The XPedite5970 is a 3U OpenVPX™ REDI single board computer based on the Freescale QorIQ T2080 processor. The XPedite5970 provides a rugged, feature-rich processing solution that maximizes the performance-per-watt capabilities of a Power Architecture®-based processor module. The T2080 processor offers eight virtual (four dual-threaded) e6500 cores, running at up to 1.8 GHz, and integrates a 128-bit AltiVec technology-based SIMD engine per core. The integrated AltiVec SIMD engines enable the XPedite5970 to support DSP-level Floating-Point performance and an extensive inventory of software libraries.The XPedite5970 also supports up to 8 GB of DDR3-1600 SDRAM and provides a plethora of I/O options to the backplane, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Gen3 PCIe, and Gen2 SRIO. The XPedite5970 provides superior growth and expansion capabilities by including an XMC or PMC site with full 10 mm I/O envelope support while maintaining a 0.8 in. VPX slot pitch, providing the system integrator with a wide variety of COTS options for additional I/O, storage, or processing while minimizing total system SWaP-C.Wind River VxWorks, Linux, and Green Hills INTEGRITY Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available.
