The XCalibur4840 is a secure, high-performance single board computer based on the Intel® Xeon® D-2700 series (formerly Ice Lake-D) of processors, making it an optimal choice for computationally heavy applications requiring maximum data protection. This 6U VPX-REDI module integrates SecureCOTS™ technology with a Microsemi® 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.
The XCalibur4840 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. The XCalibur4840 accommodates up to 64 GB of DDR4 ECC SDRAM in four channels and up to 32 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. The XCalibur4840 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 single PMC connector, which provides a build option for P64s or X38s to the VPX backplane connectors.
The XCalibur4840 offers a SOSA-aligned pinout compatible with backplane slot profile SLT6-PAY-4F1Q2U2T-10.2.1. The AMPS profile is MODA6-12.2.1-1-F2C-(2E18/E8)(4P4F)(2E2-2E3), but limitations apply; contact factory for details.
Wind River VxWorks and X-ES Enterprise Linux (XEL) Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available.
