02Core Capabilities

Introduction to XCalibur4740

The XCalibur4740 is a secure, high-performance single board computer based on the Intel® Xeon® D-1700 series (formerly Ice Lake-D) of processors, making it an optimal choice for computationally heavy applications requiring maximum data protection.

Security & Data Protection

This 6U VPX-REDI module 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.

High-Speed Ethernet

The XCalibur4740 provides incredible speed with two 100GBASE-KR4, two 1000BASE-X, and two 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports.

The dual 100GBASE-KR4 Ethernet ports offer fallback redundancy to help ensure a consistent processor throughput of up to 100 Gbps is available at all times.

Memory & I/O Connectivity

The XCalibur4740 accommodates up to 48 GB of DDR4 ECC SDRAM in three channels and up to 256 GB of onboard SLC NAND flash in addition to numerous I/O ports, including USB 2.0, PCIe, and RS-232/422/485 serial through the backplane connectors.

Expansion Capabilities

The XCalibur4740 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 and X12d+X8d I/O mapped directly to the VPX backplane connectors.

Additionally, each mezzanine site offers a build option for P64s or X38s to the VPX backplane connectors.

Software Support

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