SBC supports Freescale chips

Extreme Engineering Solutions Inc. debuts the XCalibur1641 OpenVPX-compliant single board computer (SBC) that can be either conduction or air-cooled. The SBC is targeted at military applications.

The SBC's stock processor is a Freescale P4080 with eight PowerPC e500mc cores at up to 1.5GHz. It is also available with a quad-core P3041, quad-core P4040, single-core P5010, dual-core P5020, or quad-core P5040 processor. It supports up to 16GB of DDR3-1333 ECC SDRAM in two channels, up to 512MB of boot flash (with redundancy), up to 64GB of user flash, and up to 256GB of optional SATA user flash.

Standard I/O for the XCalibur1641 includes four Gigabit Ethernet ports, up to five SATA 3.0 Gbit/s ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and two RS-232/422/485 serial ports. Application-specific I/O is added easily via dual PMC/XMC sites with an 8x PCIe interface to each XMC site. Supported Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available for Green Hills INTEGRITY and INTEGRITY-178B tuMP, Wind River VxWorks, and Linux.

The XCalibur1641 joins the X-ES Freescale P4080 product line, which includes the XCalibur1600 6U CompactPCI module, XPedite5430 3U CompactPCI module, and XPedite5470 3U VPX SBC, as well as the XPedite5400 and XPedite5401 PMC/XMC modules.
