Summary points:

  • Powered by Intel Xeon D-1700 processors with as much as 48 gigabytes DDR4 ECC SDRAM for compute-intensive applications.
  • Features SecureCOTS technology and Microsemi PolarFire SoC FPGA for robust data protection.
  • Includes dual XMC/PMC sites, multiple Ethernet ports, and optional front panel I/O for versatile integration.

VERONA, Wis. – Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) in Verona, Wis., is introducing the XCalibur4730 secure, 6U VME single-board computer for computationally heavy applications that require maximum data protection.

The X-ES XCalibur4730 embedded computing board is based on the Intel Xeon D-1700 series (formerly Ice Lake-D) of processors, and provides three 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports, as much as 48 gigabytes of DDR4 ECC SDRAM in three channels, and as much as 32 gigabytes of onboard SLC NAND flash.

The XCalibur4730 single-board computer integrates SecureCOTS technology with a Microsemi PolarFire System-on-Chip (SoC) FPGA for hosting custom functions to protect data and provides a solution when stringent security capabilities.

Two XMC/PMC sites

The XCalibur4730 also provides two integrated XMC/PMC sites, each with an x8 PCI Express connection to the Intel Xeon D processor. Each mezzanine site offers one PMC connector for an I/O connection to the VME backplane connectors.

An optional front panel is available on some configurations, with two 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports, one USB 2.0 port, and an additional USB 2.0 port for USB-to-UART provided.

Wind River VxWorks and X-ES Enterprise Linux (XEL) Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available. For more information contact Extreme Engineering Solutions online at www.xes-inc.com/products/sbcs/xcalibur4730.
