P4080 processor
The SBC312 is the first Freescale QorIQ based
product to join GE Intelligent Platform’s
VPXtreme3 family of rugged 3U VPX Single
Board Computers.
Based on the Power Architecture P4080 the
SBC312 offers a huge leap in processing
performance, providing up to eight processing
cores within the power envelope of previous
dual core boards. Combined with an extensive
and flexible range of IO options, the SBC312 is
ideal for a wide range of high performance
Mil/Aero applications.
Features of the QorIQ P4080 processor
- System on Chip (SoC) processors with eight
high-performance e500 cores built on
Power Architecture Technology
- 45 nanometer technology delivers
unprecedented performance per watt
enabling power-efficient designs
- Quad and Octal-core options
Fully compatible with OpenVPX (VITA 65), the
SBC312 offers dual high-speed fabric
connectivity (10GigE and PCI Express) enabling
a range of scalable solutions from single host to
larger multiprocessor systems.
In addition the SBC312 supports a diverse I/O
set that includes Gigabit Ethernet, COM ports,
USB 2.0, SATA and GPIO.
Further incremental system resource expansion is
provided an XMC/PMC capable mezzanine site
which offers the option of having either XMC I/O
or PMC I/O routed to the VPX backplane
connectors.
Designed specifically for harsh environment
applications the SBC312 is ideal for Mil/Aero
applications where high reliability and survivability
are a must. Available in five air- and conductioncooled ruggedization levels, the SBC312 also
offers VITA48 formats for 2-level maintenance
(2LM) requirements.
The SBC312 is fully supported by comprehensive
Deployed Test Software (BIT and BCS) with OS
support planned for VxWorks®, LynxOS®, Open
Source Linux®, and Integrity.
In addition the SBC312 is also supported by GE
Intelligent Platforms innovative P2P software,
which supports the implementation of PCI Express
peer-to-peer connectivity.
