Posted by John Keller

OTTAWA, 7 Jan. 2010. Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing in Ottawa is introducing SVME/DMV-186 rugged 6U VME64computer boards with the Freescale QorIQ P4080 microprocessor.

The computer board provides as many as eight Power Architecture processor cores and data-path acceleration logic, as well as network and peripheral bus interfaces with MIPS/Watt performance.

The SVME/DMV-186 single-board computer augments the I/O capabilities of the QorIQ P4080 processor, making the CPU board suitable for rugged military embedded applications such as tactical aircraft, armored vehicles, and rugged naval systems.

The SVME/DMV-186 is pin-out compatible with previous generations of Curtiss-Wright Controls embedded computer offerings, and can speed technology upgrades to the next generation of Power Architecture processors for legacy systems and applications.

For system expansion, the SVME/DMV-186 provides two PMC/XMC sites supporting the acquisition, processing, and distribution of sensor data such as video, radar, and sonar data. The single-board computer has an I/O complement of three Gigabit Ethernet ports, options for multifunction RS-232/422/485 serial ports, MIL-STD-1553, Serial ATA (SATA),and TTL and differential discretes.
