ECM-ARL
Series: ECM

The Avalue ECM-ARL is a 3.5-inch industrial SBC powered by Intel Core Ultra 5 processors (225U/225H), combining strong multi-threaded performance and integrated AI acceleration with a single DDR5 6400MHz SO-DIMM socket supporting up to 48GB. Onboard TPM 2.0 and a compact board-level form factor make it a secure, capable engine for edge AI, machine vision, and advanced industrial control. The ECM-ARL drives up to four independent displays through DisplayPort 1.4a (up to 7680x4320 @ 30Hz), USB Type-C DisplayPort (4096x2160 @ 60Hz), HDMI 2.0b (3840x2160 @ 60Hz) and an LVDS/eDP channel. PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe storage via M.2 Key-M, an M.2 Key-B slot with 5G/WWAN+GNSS SIM support or SATA, and an M.2 Key-E slot for Wi-Fi, plus a SATA III port, deliver flexible storage and wireless expansion for Windows and Linux systems.
