3.5-inch Atom x6000E embedded SBC features 3x GbE, 2x SATA, 6x USB, and more

Several Elkhart Lake SBC’s integrate two Ethernet ports including Avalue ECM-EHL 3.5-inch SBC or Congatec Conga-PA7 Pico-ITX board with the former equipped with 2.5GbE and GbE ports, and the latter two GbE ports.

But if your industrial project requires more Ethernet ports, iBase IB836 3.5-inch Atom x6000E embedded SBC offers three Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, as well as two SATA ports, six USB interfaces, plus various display options, as well as M.2 and mPCIe expansion sockets.

There’s no information about supported operating systems on iBase website and documents, but a separate product page on Intel website says iBase IB836 SBC can run Ubuntu to Windows Embedded. While only Atom x6000E processors are shown in the specs, the board’s description indicates Celeron and Pentium Elkhart Lake may also become an option.

The company promises a 15-year life cycle to match availability requirements in smart retail, intelligent transportation, healthcare, and industrial automation applications. While the product page is shown as “preliminary”, mass production is said to have started on the 11th of November 2020, and the sample price ranges from $250 to $499.
