CompactPCI PlusIO single-board computer for industrial uses introduced by MEN Micro
AMBLER, Pa., 15 July 2013. MEN Micro Inc. in Ambler, Pa., is introducing the F22P, CompactPCI PlusIO single-board computer that uses the third-generation Intel Core i7 processor for avionics and space technology, medical engineering, and transportation. applications.
Offering processing speeds to 3.3 GHz using Intel's Turbo Boost technology, the low-power single-board computer delivers graphics processing for computing environments requiring intense data throughput.
The F22P is an expansion of the scalable CompactPCI PlusIO embedded computing family, serving to bridge legacy CompactPCI systems with newer CompactPCI serial-based boards. It is backward-compatible with all single-board computers complying with PICMG 2.30 and PICMG 2.0.
Equipped with special components from the Intel embedded line, the F22P has a guaranteed minimum availability of seven years. Standard front I/O includes a VGA graphics port as well as two ports each for Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0.
Additional functions, including digital video interfaces via DVI and a multitude of UARTs, USBs, SATA and HD audio, can be implemented by connecting extension cards. Rear I/O incorporates four each of PCI Express, USB and SATA ports as well as a 1 Gigabit Ethernet interface.
The single-board computer includes 16 gigabytes of DDR3 DRAM memory with ECC functionality and 64 megabits of boot Flash. An mSATA disk and a microSD card connected via USB give the board almost unlimited memory space for specific applications.
All components, including onboard memory, are firmly soldered against shock and vibration. The single-board computer, which operates from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius, is prepared for conformal coating against humidity and dust.
Different watchdogs for monitoring the processor and board temperatures, as well as a Trusted Platform Module chip, top off the functionality of the F22P. The single-board computer ships with board support packages (BSPs) for Windows and Linux.
