XCalibur1501

The XCalibur1501 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 dual PowerPC e500 cores running at up to 1.5 GHz, the MPC8572E delivers enhanced performance and efficiency for todayXCalibur1501s embedded computing applications.

The XCalibur1501 provides two separate channels of up to 4 GB (2 GB each) DDR2-800 ECC SDRAM, two PrPMC/XMC slots, as well as 256 MB of NOR flash (with redundancy). The XCalibur1501 also supports four Gigabit Ethernet ports, I²C, PMC I/O, XMC I/O, and RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial ports out the front panel or J5 connector.

The XCalibur1501 is a powerful, feature-rich solution for the next generation of compute intensive embedded applications. Operating system support for Wind River VxWorks, Green Hills INTEGRITY, QNX Neutrino, and Linux are available.
