COM Express Type 10 Tiger Lake UP3 module targets embedded mobile applications

AAEON NanoCOM-TGU is a COM Express Type 10 module powered by the 11^th generation Intel Tiger Lake UP3 designed for embedded mobile applications, potentially leveraging AI and Deep Learning acceleration engines from the processor with use cases ranging from telematics, Smart Cities, and industrial automation.

The NanoCOM-TGU supports up to 16GB LPDDR4x memory with in-band ECC, up to 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD, and offers two SATA 3.0 interfaces, 2.5GbE networking, DDI and eDP video outputs, as well as ten USB ports and four PCI Express x1 interfaces.

Note you’ll need a GRE part for industrial temperature range, in-band ECC RAM, TSN and Intel TCC networking sync features, as well as Intel Safety Island functional safety (FuSa) technology. AAEON does not directly list supported operating systems, but provides Windows 10 32-bit and 64-bit drivers, and the user manual as a section about Peripheral Driver (Linux) telling users to “Open the folder where you unzipped the Peripheral Drivers” then “follow the instructions contained within the user guides to install the related drivers” without further details, nor links to such drivers or user guides.

LinuxGizmos notes the NanoCOM-TGU is the second COM Express Type 10 Tiger Lake module they’ve seen with Advantech SOM-7583 having very similar specifications except the AAEON COM offers larger capacity NVMe SSD options but does not offer a wide-range 8.5-20V input voltage, nor optional CAN.

More details with a datasheet, Windows 10 drivers, BIOS, and a user manual can be found on the product page.
