Embedded computing technologies specialist 8087 Kontron has introduced its new COM Express computer-on-module Kontron COMe-cBL6 and the mini motherboard mITX-BDU-U. Both are IoT-ready and equipped with fifth generation Intel Core SoC processors as well as Intel Celeron processors.

Kontron says both devices are suitable for environments that require multi-touch display systems or maximising limited power consumption, including surveillance and security systems, digital signage, industrial tablet PCs for logistics, retail or production markets and human-machine interfaces used in automation or medical image processing.

The COMe-cBL6 with pin-out type 6 is highly scalable and covers a wide area of requirements utilising Intel Core i7 processors to Intel Celeron processors and supports Microsoft Windows 8.1u and 7, WEI8.1, WES7 as well as Linux and VxWorks. The ultra-thin profiled mini motherboard mITX is an embedded, low powered motherboard with Intel fifth generation 14nm Core processors i7, i5, and i3 and provides a low powered platform with 15W CPUs in a 23mm envelope. The device mITX supports Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Linux operating systems.
