XCalibur4440

The XCalibur4440 is a high-performance, 6U VPX, multiprocessing, single board computer that is ideal for ruggedized systems requiring high bandwidth processing and low power consumption. With the ability to use 2nd or 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7 processors, the XCalibur4440 delivers enhanced performance and efficiency for today's network information processing and embedded computing applications.

The XCalibur4440 provides 16 GB of DDR3-1600 ECC SDRAM in two channels, two PrPMC/XMC slots, 32 MB of NOR flash, and up to 256 GB of SATA NAND flash. The XCalibur4440 also supports five Gigabit Ethernet ports, two graphics ports, audio, I²C, PMC I/O, XMC I/O, and RS-232/422/485 serial ports out the front panel and/or backplane.

The XCalibur4440 is a powerful, feature-rich solution for the next generation of compute-intensive embedded applications. Wind River VxWorks and Linux Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available, as well as Microsoft Windows drivers.
