Low-power 6U VME SBC Enhances Computing in Data- and Event-driven Rugged Applications

CHATSWORTH, Calif., Oct. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aitech Defense Systems Inc. now offers a new rugged 6U VME single board computer (SBC) that brings the powerful QorIQ T1042, or higher performance T2081, multi-core processor to embedded systems, significantly increasing previous generation computing capabilities. The C114 is backward compatible with Aitech's popular earlier generation PPC-based C106 and C108 boards, while incorporating the NXP Secure Boot and Trust 2.0 Architecture for improved data security.

Technical Highlights

• NXP QorIQ multi-core processor in rugged, low-power 6U VME SBC (T1042 or T2081)
• Extensive on-board memory and I/O resources with PMC/XMC expansion
• Compatible with existing C10x Series SBCs
• Enhanced data security features and on-board resources

Out-of-the-box functionality enables the C114 to be easily integrated into a wide number of applications, including advanced fire control, SatComms processing and multi-gimbal platform stabilization as well as avionics mission management and flight control, servo, process and machine control, and more. 

Emil Kheyfets, Director, Military and Aerospace Product Management of Aitech, noted, "With the large, diverse install base of VME, we need ways to utilize existing systems as well as incorporate upgraded electronics that meet the demands of today's applications.  Providing backward-compatible SBCs that can also keep pace with the growing data requirements, and provide a longer program lifecycle, preserves that infrastructure, while moving the industry forward."

Supporting either the T1042 and T2081 QorIQ PowerPC processors, the new C114 allows users to balance power, functionality and performance with the cost targets needed to satisfy their program requirements.  The T1042 QorIQ PowerPC provides four e5500 cores, while the T2081 provides four e6500 cores, each with a dedicated AltiVec vector co-processor for heavy computational performance.

Extensive, large, soldered on-board memory with ECC and a wide array of I/O resources enable developers to build out custom functionality for highly reliable user-specific applications. 

The 4 GB of DDR3L SDRAM comes with ECC and the 512 kB of high speed MRAM offers unlimited writes as well as long-term data retention.
