The new MSC SM2S-EL module features the next-generation low-power, multi-core system-on-chip (SOC) Intel Atom® generation. 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 Intel Atom® generations allowing for technology upgrades within existing power and cooling requirements defined by the system design. The new MSC SM2S-EL offers triple independent display support with a maximum of 4k resolution, DirectX 12, fast LPDDR4 memory with up to 16GB and optional IBECC capabilities, fast UFS 2.0, USB 3.1 and PCIe Gen3 on a power saving and cost-efficient SMARC 2.1 Short Size module. Different SOCs with dual- and quad-core processors are supported by this design. In addition to an extensive set of interfaces and features, the MSC SM2S-EL offers 2 Gigabit Ethernet with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and 2 CAN-FD interfaces. For evaluation and design-in of the MSC SM2S-EL module, MSC provides a suitable SMARC 2.1 development platform. A complete, ready-to-run Starterkit is also available from Avnet Embedded.
