The XCalibur4646 is a secure, high-performance, 6U OpenVPX™, single board computer based on the Intel® Xeon® D-1500 family processors. The Intel® Xeon® D processor can provide up to 16 Xeon®-class cores for high-bandwidth processing and I/O applications.The integrated SecureCOTS™ technology can protect critical data from being modified or observed and provides an ideal solution where stringent security capabilities are required.The XCalibur4646 includes a customizable Microsemi SmartFusion®2 security SoC with 1 GB of ECC DDR3 to implement the SecureCOTS™ features. It can host many types of custom functions, such as data encryption, and additionally supports the ability to control, intercept, and monitor the Xeon® D subsystem, implement penalties, and interface to the system through I/O directly connected to the VPX backplane. Circuit board enhancements and optional, optimized Two-Level Maintenance (2LM) metalwork provides added protection to the physical hardware.The XCalibur4646 optimizes network performance and power efficiency with two 10GBASE-KR Ethernet interfaces direct from the CPU and two 1000BASE-T Ethernet interfaces to the VPX backplane. It accommodates up to 32 GB of DDR4-2133 ECC SDRAM in two channels and up to 64 GB of SLC SATA NAND flash in addition to other I/O ports, including USB, SATA, and four configurable RS-232/422/485 serial ports through the backplane connectors. The XCalibur4646 supports additional expansion from two XMC sites, each of which includes a x8 PCIe connection to the Intel® Xeon® D processor and mezzanine I/O mapped directly to the VPX backplane.The XCalibur4646 is a powerful, feature-rich solution for the next generation of compute-intensive embedded applications. Wind River VxWorks and X-ES Enterprise Linux (XEL) BSPs are available. The XCalibur4646 uses coreboot, to provide fast boot times and significantly simplify code traceability over legacy BIOS implementations.
