IBASE: Mini-ITX for 6th gen Intel
Xeon E3 and Intel Core processors
IBASE is releasing a new mini ITX mother-
board, MI991, with a Socket H4 (LGA1151)
socket and the Intel C236 chipset. System inte-
grators can benefit from the MI991 equipped
with space-saving compact configuration and
rich I/O design for maximum flexibility. The
MI991 supports up to three independent dis-
plays via Intel HD Graphics: DVI-D, HDMI,
and DisplayPort, as well as DDR4 32GB lim-
itation on two memory slots. It uses the more
expensive Intel i211 controller instead of
Realtek controllers for the motherboard along-
side the Intel chipset i219 NIC device. Friendly
features also include eight USB, four serial
ports, four SATA III as well as two Mini PCI-
E, a mSATA and a PCI-E(16x) expansion slot.
Portwell: ETX 3.0 module to extend
legacy applications and lifecycles
Portwell announces the release of the PEM-
E205VLA, an ETX 3.02 (95 x 114mm) com-
puter-on-module based on the Vortex86DX3
processor. The PEM-E205VLA ETX module
delivers optimized value and service levels
by running multiple applications securely
and reliably on virtualization-optimized plat-
forms. Alongside of energy efficiency and leg-
acy-interface support, the PEM-E205VLA is
designed with powerful 32-bit multi-core pro-
cessor technology and programmable graph-
ics processing unit compatible with Microsoft
Windows-based, Linux and many other popu-
lar 32-bit RTOS.
AAEON: secure small-scale networks
with new gen processor
AAEON unveils the FWS-2260 network appli-
ance, a table-top device meant to bring secu-
rity to small-scale networks. Available in both
dual and quad-core versions of Intel Celeron
N3000 Series SoC, the device is a multi-pur-
pose network appliance that empowers
Intrusion detection/prevention, WAN optimi-
zation, network access control, load balancing,
web content filtering, unified threat manage-
ment, and wireless network security.
ARBOR: Broadwell COM Express Type 6
module supporting ECC memory socket
ARBOR Technology released the ARBOR
EmETXe-i87M2 COM Express Type 6 Mod-
ule with ECC Memory socket support. Built
on Intel’s new 14nm process technology, the
EmETXe-i87M2 is adopting 5th generation
Intel Core i7-5700EQ 2.6 GHz processor, and
supports the Intel Turbo Boost Technology,
enable to increase increasing the CPU pro-
cessing speed from 2.6GHz to 3.4GHz clock
speed to deliver breakthrough CPU perfor-
mance, excellent graphic capability as well
as the enhancement in security and manage-
ment functions, which make the module ideal
for intelligent application in several market
segments, such as medical, digital surveil-
lance, gaming, digital signage, communica-
tion and defense.
SGET: 2.1 specification of multi-
platform Qseven standard released
The Standardization Group for Embedded
Technologies has released its 2.1 version of
the Qseven standard. Qseven is a well-es-
tablished, legacy-free standard for technolo-
gy-independent small form factor computer
modules which includes standardized ther-
mal/mechanical interfaces. It has been well
adopted in the market and supports x86 and
ARM technologies in COM-compatible envi-
ronments. For developers of small form factor
devices this is a strategic and cost saving ben-
efit, as the decision for one or the other hard-
ware does not affect the mechanical design
of the devices. This enables risk-free changes
between the platforms and a wider scalability
by means of cost, performance and specific
features.
