COM-HPC v1.3 standard supports PCIe Gen6, boosts high-performance computing

The COM-HPC® Revision 1.3 specification from PICMG updates the Computer-on-Module standard with support for PCI Express Gen 6 and Compute Express Link (CXL), enabling higher data throughput and coherent connectivity for memory and accelerator resources in embedded systems. The revision also adds support for MIPI-CSI C-PHY, Modern Standby (S0ix) power states, expanded GPIO and I2S functionality, and an extended DC input range for server-class and edge computing designs. Mechanical updates introduce additional connector options and suppliers, supporting broader ecosystem compatibility for applications in industrial automation, medical systems and high-performance edge computing.
