IoT Prototype Kit is powered by an Alder Lake-H COM Express module with up to Core i5-12600HE CPU

ADLINK has launched an IP-i IoT Prototype Kit based on their Express-ADP COM Express Type 6 Basic “Alder Lake-H” module with either an Intel Core i5-12600HE 12-core (4P+8E) processor clocked at up to 4.5 GHz or a Core i3-12300HE 8-core (4P+4E) processor reaching up to 4.3 GHz.

The kit also includes the Express-BASE6 R3.1 carrier board, a thick heatsink with an active fan, a debug board (DB30 x86), and various cables for SATA storage, a DB9 COM port, and I/Os, and the kit can be used to develop applications for industrial automation and control, medical ultrasound, image processing and analysis, high-speed video encoding and streaming, predictive traffic analysis, multi camera-based AI, etc…

IoT Prototype Kit Intel Alder Lake-P moduleThe Express-ADP module supports up to 64GB DDR5 memory, optional on-module NVMe storage, up to 4x 4K displays, multiple PCIe Gen4 and Gen3 interfaces, SATA 3.0, and so on.

Alder Lake-H IoT devkit connectors

The company provides Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows 10 images for the IoT prototype kit as well as documentation to help users get started with either Windows or Ubuntu, upgrading the BIOS, or even using the Intel OpenVINO AI framework. The BIOS can be flashed with the included DB30 x86 board shown below.

This kind of hardware would be typically reserved to companies planning volume production of products with the COM Express modules, but ADLINK appears to sell it to whoever wants it with the Core i5-12600HE Alder Lake-H kit going for $865.00, and the Core i3-12300HE currently out of stock.

Should be corrected to read “HE” instead of “H” throughout the article. There’s no i3-12300H SKU, but there is an i5-12600H mobile Alder Lake SKU.

Intel should put a 4+4 SKU on desktop in the future, instead of just 4+0 (e.g. i3-13100).
