Intel® Core™i7 Processor-Based Conduction- or Air-Cooled 6U CompactPCI Single Board Computer

Description

The XCalibur4401 is a high-performance 6U CompactPCI single board, multiprocessing computer that is ideal for ruggedized systems requiring high bandwidth processing and low power consumption. With the Intel Core i7 processor (Sandy Bridge), the XCalibur4401 delivers enhanced performance and efficiency for today's network information processing and embedded computing applications.

The XCalibur4401 provides two separate channels of up to 16 GB DDR3-1333 ECC SDRAM, two PrPMC/PrXMC slots, 32 MB of NOR flash and up to 128 GB of NAND flash. The XCalibur4401 also supports Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, I²C, USB, PMC I/O, XMC I/O, and DVI graphics out the connectors.

The XCalibur4401 is a powerful, feature-rich solution for the next generation of compute intensive embedded applications. Operating system support for Wind River VxWorks, QNX Neutrino, Linux Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available, as well as Windows drivers.
