NASHUA, N.H. – Military & Aerospace Electronics and Intelligent Aerospace have recognized Interface Concept in Quimper, France, as a platinum-level winner in the publications' 2020 Innovators Awards for the company's IC-ARM-VPX3a 3U VPX single-board computer.
The embedded computing board has the NXP Arm Cortex-A72-based LX2160A Multicore Communications Processor for high-performance aerospace and defense applications.
The LX2160A is the highest-performing member of the NXP Layerscape processor family, and combines the low power of Fin field effect transistor (FinFET) process technology.
The 2020 Military & Aerospace Electronics and Intelligent Aerospace Innovators Awards are to recognize products as solutions to difficult aerospace and defense systems design challenges. The awards are in three tiers: platinum, gold, and silver. The awards were announced on 7 Sept. 2020.
The embedded computing board has 16 Arm Cortex-A72 cores that run as fast as 2.2 GHz with data path acceleration for L2/3 packet processing, security offload, traffic management and supports up to 100 gigabits per second Ethernet.
This design meets requirements for 25-gigabit-per-second Ethernet interfaces on a 3U VPX system backplane specified by the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) working group.
The SOSA-aligned IC-ARM-VPX3a features 32 gigabytes of DDR4 memory, local storage options (eMMC and M.2 slot), PCI Express Gen 3.0, SATA3, USB, UART, and several 10/40 Gigabit and 25/100 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces available on the backplane.
This board complies with VITA 65.0 standard. It comes with a boot loader and with a Linux or VxWorks BSP. It is available in air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions.
This new board meets the need for 25-gigabit-per-second Ethernet interfaces on a 3U VPX system backplane currently specified by the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) working group. It supports 100-gigabit-per-second Ethernet routed on the backplane.
The NXP Layerscape LX2160A processor combines the low power of Fin Field Effect Transistor (FinFET) process technology, 16 Arm Cortex-A72 cores as fast as 2.2 GHz with data path acceleration for L2/3 packet processing, security offload, and traffic management.
