SOM-5994 – COM Express Type 7 Module with Intel Atom P6900 by Advantech

The Advantech SOM-5994 is a high-performance COM Express Basic Type 7 module designed for demanding industrial and embedded computing applications. Built on Intel Atom P6900 (Grand Ridge) processors with 16 to 24 efficiency cores operating at frequencies up to 2.6GHz, this module delivers exceptional processing power with TDP configurations ranging from approximately 50W to 86W. The dual-channel DDR5-4800 memory subsystem supports up to 64GB via two SODIMM sockets with ECC or non-ECC options, ensuring reliable data processing for mission-critical applications. Network connectivity is a standout feature of the SOM-5994, incorporating an Intel integrated quad 10GBASE-KR LAN controller alongside a 2.5GbE port for versatile high-bandwidth communication requirements. The module provides extensive expansion capabilities through 16 PCIe Gen4 lanes bifurcatable to 1×16, 2×8, or 4×4 configurations, plus 16 additional PCIe Gen3/2 lanes for peripheral connectivity. I/O interfaces include four USB 3.2 Gen2 ports at 10Gbps, four USB 2.0 ports, up to two SATA3 ports, and optional CAN bus support through the COM port. Security features include TPM 2.0, while the embedded controller provides watchdog, smart fan control, and GPIO functionality. The robust design supports standard operating temperatures from 0 to 60°C with extended range options from -40 to 85°C, along with vibration resistance meeting IEC 60068-2-64 standards. The COM Express R3.1 Type 7 pinout ensures compatibility with standardized carrier boards, and the module supports Ubuntu Linux with SUSI API and DeviceOn management software integration.
