02Core Capabilities

Introduction to XPedite7478

The XPedite7478 is a high-performance, low-power, 3U VPX-REDI, single board computer based on the 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor.

SWaP-Optimized

With an integrated dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553B interface and two CAN bus channels, the XPedite7478 maximizes native I/O while minimizing SWaP and cost.

Expansion Capabilities

The XPedite7478 integrates further expansion capabilities by including support for an XMC module.

Memory Density

The XPedite7478 also maximizes memory density with up to 8 GB of DDR3 ECC SDRAM across two channels.

High-Throughput Connectivity

With two PCI Express Fat Pipe P1 interconnects and two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the XPedite7478 is ideal for processing-intensive applications requiring high-throughput communication.

Software Support

Wind River VxWorks and Linux Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available, as well as Microsoft Windows drivers.
