X-ES Announces XPedite5470: Freescale Eight-Core P4080 OpenVPX Module

XPedite5470 provides a new level of Power Architecture computing power with features including:
• Freescale P4080 processor with eight Power Architecture e500 cores at up to 1.5 GHz
• 8 GB DDR3-1333 ECC SDRAM in two channels
• 256 MB NOR and 16 GB NAND flash
• Hardware write-protection for NVRAM
• Serial RapidIO, x4 PCI Express, and SerDes Gigabit Ethernet interconnects
• Ethernet and serial ports

X-ES is committed to deliver Freescale Semiconductor’s QorIQ P4080 in five additional unique form factors: 3U CompactPCI, PMC/XMC, VME, 6U VPX, and 6U CompactPCI, covering the entire embedded product market. To satisfy the widest range of customer applications, from telecommunications to MIL-STD 810F military requirements, all of X-ES’s P4080 products are engineered to scale from air-cooled commercial (0 to 55ºC) to full conduction-cooled (-40 to +85ºC) with appropriate shock and vibration testing. Linux, Wind River VxWorks, QNX Neutrino, and Green Hills INTEGRITY Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available.

For high-end military compute applications, the P4080 provides PowerPC customers an easy and natural code migration for man-years of big-endian based applications, states Aaron Lindner, X-ES Engineering Manager. XPedite5470 is the latest in our VPX product line providing customers the ability to maximize system performance in a minimum number of compute slots.
