Abaco XVB603 6U-VME-SBC processor core chip

Description

Abaco Systems’ XVB603 6U VME Single Board Computer (SBC) features the Intel® Xeon® quad core processor (up to 8 MByte Last Level Cache) with error checking and correction (ECC) support, integrated graphics and PCI Express (PCIe) channels. The XVB603 is also equipped with Intel’s CM238 Chipset, supporting PCIe Gen 3, allowing higher data transfer rates and more PCIe channels. The CM238 chipset also provides SATA, USB 3.0, graphic ports, SMBus, LPC and SPI design on the XVB603.

XVB603 6U-VME-SBC Software Support

The XVB603 provides Intel Xeon processor with four cores with a shared memory and I/O resource pool. Customer system applications call for software platforms that support Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) operation as well as near real time support of independent applicationthreads. Generally, these different software needs require the support of multiple operating systems and require software driver and Board Support Packages (BSPs) to support the low-level hardware functions.
