AAEON COM-MTHC6 COM Express Type 6 Meteor Lake-H module offered with up to 45W Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor

COM Express Type 6 Intel Core Ultra 9 185H

AAEON’s COM-MTHC6 COM Express Type 6 module is powered by the Intel Meteor Lake H processor series with a choice between the Core Ultra 9 185H, Core Ultra 7 155H, or Core Ultra 5 125H CPUs. The module supports up to 96GB DDR5 memory, features an optional BGA SSD, two MIPI CSI connectors, and two standard 220-pin B2B connectors exposing interfaces such as PEG 4.0 and PCIe Gen4, and offers a 9V to 16V power input range. AAEON claims the COM-MTHC6 is the world’s first COM Express Type 6 equipped with a 45W Meteor Lake-H CPU, such as the Core Ultra 9 185H. I can indeed see similar COM Express modules like the ADLINK cExpress-MTL only ship with 15W or 28W parts. AAEON COM-MTHC6 specifications: Meteor Lake-H SoC Intel Core Ultra 5 125H 14-core (4P+8E+2LPE) processor @ up to 4.5 GHz with 18MB cache, 7x Xe-cores Intel Arc graphics @ […]

ESP-HDMI-Bridge is an ESP32-P4 HDMI streaming adapter with USB, Ethernet, WiFi, and microSD card

ESP-HDMI-Bridge is an ESP32-P4-based HDMI streaming adapter based on Lontium Semiconductors’s LT8912B MIPI-DSI to HDMI bridge chip outputting MIPI-DSI video signal of ESP32-P4 to HDMI devices. It allows the user to connect a computer to an HDMI display or projector through USB, Ethernet, or WiFi, or use it directly as a digital signage player or live dashboard connected to an HDMI display. The current solution is based on the ESP32-P4-Function-EV-Board connected via its MIPI DSI connector to a 50x40mm board with the LT8912B bridge, a MIPI DSI input connector, LVDS and HDMI video outputs, and a 12-pin header with I2C, I2S audio, etc., with everything housed in a plastic enclosure. The best is to watch the video below, which shows various demos: USB to HDMI up to 720p30 or 1080p15 Ethernet to HDMI WiFi to HDMI up to 1080p40 using the ESP32-C6 2.4 GHz WiFi 6 module on the ESP-P4 […]

Solar-powered WisMesh Repeaters extend the range of Meshtastic networks

Solar Powered WisMesh Meshtastic Repeaters

RAKWireless has launched two solar-powered Meshtastic range extenders/repeaters: the WisMesh Repeater with a larger battery and external solar panel, and the WisMesh Repeater Mini with a more compact design with an integrated solar panel Meshtastic open-source firmware allows LoRa nodes to be used for off-grid messaging, GPS coordinates sharing, and more. The mesh network relies on nodes to communicate with each other and relay messages to other nodes if needed. However, this does not work reliably when nodes are too far apart or one node goes offline for whatever reason. That’s when Meshtastic repeaters are needed. WisMesh Repeater / Repeater Mini specifications: WisBlock RAK4631 Core Module Wireless SoC – Nordic Semi nRF52840 Cortex-M4F MCU @ 64 MHz with 1MB flash, 256 KB RAM, BLE 5.0, pre-flashed with Meshtastic firmware LoRa transceiver – Semtech SX126x series with support for Meshtastic 8xx and 9xx MHz networks 800 MHz – RU864/ IN865/ EU868 […]
