SECO launches COM Express® Type 7 module with latest generation Intel® Xeon® D-1700 processors

SECO, a global leader of innovative Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions, introduces JULIET, a COM Express® Type 7 module based on Intel® Xeon® D-1700 processors (formerly Ice Lake-D). This announcement is simultaneous with Intel®’s release of this latest generation processor platform, for which SECO is an Intel® Early Access Program partner.

Intel® Xeon® D-1700 processors represent a major step forward in performance and features over the previous generation. This high-performance processor family delivers server-class computing, hardware security, high bandwidth interfaces with industrial-class reliability, and extended temperature ratings for rugged applications. Integrated AI acceleration with supporting software libraries, hard real-time computing, and up to 20 CPU cores make these processors ideal for workload consolidation, running multiple virtual machines, or creating robust systems for critical applications such as high-bandwidth video storage/analytics, manufacturing, aerospace, and defence.

SECO leveraged the advanced features of these processors in the COM Express® JULIET to meet the stringent demands posed by High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications at the edge- optimizing innovation, performance, and cost.

The COM Express® JULIET features the Intel® Xeon® D-1700 (formerly Ice Lake- D) family of SoCs, with up to 10x cores and thermal design power (TDP) ranging from 40W up to 67W. Extended operating temperatures of -40°C to +85°C and industrial use conditions are available with selected SKUs. Vast networking and connectivity are provided via 4x 10Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (10GBASE-KR), directly managed by the Intel® Xeon® D-1700 processor, 1x Gigabit Ethernet port, 16x PCIe 4.0 lanes, 16x PCIe 3.0 lanes, and 4x Superspeed USB 5Gbps.

Up to 128 GB of onboard system memory is provided by the up to four DDR4 SO-DIMM slots supporting DDR4-2933 memory, optionally with ECC. Mass storage is enabled via two SATA 3 channels. An optional TPM 2.0 is available. Supported operating systems include Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Windows Server, Linux, and Wind River VxWorks. SECO offers accompanying thermal dissipation solutions.

Utilizing Intel® QuickAssist Technology, Intel® Boot Guard, Intel® Total Memory Encryption - Multi-Tenant to protect physical memory and isolate virtual machines, JULIET is an ideal solution for security-demanding applications, such as high-performance computing, industrial automation and control, and telecommunications.

With extreme performance, memory, connectivity, ruggedness, and advanced features for time-sensitive networking (TSN) and cybersecurity, the Intel®-based COM Express Module JULIET drives server-class performance in embedded computing at the edge in a small form factor (only 125 x 95 mm). It is well-suited for integration into computation-intensive and space-constrained applications.

SECO offers design support and design services for customers seeking to incorporate these boards into their products, including the development of carrier or interface circuitry, subassemblies, and packaged systems.
