The XCalibur4646 is a secure, high-performance, 6U OpenVPX™, single board computer based on the Intel® Xeon® D-1500 family processors. The Intel® Xeon® D processor can provide up to 16 Xeon®-class cores for high-bandwidth processing and I/O applications. 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 XCalibur4646 includes a customizable Microchip 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 Xeon® D subsystem, implement penalties, and interface to the system through I/O directly connected to the VPX backplane. Circuit board enhancements and optional, optimized Two-Level Maintenance (2LM) metalwork provides added protection to the physical hardware.
The XCalibur4646 optimizes network performance and power efficiency with two 10GBASE-KR Ethernet interfaces direct from the CPU and two 1000BASE-T Ethernet interfaces to the VPX backplane. It accommodates up to 32 GB of DDR4 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 XCalibur4646 supports additional expansion from two XMC sites, each of which includes a x8 PCIe connection to the Intel® Xeon® D processor and mezzanine I/O mapped directly to the VPX backplane.
The XCalibur4646 is a powerful, feature-rich solution for the next generation of compute-intensive embedded applications. Wind River VxWorks, X-ES Enterprise Linux (XEL), and Linux Yocto Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available. The XCalibur4646 uses coreboot, to provide fast boot times and significantly simplify code traceability over legacy BIOS implementations.
