Cometh the hour cometh the Gigabit Ethernet switch
The ComEth4100 Gigabit Ethernet switch range offers nine or ten GigaEthernet 10/100/1000 ports, of which one can be equipped with a 1000SX/LX optic interface.
Carrier caters for comms applications
Interface Concept has a new VME64x 2eSST carrier for PMC/PrPMC/XMC modules for use in high-performance communications applications.
To complete the processor, the board implements a Marvell Discovery III chipset (MV64460).
This chip includes major enhancements such as: data streaming on MPX bus, read memory latency and cache coherency improvements.
The MV64460, adds, on-chip, 2Mbit of high speed burst SRAM, two XOR DMA (useful for RAID, iSCSI) and four IDMA engines.
The memory banks are made of up to 2Gbyte of DDR-ECC SDRAM, up to 256Mbyte Mirror Flash and up to 1Gbyte of soldered NAND Flash.
A quad UART provides four additional asynchronous channels available on P2 connector.
The 64bit PCI/PCI-X bridge allows the IC-xe6-cPCIb to handle two PMC slots with PnIO routed to J3/J5.
Thanks to its SATA controller, the IC-xe6-cPCIb can manage directly four storage devices.
The IC-e6-cPCIb provides one gigabit Ethernet, one console, one USB2 (High/Full speed) and two SATA ports on the front panel.
A 6U rear transition module (option) adds two gigabit Ethernet, two USB2, two SATA, and four RS232/422 ports connections.
PMC I/Os are located on an onboard internal RTM HE10 connector.
The IC-e6-cPCIb basic software is based on Uboot together with a comprehensive power-on built-in test and a set of maintenance tools.
A board support package (BSP) and an enhanced BSP are provided with the board for VxWorks and Linux operating systems.
This board has been designed to meet the most severe environments (standard, extended and rugged grades) Prices start at US $3950.
