What is the ESM-HRPL?

It is a COM-HPC Client Size C module (160 x 120 mm) built on Intel 12/13/14th Gen and Series 2 Refresh Core i9/i7/i5/i3 processors with the Intel R680E chipset, for high-performance, upgrade-ready embedded designs.

COM-HPC is the PICMG high-performance Computer-on-Module standard (successor to COM Express) for compute-intensive applications, separating the CPU subsystem from a custom carrier board.

Which processors does the ESM-HRPL support?

Intel 12th/13th/14th Generation and Series 2 Gen Refresh Core i9/i7/i5/i3 on LGA 1700, up to 65W maximum.

How much memory does the ESM-HRPL support?

Four 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM sockets up to 128GB at 3600MT/s, with optional ECC depending on the CPU.

What PCIe expansion does the ESM-HRPL provide?

1x PCIe x16 Gen5, 1x PEG x4 Gen4, 3x PCIe x4 Gen4, 2x PCIe x4 Gen3 (from PCH), and 1x PCIe x1 Gen3 for BMC on the carrier.

What networking does the ESM-HRPL offer?

Two Intel i226-LM 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controllers.

How many displays can the ESM-HRPL drive?

Up to four independent displays via 3x DDI (configurable DP1.4a or HDMI2.1b) plus 1x eDP1.4b, with Intel UHD Graphics 770.

What storage and USB does the ESM-HRPL provide?

2x SATA III and 4x USB 3.2 Gen2x2 plus 8x USB 2.0.

Does the ESM-HRPL include hardware security?

Optionally — a Nuvoton NPCT754 TPM 2.0 is available for hardware key storage and platform integrity.

What is the ESM-HRPL's operating temperature range?

With a CPU cooler it supports 0°C ~ 60°C operating (with 0.5m/s airflow) and -20°C ~ 75°C storage.

What is the form factor of the ESM-HRPL?

COM-HPC Client Size C, 160 x 120 mm.

Why use a COM-HPC module instead of a full custom board?

It isolates the high-performance CPU subsystem onto a standardised module, so the carrier can be reused and the compute upgraded without redesigning the whole system — reducing risk and lifecycle cost.

What applications is the ESM-HRPL best suited for?

Edge-AI, medical imaging, industrial servers, and machine vision needing scalable, long-lifecycle high-performance x86 compute.
