MicroTCA System provides room for development
The SY AMC/205 comes pre-loaded with a dual-core processor AMC, a graphics and storage-disk AMC and a MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH) which leaves three AMC slots available for system development.
Commercial and extended temperature versions are now available and conduction-cooled or air-cooled versions will be available shortly.
Applications for this family of boards are found in the defence, industrial control and transportation markets.
The VP 417/03x board supports the 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 processor (in a socket) or 1.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo L7400 processor (soldered), each with 4Mbyte L2 cache (shared between the cores).
Both processors support 64bit operating systems.
By using appropriate operating systems and applications software, computing performance twice that of an Intel Pentium M processor is achievable.
The Intel Thermal Design Power (TDP) for the 2.16GHz dual core processor is 34W, compared to 27W TDP for the single-core 2.0GHz Intel Pentium M processor 760.
The Intel E7520 server class chipset and Intel 6300ESB ICH are used to complement the processor to achieve a high-performance, low-power core architecture.
VITA 31.1 Gigabit Ethernet on a VME64x backplane enables a tried and tested method of implementing a LAN-based multiprocessor architecture by leveraging readily available Ethernet hardware, TCP/IP software, clustering and other network management tools.
Using standard networking techniques offers an efficient method of remote booting boards within the chassis, as well as simplified intercommunication between boards.
It can be used as a method of offloading tasks from the standard VME backplane, improving overall application efficiency.
VITA 31.1 is suitable for applications such as data acquisition, radar data processing or those requiring data synchronisation across multiple system boards.
The front panel supports dual PMC, analogue graphics, keyboard and mouse interfaces, and includes an additional USB and an additional RS232 interface.
64Mbyte of Application Flash memory caters for embedded applications.
The VP 417/03x supports Linux, Windows XP Embedded, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Solaris, LynxOS, QNX and VxWorks.
