Intel® Core™i7 Processor-Based 6U Conduction- or Air-Cooled VME Module

Description

The XCalibur4331 is a high-performance 6U VME single-board multiprocessing computer that is ideal for ruggedized systems requiring high bandwidth processing and low power consumption. With the Intel® Core™i7 processor, the XCalibur4331 delivers enhanced performance and efficiency for today's network information processing and embedded computing applications.

The XCalibur4331 provides two seperate channels of up to 16 GB (8 GB each) DDR3-1066 ECC SDRAM, two PrPMC/PrXMC slots, 8 MB of NOR flash and up to 128 GB of NAND flash. The XCalibur4331 also supports four Gigabit Ethernet ports, one DVI graphics port, I²C, PMC I/O, XMC I/O, and RS-232/422/485 serial ports out the back panel.

The XCalibur4331 is a powerful, feature-rich solution for the next generation of computationally intensive embedded applications. Operating system support for VxWorks, QNX, Linux and Windows are available.
