SOSA-Aligned 3U VPX SBC Touts Intel Tiger Lake-H Xeon-W CPU

The VPX processor board follows SOSA’s I/O-intensive profile to provide high-performance computing and a range of I/O interfaces for rugged embedded systems.

Acromag's VPX7600 single-board computer (SBC), which delivers high-performance computing and a range of I/O interfaces for rugged embedded systems, aligns with the SOSA I/O-intensive profile. The 3U OpenVPX SBC leverages Intel’s 11th-Generation Tiger Lake-H Xeon W-11000E processor, an XMC mezzanine site, and a variety of I/O peripherals for enhanced flexibility.

Intel’s E810 Ethernet controller supports 100GbE on the data plane and 10GbE on the control plane, with an NVMe SSD that provides up to 1 TB of M.2 storage. The backplane I/O includes 2.5 GbE, DisplayPort, USB 3.2, SATA III, RS-232/422, and GPIO, with conduction- and air-cooled front-I/O versions available.

Supporting defense, aerospace, and scientific applications, the base model has Intel’s W-11865MRE 8-core CPU with 32-GB dual-channel DDR4 ECC SDRAM and a 64-GB NVMe M.2 BGA SSD. A PCIe Gen 4 x8 interface to the Intel E810 100GbE controller ports 100GBASE-KR4 on the data plane and 10GBASE-KR on the control plane to P1. P2 connects a 2.5GBASE-T/1GBASE-T Ethernet port with TSN support.

4K video resolution is supported by a DisplayPort 1.4 interface with HBR3 data rates on the backplane. The XMC site host interface provides eight lanes of Gen4 PCIe to P15 and P16 rear I/O or front I/O access on the air-cooled version. An FPGA implements a Crossfield Technology HOST 3.0 / VITA 46.11 Tier 3 / IPMI 1.5 Compliant IPMC. Board support packages are available for Windows, Linux, and VxWorks.
