Features:
- (2) Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGAs
- (1) QorIQ Processor P2020
- Spartan-6 LX-45T
The Interface Concept IC-FEP-VPX6a Virtex-6 and QorIQ 6U VPX Processing Board is controlled by a P2020 processor
integrating an e500 v2 Power Architecture core, a DPFPU,
an integrated Sec security engine and peripherals,
as well as being fully software compatible with the existing
PowerPC processors.
The QorIQ provides the usual external interfaces (3*Ethernet,
2*Serial and 3*USB ports). Moreover, one eUSB slot allows
to plug an optional SSD module.
The PCIe advanced switch allows versatile coupling between
the processor, fabric links of the VPX backplane
and the FPGAs. (Non transparent configuration possible
for VPC fabric link).
Other Fabric Links of the VPX backplane are directly connected
to the FPGAs GTX transveivers. Moreover, the two
FPGAs are directly interconnected via GTX ports - allowing
data rate up to 6.5 Gbps, LVDS and single-ended
signals.
Each Virtex-6 FPGAs of the IC-FEP-VPX6a is associated
with two DDR3 memory banks, supporting a 800 MT/s
transfer data rate (per bank), and a bank of SRAM DDRII
running at 600 MT/s.
Each Virtex-6 FPGA is interfaced with its own SPI flash
(user parameters storage) and through a Spartan-6 to
the Mirror flash (local bitstreams storage - up to four
bitstreams). Thanks to its PCIe link, this Spartan-6
FPGA (control node) can also manage the downloading "on
the fly" of the Virtex-6 bitstreams, offering thus a dynamic
reconfiguration of the FPGAs. This control node FPGA is
also connected to the backplane via two GTP links.
The FMC sites of the IC-FEP-VPX6a are fully compliant
with the FPGA Mezzanine Card standard (VITA 57.1), allowing
to install FMC modules provided by IC, third-party or
developed by the customers. Each FMC can be equipped
with an optional IOs connector to route sixteen differential
pairs (100 Ohms) from the FMC module directly to the
VPX backplane.
The IC-FEP-VPX6a Interface Concept Virtex-6 and QorIQ 6U VPX Processing Board may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
