Ryzen Embedded V1000 Module Supports Four USB 3.1 Ports

By Eric Brown

Ibase has announced a COM Express Type 6 module equipped with AMD’s Ryzen Embedded V1000 system-on-chip. The announcement refers to the ET876 as a Compact module (95 x 95mm) like Ibase’s earlier, Intel 7th Gen “Kaby Lake” ET975, but the spec sheet and the photo indicate it’s a larger 125 x 95mm Basic module like Ibase’s 7th Gen ET970.

The ET976 follows other V1000-based COM Express Type 6 modules including Seco’s Compact COMe-B75-CT6, Kontron’s Compact COMe-cVR6, Advantech’s Basic SOM-5871, and MEN Micro’s Basic CB71C. The Kontron and MEN Micro modules also support the new stripped-down Ryzen Embedded R1000.

Ibase listed no OS support for the ET976, but all the other V1000-based modules either ship with Linux as the default or support Linux and Windows. The module supports the dual-core V1202B and the quad-core V1605B, V1807B, and V1807B SoCs at up to 3.8GHz. Applications include graphics-intensive devices used in industrial automation, medical imaging, transportation, gaming, payment systems, and ATM machines.

Claimed to be up to twice as fast as AMD’s earlier R-Series SoCs, the Ryzen Embedded V1000 competes with Intel’s similarly 14nm-fabricated Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake Core processors. The SoC offers up to four dual-threaded Zen CPU cores for 8x threads total, as well as high-end Radeon Vega 3 graphics with up to 11 compute units.

The ET976 supports up to 8GB of DDR4, including ECC RAM. It integrates an Intel I210IT GbE controller a watchdog, hardware monitoring functionality, and support for TPM 2.0.

The announcement mentions triple independent displays, but the product page says there are only dual displays. In any case, they are enabled with 2x DDI and either an LVDS or optional eDP interface. No resolution was mentioned, but some of the other modules support 4K video.

This is the first V1000-based module we’ve seen with USB 3.1 support as opposed to USB 3.0. The ET976 expresses I/O including 4x USB 3.1, 8x USB 2.0, 2x SATA III, 2x UART, HD audio, and 4-in/4-out DIO. The module provides a single PEG x8 connection and 8x PCIe expansion interfaces, and there’s support for 0 to 60°C temperatures.

 
Further information

No pricing or availability information was provided for the ET976. More information may be found in Ibase’s ET976 announcement and product page.
