Commell’s 3.5-inch “LS-37K” SBC supports 6th or 7th Gen Core S-series and Xeon-E3-1200 v5 CPUs with up to 16GB DDR4, triple displays, 2x SATA, and mSATA.

Commell announced a 3.5-inch SBC with Intel’s 6th (“Skylake”) or 7th (“Kaby Lake”) Gen Core S-series and Xeon-E3-1200 v5 CPUs. The LS-37K’s layout and feature set are similar to that of its Skylake based LE-37I and LE-37G 3.5-inch boards. As usual, no OS support is listed, but Linux should run with no problem.

Unlike Aaeon’s GENE-KBU6 and Diamond’s Venus 3.5-inchers, which use 6th Gen U-Series chips, the LS-37K joins Axiomtek’s 3.5-inch CAPA50 in supporting faster, but less power efficient 6th and 7th Gen processors that use the LGA1151 socket. That also includes the server-class Xeon-E3-1200.

The 146 x 101mm LS-37K supports up to 16GB DDR4, and offers dual SATA III interfaces and mSATA, made available via the sole mini-PCIe slot. Triple displays are supported with a choice of five different display interfaces: 4K-ready coastline DisplayPort and HDMI ports plus DVI, VGA, and LVDS interfaces.

Dual GbE ports are provided along 4x coastline USB 3.0 ports. There are also 2x USB 2.0 and five serial interfaces, one of which is accessible via a DB-9. Other I/O includes audio in and out, 8-bit DIO, and more. You also get a watchdog, RTC, and a wide-range 9-32V DC input.
