X-ES XPedite6401 XMC/PrPMC mezzanine module

Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) announces its first NXP QorIQ ARM-based board, the XPedite6401 XMC/PrPMC mezzanine module. Supporting up to 16 GB of DDR4-2100 ECC SDRAM from its NXP LS1088A ARM processor with eight 64-bit ARM A53 cores, the product is a good choice for a wide variety of applications that demand low power consumption coupled with high-performance processing such as networking, telecom, wireless infrastructure, industrial control, defence and aerospace applications.

The device is designed with a focus on long life cycle support and future compatibility with the recently announced NXP LS1088A octal-core A53 and LS1046A quad-core A72 processors. It will provide a scalable processing solution to meet a range of project needs and thermal requirements.

The product’s pinout is compatible with previous X-ES products, giving users the ability to upgrade XMC/PrPMC modules with a current ARM processor. It can be built with both P16 and P14, providing up to four 1000BASE-T ethernet ports.

For those requiring additional ethernet ports or faster connections, the unit can be built optionally with a QSGMII and XFI connection to P16, providing four Gigabit Ethernet ports and one 10 Gigabit Ethernet port. The LS1088 processor configuration can be built with two QSGMII and two XFI connections to P16.
