Emerson Network Power iVPX7225 3U OpenVPX processor board

The iVPX7225 3U OpenVPX processor board is designed to provide high compute performance, flexibility and high-speed fabric connectivity for a range of industrial, communication and military/aerospace applications.

The board is based on the dual-core, third-generation Intel Core i7 2.5 GHz processor, featuring the Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) floating point instructions with integrated graphics and memory controller and the mobile Intel QM77 PCH chipset with leading-edge I/O functionality. It combines the improved floating-point performance of the Intel Core i7 processor with the bandwidth and system-enabling features of the 3U OpenVPX form factor.

The iVPX7225 is designed to operate in a wide range of OpenVPX enclosures, including the company’s VPX3000 system platform. Onboard memory includes up to 16 GB DDR3L-1600 memory, embedded USB flash and 1 MB non-volatile ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM). The board offers both PCI Express high-speed data plane fabric connectivity and gigabit ethernet control plane connectivity with data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. Additional connectivity includes three USB 2.0 ports, two serial ports, three SATA ports, eight GPIO, DisplayPort, VGA and one XMC site for maximum flexibility.

The board’s software support includes UEFI-compliant BIOS with password protection and a wide range of operating systems including Wind River VxWorks 6.9 and Linux 3.x.
