XCalibur4331

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

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 separate channels of up to 16 GB (8 GB each) DDR3-1066 ECC SDRAM, two PrPMC/PrXMC slots, 32 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/RS-422/RS-485 serial ports out the back panel.

The XCalibur4331 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, and Windows is available.
