GE Intelligent Platforms XCR14 6U CompactPCI/XVR14 6U VME embedded computers

GE Intelligent Platforms has announced two rugged single board computers based on second-generation Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge processors.

The XCR14 6U CompactPCI and XVR14 6U VME platforms join the SBC324 3U VPX and SBC624 6U VPX single board computers.

Both the XCR14 and XVR 14 provide a choice of either dual- or quad-core second-generation Intel Core i7 processors operating at up to 2.5 GHz, offering a range of four performance/watt options, and up to 16 GB of soldered DDR3 SDRAM with ECC.

This, together with inbuilt graphics and AVX (advanced vector extensions), makes them suitable for industry and telecommunications and especially for defence and aerospace

Both computers benefit from the company’s ecosystem of CompactPCI and VME hardware and software.

In addition to a range of onboard I/O features including four gigabit ethernet ports, five USB 2.0 ports, two DVI ports, VGA, audio and two COM ports, they also offer two onboard mezzanine expansion sites (both PCI-X PMC/PCI Express XMC) capable for enhanced system flexibility. SATA ports are also supported.
