duagon G28 embedded single-board computer

duagon introduces the G28, a 3U CompactPCI serial CPU board featuring the 11th generation Intel Core and Intel Xeon W-11000E Series processors/Tiger Lake-H CPUs. With up to eight cores and up to 64 GB RAM, the single-board computer is suitable for high-end embedded computing in the rail onboard, rail wayside, and medical and critical automation industries. Optional 10 GbE interfaces allow for high data throughput and direct connection to the network backbone.

In terms of memory configuration, up to 64 GB DDR4 DRAM with ECC is supported. It is soldered to the board, and the components are underfilled and additionally coated for optimum shock and vibration resistance and durability against harsh environmental conditions. The CPU scalability from 25 to 45 W TDP and four to eight cores allows operation in ambient temperatures of up to +85°C with active cooling.

For rail onboard markets, the product is used as a central maintenance and virtualisation platform and main computing unit for passenger Wi-Fi and internet access. As part of a rail wayside server system, the computer is used for condition monitoring. In the medical and automation industries, it is used for robotics applications.

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) is assembled on the device to provide support for remote device authentication, measured boot and secure updates. An independent board management controller (BMC) monitors onboard voltages, current and temperature, and performs dedicated tasks like external watchdog management, power supply control and reset handling.

For I/O connections, the product features three RJ45 or two M12 Ethernet front connectors, one USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 connector and one USB-C connector for one USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 and one DisplayPort. Main backplane interfaces include four SATA (6 Gb), eight PCIe 3.0 root ports with various lane configurations x1, x4, x8, and two 1 Gb Ethernet ports.

Supported operating systems include Linux Yocto Project distributions, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 64-bit as well as real-time operating systems that support Intel’s multi-core architecture. The G28 is backwards compatible to the predecessor products G25, G25A and G23.
