1 Introduction
The cExpress-HL is a COM Express® COM.0 R2.1 Type 6 Compact size module supporting the 64-bit 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/3
ULT Processors with CPU, memory controller, graphics processor and I/O hub on the same chip. Leveraging the benefits provided by the
Intel® Core™ i7/i5/3 ULT System-on-Chip, the cExpress-HL is specifically designed for customers who need optimum processing and
graphics performance with low power consumption in a long product life solution.
The cExpress-HL features the Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processor supporting Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (up to 2 cores, 4 threads) and
up to 16 GB of DDR3L dual-channel memory at 1333/1600 MHz in dual stacked SODIMM sockets to provide excellent overall performance.
Integrated Intel Generation 7.5 Graphics includes features such as OpenGL 3.1, DirectX 11, Intel® Clear Video HD Technology, Advanced
Scheduler 2.0, 1.0, XPDM support, and DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) support for full AVC/VC1/MPEG2 hardware decode. Graphics
outputs include dual-channel 18/24-bit LVDS and two DDI ports supporting HDMI / DVI / DisplayPort. The cExpress-HL is specifically
designed for customers with high-performance processing graphics requirements who want to outsource the custom core logic of their
systems for reduced development time.
The cExpress-HL features a single onboard Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.0 ports and six USB 2.0 ports, and 4 SATA 6 Gb/s ports.
Support is provided for SMBus and I
such as remote console, CMOS backup, hardware monitor, and watchdog timer.
