Trenton Systems TKL8255 series system host board

The Trenton Systems TKL8255 system host board is a PICMG 1.3 compliant single-board computer that leverages the latest interconnects and bus topologies, supported by an Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 (Skylake) or select Intel Core processors, to deliver high performance with expanded media and data storage capabilities.

By using the latest processor and chipset technology, the product is said to provide greater efficiency and performance per watt than previous PICMG 1.3-based systems. This means that existing PICMG 1.3 deployments can be upgraded to deliver increased processing performance with reduced power consumption while maintaining support for legacy applications.

Features include four memory slots for 288-pin DDR4 ECC DIMMs in two channels with support for up to 64 GB of memory, plus an onboard M.2 slot supporting the latest x4 PCIe 3.0 ultrafast NVMe solid-state storage modules. Additional I/O includes support for multiple 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, multiple USB 3 and USB 2 interfaces, six SATA/600 storage interfaces and support for common legacy COMMs including RS232/422/485 and PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Fully digital video is provided by the Intel processor integrated HD graphics engine with support up to 4096 x 2304 resolution via two DVI and one DisplayPort connector.

The board maximises system ROI with long-life embedded components which drive extended SBC product availability for more than seven years. It is designed with a standard BIOS version that is maintained under strict revision control.
