SBC preserves backwards compatability

The MVME7100 gives OEMs the flexibility to support varying I/O requirements with the same base platform, simplifying maintenance.

Emerson Network Power has released its highest performance VMEbus single-board computer (SBC), the MVME7100.

Featuring a dual core PowerPC processor and 2eSST high-speed VMEbus interface, the board is designed to enable industrial, medical and defence/aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to add performance and features while providing backwards compatibility to protect their investment in VMEbus technologies.

The MVME7100 gives OEMs the flexibility to support varying I/O requirements with the same base platform, simplifying maintenance.

It also provides optimal speed, which is achieved due to the independence of the PCI busses for each PMC site.

In addition, the board's nonvolatile memory feature prevents system memory loss in the event of a power loss.

The MVME7100 is based on the system-on-chip Freescale MPC8641D with dual PowerPC e600 processor cores, high-capacity DDR2 memory, up to 8Gbyte of NAND Flash, PCI-X, USB and 2eSST.

The MVME7100 series features dual integrated memory controllers, a DMA engine, a PCI Express interface, Gigabit Ethernet and local I/O.
