The XCalibur4545 is a secure, high-performance, 6U VPX-REDI, single board computer with a 5th generation Intel® Core™ i7 (Broadwell-H) processor. The XCalibur4545 is ideal for ruggedized systems requiring high-bandwidth processing and I/O. The integrated SecureCOTS™ technology can protect critical data from being modified or observed and provides an ideal solution where stringent security capabilities are required.

The XCalibur4545 includes a customizable Microsemi SmartFusion®2 security SoC with 1 GB of ECC DDR3 to implement the SecureCOTS™ features. It can host many types of custom functions, such as data encryption, and additionally supports the ability to control, intercept, and monitor the Core™ i7 subsystem, implement penalties, and interface to the system through I/O directly connected to the VPX backplane. Optional Two-Level Maintenance (2LM) metalwork provides added protection to the physical hardware.

The XCalibur4545 maximizes network performance with up to four 40 Gigabit or eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and sixteen lanes of PCI Express Gen3-capable interfaces to deliver high bandwidth I/O for today’s demanding computing applications. It accommodates up to 16 GB of DDR3L-1600 ECC SDRAM in two channels and up to 64 GB of SLC SATA NAND flash in addition to other I/O ports, including USB, SATA, and four configurable RS-232/422/485 serial ports through the backplane connectors.

The XCalibur4545 supports additional expansion from two XMC sites, each of which includes a x8 PCIe connection to the Intel® Core™ i7 processor and mezzanine I/O mapped directly to the VPX backplane. The XCalibur4545 can also leverage Intel® Iris™ Pro graphics for graphics-intensive tasks and serves as a general-purpose GPU for demanding data processing applications.

The XCalibur4545 is a powerful, feature-rich solution for the next generation of compute-intensive embedded applications. Wind River VxWorks and X-ES Enterprise Linux (XEL) Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available, as well as Microsoft Windows drivers.
