Latest Trenton Systems SBC Delivers Higher Performance with Expanded Data Storage and Media Capabilities

The TKL8255 is the latest single board computer to continue Trenton Systems' heritage of delivering the processing performance, dependability, and SBC longevity you count on to deliver stable computing hardware platforms.

Trenton Systems TKL8255 Intel Skylake PICMG 1.3 SBC


Skylake-S processors provide modern security and performance

This new PICMG 1.3 single board computer is driven by your choice of a long-life Intel processor; developed under the Skylake code name, and features support for DDR4 system memory, native PCIe 3.0 links, USB 3.0, three video ports and an on-board M.2 connector for supporting a plug-in NVMe storage module.

TKL8255 single board computer features:

  • Multi-core Skylake-S processors for reliable performance
  • All-digital display interfaces for graphically-intensive applications
  • On-board RAID supports a 6-drive SATA/600 storage array
  • Full x4 PCIe M.2 Slot delivers max. bandwidth to PCIe SSDs
  • 5-year product warranty maximises system ROI
  • Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 v5 or Intel® Core­­ 6000 Processor Options
  • 4 x DDR4-2133 Standard DIMMs
  • 1 x M.2 Interface Driven by x4 PCIe 3.0 Link for NVMe Modules
  • 3 x Video Interfaces (1, Display Port and 2, DVI-D Headers)
  • On-Board HD-Audio Interface Header
  • 4 x USB 3.0 and 6 - USB 2.0 Interface Ports
  • 3 x Ethernet LANs
  • Full-Length Aluminum Backer Plate
  • Deployment risks lowered with 7+ Years SBC Availability

In this short (2:20) video we will step you through some of the new SBC interfaces including the x4 PCIe 3.0, M.2 NVMe interface.


The NVMe memory technology continues to evolve, and coupled with the developments in the M.2 module format offers some interesting options for high-speed data storage in a PICMG 1.3 rackmount computer.

Engineering tests with the Trenton Systems TKL8255 single board computer deployed in a typical PICMG 1.3 system indicates that M.2/NVMe storage driven with x4 PCI Express link is roughly:
  • 8x faster than traditional SATA HDDs and 
  • 2x faster than traditional SATA SDDs.
