VPX SBC for Defense & Aerospace
Key Features
NXP QorIQ T4241 processor (12 cores, PowerPC e6500 with AltiVec) @ 1.8 GHz
6 GB DDR3L ECC SDRAM main memory
Onboard Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA for custom I/O and data routing
Multi-plane fabric connectivity (PCIe, SRIO) for high-bandwidth data exchange
Dual 10G Ethernet and triple Gigabit Ethernet to VPX backplane
Custom Rear Transition Module (RTM) support for extended I/O (ESM architecture)
Rugged air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions available
Supports multiple operating systems/BSPs (Linux, VxWorks)
Overview
- It provides the same high performance multi-core processing as the standard version, with additional support for custom rear transition modules to expand I/O.
- This makes it ideal for applications requiring extra I/O flexibility in harsh defense and aerospace environments.
