Intelligent ePMC Carrier Board and I/O Expansion Daughter Board PRO-1900

The flexComm PRO-1900 and PRO-1901 provide an intelligent VME-based carrier platform with four enhanced PMC (ePMC) sites and one PMC site. The PRO-1900 employs a 200 MHz MPC8240 PowerPC embedded controller with 16 MB of flash and 64 MB of SDRAM to facilitate network communication and provide support for high-level control and protocol stack processing. One of the key benefits of the PRO-1900 and PRO-1901 is that they employ several communications fabrics to provide high-speed data flow between system elements. These fabrics include the Solano Communications IC and local PCI buses. The PRO-1900 can be purchased independently as a single-slot VME solution, or with the PRO-1901 to create a dual-slot solution with a single integrated front panel. High-speed communications fabric based on the Solano® Communications IC supports sustained data transfers of over 200 MB/s full-duplex on any link Each ePMC site has up to 8 Solano~links to other ePMC sites and the front panel. Each link supports 200 MB/s (full duplex) The PRO-1900 contains a FreescaleTM MPC8240 PowerPCTM embedded controller with 16 MB flash and 64 MB of SDRAM Up to four enhanced PMC (ePMC) sites and a single PMC site PRO-1900 and PRO-1901 each have a local 64-bit 33 MHz PCI bus capable of 264 MB/s peak bandwidth Software support includes quicComm, VxWorks® 5.5/Tornado II®, and CORBA (TAO ORB) Benefits High-speed, low latency, deterministic data paths to and from mezzanine sites and between boards are facilitated by multiple communications fabrics Accelerate application development by exploiting communications infrastructure and system control provided by an embedded controller Extensive software support simplifies application development, speeds time-to- market and ensures code portability
