02Core Capabilities

Introduction to XCalibur1903

The XCalibur1903 is a high-performance 6U CompactPCI single board computer supporting an NXP QorIQ T2080 processor.

Design Refresh

It is a design refresh of the XCalibur1900, intended to update obsolete components while maintaining the same functionality and features.

Memory & Expansion

The XCalibur1903 provides up to 8 GB of DDR3 ECC SDRAM, two XMC/PrPMC slots, and 512 MB of NOR flash (with redundancy).

I/O & Connectivity

It supports up to three 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports, PMC I/O, USB 2.0, optional SATA ports capable of 3 Gb/s, and RS-232/422/485 serial ports out backplane connectors.

Front Panel I/O

An optional front panel offers 10GBASE-T Ethernet, USB 2.0, and RS-232 serial. An additional 10GBASE-T Ethernet port to front panel using I/O mezzanine card is also optionally supported.

Software Support

The XCalibur1903 is a powerful, feature-rich solution for the next generation of compute-intensive embedded applications. Wind River VxWorks, Linux, and Green Hills INTEGRITY Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available.
