ANDOVER, Mass. – Mercury Systems Inc. in Andover, Mass., is introducing the model 8257A development platform aligned to the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard.

Featuring a single-slot 3U VPX backplane and integrated power supply, the 8257A enables engineers to accelerate sensor processing applications development in a SOSA aligned desktop environment.

The model 8257A accepts 3U VPX conduction-cooled boards and uses integral fans for air cooling, enabling development on a rugged and conduction-cooled board in a desktop or benchtop environment.

It is designed to accommodate Mercury's Quartz model 5550 or 5553, eight-channel A/D and D/A converter 3U OpenVPX embedded computing modules based on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RF system-on-chip (RFSoC), both aligned with the recently released technical standard for SOSA Reference Architecture 1.0.

Developers can connect a notebook or desktop PC running Xilinx's Vivado design suite and Mercury's Navigator design suite to develop, run, and debug their applications.
