PowerPC boards combine big memory with networking
The Xpedite1000 (PrPMC) and XChange1100 (6U, cPCI) both offer a unique combination of high speed 333MHz DDR SDRAM coupled with dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
"The versatile PowerPC 440GX combines the high performance and lower power necessary in conduction cooled hardware solutions, such as the XPedite1032", commented, Sam Fuller, AMCC's Vice President of Marketing, Embedded Products.
"We are pleased that Extreme Engineering has selected our processor as an integral part of its technology rich, environmentally demanding product offering".
EmbVue's A-Stack network stack is the first COTS real-time Ethernet stack which addresses fault tolerant TCP/IP and UDP/IP for environments which require a safety-critical DO-178B (Level A) and/or secure network stack.
A-Stack supports a subset implementation of the industry standard ARINC 664 aircraft data network specification and Internet services for aircraft systems.
A-Stack is available directly from EmbVue.
XPedite1032 dissipates a miniscule 8.5W and operates up to 85C without forced airflow in extended shock and vibration environs.
XPedite1032 supports dual Gigabit Ethernet and serial interfaces through J2, 128-256Mbyte of SDRAM and 16-128Mbyte of Flash memory while delivering 1334DMIPS of processing performance.
Extreme Engineering directly supports Linux, WindRiver VxWorks and Green Hills Integrity software for XPedite1032.
Each LSP/BSP has been tested to ensure easy system integration with conduction-cooled PMCs or other 3U cards.
