AAEON officially supports two operating systems for the COM-ADNC6 Computer-on-Module, namely Windows 10 (64-bit) and Ubuntu 22.04.02 with the Linux kernel 5.19, and expect the Alder Lake-N COM Express module to be found in industrial control solutions, such as programmable logic controller (PLC) applications thanks in part to the LPC interface and the TPM 2.0 security module.
Availability and pricing
Both the COM-RAPC6 and COM-ADNC6 COM Express Type 6 Compact modules are available now and can be purchased directly on AAEON’s eshop starting at $216 for the COM-ADNC6 and $354 for the COM-RAPC6 models. Most people will want to order the cooler as well and then insert the module in a carrier board compatible with the COM Express Type 6 Compact such as the AAEON ECB-920A-A11 ATX carrier board. More details, including BIOS, drivers, datasheets, and user manuals, can be found on AAEON’s website.
