Hello, developers! Welcome to DevKit Weekly.

Editorial correction: This video originally mentioned the board having HDMI ports. This was an error on our part, and no reflection of the product.

This is a good sized board from Kontron at 170 mm square, also known by the industry as mini-ITX. In the center is the socket for the 12/13/14 generation LGA1700 at a Max of 65W TDP. The K3836 mITX motherboard is the successor to the company’s D3633-S and it combines the functionality of its forerunner with the latest Intel Core processor generations and latest standards. Developed and produced in Germany, the motherboard offers two configuration options: The K3836-R and the K3836-Q. Both are powered with Intel processing. The former is equipped with Intel’s R680E chipset and has ECC support for mission-critical applications, while the latter is loaded with the Q670 chipset. Kontron is an Intel partner.

It’s got a ton of I/O built on, including VGA, USB, 2 Intel LAN ports, PCIe x16 Gen5, and display Ports supporting graphics up to 8K resolutions.

The K3836 platform is built to be particularly reliable thanks to 24/7 continuous operation at temperatures up to 60°C, and it has adjustable CPU performance for any use case from entry-level to high performance IPC. This makes it suited for applications in the industrial, medicine, automotive infotainment and other areas, Kontron says.
