Architekture overview

The many-core CX20x2 Embedded PCs all have the same architecture, which is structured as follows:

The CX20x2 Embedded PCs are based on the Broadwell microarchitecture developed by Intel. The following CPUs are used:

• Intel® Xeon® D-1527,
• Intel® Xeon® D-1548,
• and Intel® Xeon® D-1567.

In addition to the arithmetic unit, the CPU also houses the memory controller. The memory is connected directly to the memory controller. The Embedded PCs are available in three memory configurations: 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB DDR4 RAM. The memory configuration must be ordered from the factory and is not expandable.

The CX20x2 Embedded PCs have a graphics card with a separate 2 GB RAM memory. This separation of CPU RAM and GPU RAM prevents inhibitory influences between the two processing units.

The CX20x2 Embedded PCs feature all common interfaces:

• 4 x USB 3.0
• 1x USB 2.0 internal (power supply unit control button / display).
• DVI-I interface. Second interface optional: DVI-D or DisplayPort.
• 1 PCIe lane for each of the two Intel^® WGI210IT Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
• LPC interface for super I/O controller for serial interface (CX20x0-N03x).
• 4 PCIe lanes via the multi-pole connection (left).
• 1 PCIe to FPGA for K-/E-bus and NOVRAM.
• 2x SATA internal via the multi-pole connection (right).
• 2x USB internal via the multi-pole connection (right).

The interfaces (USB, DVI, and LAN) are standard interfaces. Devices that meet the corresponding standard can be connected to and operated at these interfaces. A VGA monitor can be connected to the DVI-I interface with an adapter.

Intel^® WGI210IT Gigabit Ethernet controllers are used as network controllers. There are two independent LAN interfaces. Both LAN interfaces are gigabit-capable and support jumbo frames.
