• Five Levels of Ruggedization
The SBC626 Rugged Single Board Computer
(SBC) features the high performance, highly
integrated 4th Generation Intel Core i7
processor platform, which offers integrated
graphics and ECC memory controllers plus
quad-core processing up to 2.4 GHz all in one
device (22 nm monolithic process).
Coupled with the Mobile Intel QM87 Express
Chipset this provides an unmatched level
of I/O bandwidth for both on-board and
off-board functions.
Features of the 4th Gen. Core i7 processor
• 15% compute and up to 30% 3D performance improvement over 3rd Gen
• Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) signal
processing (new instructions)
• Intelligent performance on demand with
Intel Turbo Boost Technology
• PCIe GEN 3 (8 GT/sec) and USB 3.0 (10x the
bandwidth of 2.0) data transfer capability
®
Windows® / Linux® and real-time
• Hyper-Thread Technology – 2 threads
per core
• OpenCL 1.2 support (up to 40
execution units)
In addition to a comprehensive range of
onboard I/O features, the SBC626 also offers
on-board XMC mezzanine expansion sites for
enhanced system flexibility. Memory resources
include up to 32 GB DDR3 SDRAM with ECC,
and 32 GB onboard SSD (NAND Flash).
The SBC626 is designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications from
industrial through to fully rugged defense
and aerospace programs. It offers extended
temperature capability and a range of air
and conduction cooled build levels.
A rich software choice is planned for the
SBC626, including comprehensive Deployed
Test Software (FSP-enabled BIT, and BCS)
plus operating system support for Microsoft
Windows 7, Open Linux (Fedora), Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, Wind River Linux, and
VxWorks
available for integrating ‘chain of trust’ operation (from power-up to application start),
plus Wind River’s FSP-enabled VxWorks
Boot Loader, into system scenarios.
Security Hub
The SBC626 includes an optional Security
Hub FPGA. The FPGA combines a mix
of passive and active features to allow
customers to develop a robust on-board
anti-tamper capability.
