi-function side cards (8HP). The SC8-FLUTE backplane connectors comply with the CompactPCI® Serial system board specification, suitable for reasonable system expansion via PCIe®, SATA and USB3. As an option, up to eight GbE ports are available by means of a mezzanine module.
