02Core Capabilities

Introduction to XPedite5972

The XPedite5972 is a 3U OpenVPX™ REDI single board computer based on the NXP QorIQ T2080 processor.

It is a design refresh of the XPedite5970, intended to update obsolete components while maintaining the same functionality and features.

Ruggedized Performance

The XPedite5972 provides a rugged, feature-rich processing solution that maximizes the performance-per-watt capabilities of a Power Architecture®-based processor module.

The T2080 processor offers eight virtual (four dual-threaded) e6500 cores, running at up to 1.8 GHz, and integrates a 128-bit AltiVec technology-based SIMD engine per core.

DSP & Floating-Point Performance

The integrated AltiVec SIMD engines enable the XPedite5972 to support DSP-level Floating-Point performance and an extensive inventory of software libraries.

Memory & I/O

The XPedite5972 also supports up to 8 GB of DDR3 ECC SDRAM and provides a plethora of I/O options to the backplane, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express Gen3, and Gen2 SRIO.

Expansion Capabilities

The XPedite5972 provides superior growth and expansion capabilities by including an XMC or PMC site with full 10 mm I/O envelope support while maintaining a 0.8 in. VPX slot pitch, providing the system integrator with a wide variety of COTS options for additional I/O, storage, or processing while minimizing total system SWaP-C.

Software Support

Wind River VxWorks, Linux, Green Hills INTEGRITY, and DDC-I’s DO-178 Certifiable Deos Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available.
