02Core Capabilities

Introduction to XCalibur5340

The XCalibur5340 is a secure, high-performance 6U VPX single board computer based on the Intel® Core™ Ultra (Series 3) processor (formerly Panther Lake).

Ruggedized, Standards-Based Design

The XCalibur5340 is aligned to the Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA) Payload (XMC) profile (SLT6-PAY-4F1Q1H4U1T1S1S1TU2U2T1H-10.6.3-0).

Ideal for ruggedized systems requiring high-bandwidth processing and low power consumption, the XCalibur5340 delivers superior performance and efficiency for today’s network information processing and high performance embedded computing applications.

Security & Data Protection

The XCalibur5340 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.

Memory & Storage

The XCalibur5340 supports up to 64 GB of LPDDR5 SDRAM with in-band ECC in eight channels and up to 1 TB of onboard NVMe storage, with optional AES-128/256 TCG Opal 2.0 Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) support.

I/O & Connectivity

The XCalibur5340 also provides fast and efficient I/O, including 100GBASE-KR4, 25GBASE-KR, and 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet, USB 2.0, PCI Express, and RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial ports through the backplane connectors. An integrated M.2 site supports a PCI Express connection to the Intel® Core™ Ultra processor.

Software Support

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