High-reliability 3U VPX embedded computing for trusted computing data processing introduced by Aitech
CHATSWORTH, Calif. – Aitech Defense Systems Inc. in Chatsworth, Calif., is introducing the C877 3U VPX single-board computer for data processing and cyber security for rugged, high-reliability, mission-critical environments that need high levels of data security and peak processing performance.
The rugged C877 combines the latest generation 12-core Intel Xeon processor and as much as 1 terabyte of on-board security-protected SATA solid-state-drive data storage with an optional large on-board Xilinx UltraScale+ field-programmable gate array (FPGA).
It also employs a high-bandwidth bus architecture and offers versatile on-board I/O interfaces, with an XMC site for additional I/O options.
The high-reliability board’s inherent security features enable secure transmission of sensitive data. Intel security includes trusted platform and secure boot as well as a BIOS guard based on TXT TPM 2.0 and BIOS security.

The on-board solid-state drive supports write protection, secure and quick erase, in addition to disk data encryption using AES 256 keys. A battery-backed tamper detection signal ensures system level protection.
The optional FPGA also is tamper-resistant, with bit stream authentication and readback limits. Provided with basic design to project data, the FPGA is generic, yet powerful enough to serve as an embedded computing on-board processor for tailoring of the end-user’s application.
It’s high-speed memory cascading removes bottlenecks in digital signal processing and packet processing, and IP interconnect optimization technology provides as much as 30 percent more performance per Watt, Aitech officials say.
The C877 is designed to handle rugged environmental factors, as well as reliability, security and trusted computing concerns. The board include 32 gigabytes of DDR4 SDRAM memory in dual channels with ECC operating at 2133 megatransfers per second.

A windowed watchdog timer, real-time clock, temperature sensor,s and elapsed time recorder combine with a VITA 46.11 Tier 1 and Tier 2 IPMI, implemented in a SmartFusion FPGA.
The C877 also accommodates two standard OpenVPX slot configurations with PCI Express ports that can accommodate Gen3 speeds. The board also supports Windows, VxWorks, and Linux software operating systems.
