Kontron Launches AMD Ryzen Embedded Mini-ITX Board for Graphics Applications

We’ve seen several AMD Ryzen Embedded boards launched over the last couple of years, but the only one we covered here that happens to follow the mini-ITX form factor was iBASE MI988 motherboard powered by a choice of Ryzen Embedded V1000 processors.

But there are others including Sapphire IPC-FP5V 10GbE embedded mini-ITX motherboard, and Kontron has just announced the D3713-V/R mITX motherboard with AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000/R1000 processor and aimed at “demanding graphics applications” such as kiosks, infotainment, digital signage, professional casino gaming systems, medical displays, as well as thin clients and industrial PCs.

D3713-V/R mITX mini-ITX motherboard is actually “designed by Fujitsu” and manufactured in Germany by Kontron. The company also offers what it calls a “kitting” service, where motherboards are assembled with the requested processors, memory latches and/or individual BIOS. Kontron is also working on SMARTCASE S711 customer-specific configured and certified system solution with the board, the CPU, memory modules, expansion cards, BIOS, cooling and housing.

The board has been designed for fanless operation and works with Windows 10 or 64-bit Linux distributions.

The Ryzen Embedded Mini-ITX board is still showing as “coming soon” probably because of the pending US and European certifications. Price has not been made public, and will likely never be due to the target markets and customization options. More information may be available on the product page.
