Description

The XCalibur1541 is a high-performance 6U VPX single-board multiprocessing computer that is ideal for ruggedized systems requiring high bandwidth processing and low power consumption. With dual PowerPC e500 cores running at up to 1.5 GHz, the MPC8572E delivers enhanced performance and efficiency for today's embedded computing applications.

The XCalibur1541 provides two separate channels of up to 4 GB (2 GB each) DDR2-800 ECC SDRAM, two PrPMC/PrXMC slots, as well as 256 MB of NOR flash (with redundancy). The XCalibur1541 also supports four Gigabit Ethernet ports, PMC I/O, XMC I/O, and RS-232/422/485 serial ports out the front panel and/or VPX backplane connectors.

The XCalibur1541 is a powerful, feature-rich solution for the next generation of computationally intensive embedded applications. Operating system support for VxWorks, Windows, QNX and Linux are available.
