| Following on from the company's commitment, announced in May, to the creation of a family of 3U VPX form factor solutions, Radstone Embedded Computing has announced the first two members of a new family of 6U VPX form factor solutions. Further announcements of additional 6U VPX products are expected in the near future. The 6U VPX form factor DSP230 is an advanced, fully rugged multiprocessor solution featuring quad Freescale 8641D processors and 4Gbyte of DDR2 SDRAM. Serial RapidIO enables a broad range of connectivity options, while support for PCI Express provides customers with access to extensive end point solutions, as well as a link to the onboard XMC site. The SBC610 6U VPX single board computer is also based on the Freescale 8641D processor and, like the DSP230, supports both Serial RapidIO and PCI Express. With 2Gbyte of memory, the SBC610 achieves significant configuration flexibility through the provision of two XMC or PMC sites, together with a site for Radstone's unique AFIX (Additional Flexible Interface Extension) daughter card. The four fabric ports on the SBC610 can be individually set to be either PCI Express or Serial RapidIO. 'With this announcement, we believe that Radstone has made the most complete commitment to the VPX standard of any manufacturer in the embedded computing market for military systems', said Peter Cavill, President of Radstone Embedded Computing. |
