Biostar has released the BIWCL-PAT, a new industrial motherboard designed for edge computing and automation. The board features support for the latest Intel Core Series 3 chips in a compact form factor.
Why it matters
This release provides a small-footprint hardware platform for developers building AIoT, HMI, and POS systems that require modern, high-speed data connectivity in constrained industrial spaces.
The motherboard measures 148 by 102 millimeters and supports up to 64GB of DDR5-6400 RAM. It delivers dual 2.5GbE LAN ports and supports triple display output via HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and LVDS.
The players
Biostar
A hardware manufacturer specializing in industrial motherboards, motherboards for general computing, and specialized IPC hardware.
Intel
A semiconductor company known for designing the x86 architecture and current Core Series 3 processors used in edge computing platforms.
The details
The BIWCL-PAT achieves triple independent display output by multiplexing signals across three dedicated interfaces: HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and LVDS, a standard for flat-panel screen communication. Network flexibility is managed through an onboard SIM slot and an M.2 Key-B slot, which facilitate cellular access for remote edge deployments. Hardware-level security is enforced via an integrated TPM 2.0 module, which provides cryptographic functions for system integrity.
