The MSC C6C-EL module is based on Intel‘s multi-core system-on-chip (SOC) Atom generation (codenamed “Elkhart Lake”). Built on 10nm process technology the SoC integrates the next generation Intel Atom processor core architecture and graphics accelerators, memory controller and rich I/O functionality into a single package. The module is designed for extended temperature range and 24/7 operation making it an ideal platform for mission critical tasks that require a reliable and performant compute base. It provides significant performance gains over previous Atom generations allowing for technology upgrades within existing power and cooling requirements defined by the system design. Typical applications are industrial IoT, mobile medical equipment, on-board units, way-side controllers and outdoor POS terminals. The MSC C6C-EL can drive up to three independent displays with a maximum of 4k resolution. The COM Express Type 6 interface allows direct access to digital display interfaces including DisplayPort, HDMI and the choice of LVDS versus eDP. With a maximum capacity of 32GB fast DDR4 memory the board satisfies even demanding applications. Optional in-band ECC capabilities allow for protecting code and data kept in memory. High speed IO includes up to eight PCIe Gen 3 lanes and two USB 3.1 interfaces. Mass storage can be supported with the optional on-board eMMC memory and via two SATA channels.
