ADLINK provides standard support for Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, as well as VxWorks upon request. The company also provides the COM-HPC Mini base ATX carrier board for evaluation with two Ethernet ports, DP and eDP connectors, PCIe x8 and x4 slots, audio jacks, a range of USB ports, and more.

The COM-HPC-mPTL is the first COM-HPC (Mini) computer-on-module we’ve covered here with an Intel Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” processor, but congatec is also working on the conga-HPC/mPTL with similar features. The COM-HPC Mini module can also be seen as a more compact variant of the ADLINK Express-PTL COM Express Type 6 module that takes DDR5 DO-DIMM memory, instead of soldered-on LPDDR5 memory.

ADLINK didn’t provide availability and pricing information for the COM-HPC-mPTL computer-on-module, and for reference, the product page is still shown as “preliminary”.
