The XPand1010 system is a low-cost debug, development, and display platform for conduction-cooled 6U VPX cards. It supports up to two 6U VPX cards, each with direct I/O access via connectors on the backplane. The XPand1010 backplane provides a high-speed backplane fabric - J1 ports A, B, C, and D are cross-connected between the two VPX slots. Ethernet, RS-232/422 serial, USB, SATA, and DVI signals are routed from each VPX slot to corresponding connectors on the front and rear panels.
