02Core Capabilities

Introduction to XCalibur4730

The XCalibur4730 is a secure, high-performance, 6U VME, single board computer based on the Intel® Xeon® D-1700 series (formerly Ice Lake-D) of processors. The XCalibur4730 is an optimal choice for computationally heavy applications requiring maximum data protection.

Security & Data Protection

The XCalibur4730 integrates SecureCOTS™ technology with a Microchip PolarFire™ System-on-Chip (SoC) FPGA for hosting custom functions to protect data from being modified or observed and provides an ideal solution when stringent security capabilities are required.

Memory & I/O

In addition to providing three 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports, the XCalibur4730 accommodates up to 48 GB of DDR4 ECC SDRAM in three channels and up to 32 GB of onboard SLC NAND flash.

Expansion Capabilities

The XCalibur4730 provides additional expansion capabilities by including two integrated XMC/PMC sites. These sites each include a x8 PCI Express connection to the Intel® Xeon® D processor.

Each mezzanine site offers a single PMC connector, providing an I/O connection to the VME backplane connectors in addition to the USB and RS-232/422/485 ports.

Front Panel I/O

An optional front panel is available on some configurations, with two 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports, one USB 2.0 port, and an additional USB 2.0 port for USB-to-UART provided.

Software Support

Wind River VxWorks, X-ES Enterprise Linux (XEL), and Linux Yocto Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available.
