CPCI-680 Emerson Single board computer real-time operating system

Description

The PowerCore CPCI-680 brings maximum real-time computing performance in a single slot to both system controller and intelligent peripheral roles. The CPCI-680 is built around the PowerPC G4 7400 processor, with its ultra-high speed and extremely low power consumption characteristics. The use of the PowerPC G4 7400, together with up to 1 GByte of high-speed memory and SENTINEL’s on-chip buffers for elevated system performance, enables the CPCI-680 to address the most demanding applications.

The CPCI-680 is also backward compatible with earlier members of the Force PowerPCbased PowerCore family of single board computers. Customers can take advantage of the CPCI-680’s power and performance when running major real-time operating systems or when deploying applications based on the low-cost and flexible Linux™ operating system. Real-time operating systems supported by the CPCI-680 include VxWorks®, pSOS™ and LynxOS™.

In addition to its versatility and high performance, the PowerCore CPCI-680 provides customers with broad expansion capabilities and a wide range of interface options. Up to two PMC slots are available for expansion, and an optional Fast Wide SCSI-2 interface enables high-speed connection to mass storage facilities.

There are also two independent Fast Ethernet interfaces and two serial interfaces (expandable to a total of six serial interfaces) for maximum I/O flexibility. The optional on-board socket for Type II CompactFlash cards allows easy and flexible expansion via removable cards that can be either solid-state flash memory cards or rotating memories. Yet even when fully configured with a complete set of interfaces and its maximum 1 GByte memory, the PowerCore CPCI-680 remains a single-slot solution.
