SAN DIEGO – Kontron America Inc. in San Diego is introducing the VX305C-40G 3U OpenVPX single-board computer for battlefield server-class computing and digital signal processing (DSP).
The VX305C-40G uses an open-systems architecture that aligns with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard of the Open Group in San Francisco.
The VX305C-40G uses a defined OpenVPX single-board computer profile that marries a 40 Gigabit Ethernet port and user I/O to the 12-core version of the Intel Xeon D processor.
Designed to the soon-to-be-released VITA 65 slot profile SLT3-PAY-1F1F2U1TU1T1U1T-14.2.16 (known as the "I/O Intensive single-board computer profile"), the VX305C-40G is for demanding military sensor platforms and other high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) applications.
It also is suitable for virtual machine or containerized architectures that can take advantage of the capital and operational efficiencies of isolated workloads configured to dynamically share common resources. It comes in a rugged package for size-, weight-, power-, and cost (SWaP-C)-constrained environments.

Other I/O includes USB 2 and 3, HDMI video with DisplayPort available, SATA 3, TIA-232 and TIA-422 serial ports, GPIO, an M.2 site for storage or for integration of customized personality modules, and an XMC site with a wide backplane signal map.
Other features include a Kontron-designed VITA 46.11 compatible intelligent platform management controller (IPMC) to provide system-wide health management, sequenced system power-up, and temperature, power, and performance management.
The embedded computing module offers a power-on built-in test (PBIT) that gives designers a package for board and system diagnosis. An additional layered product includes CMON -- a lightweight user-configurable continuous-system-monitoring tool.
