Description
The VPX015 is an evaluation board for VadaTech third generation Module Management Controller (MMC). It meets all of the requirements of the VITA 46.11 System Management specification as laid out in the industry standards from VITA keeping with the long history of VadaTech’s Gen1/Gen2 MMC controllers. The MMC software is capable of doing SOL (Serial Over Lan).
The MMC can manage a Rear Transition Module (RTM) based on VITA 46 specification as well as up to two XMC (Switch Mezzanine Card) VITA 42 and /or two FMC/FMC+ (FPGA Mezzanine Card) VITA 57. The MMC has an I2C bus for the local sensors (i.e. temperature, voltage, current, etc.) as well as an IPMI bus to the payload.
The VPX015 is suitable for prototyping and evaluation of VadaTech MMC with VadaTech or third-party VPX compliant products. The VPX015 can simulate the payload, the RTM and the VPX sensors.
The MMC has RS-232 as well as Ethernet port for communication.
The MMC has 4MB of Flash with 2.5MB of integrated SRAM. The MMC operating temperature is from -40⁰C to 85⁰C (option to 125⁰C) with storage temperature from -65⁰C to +150⁰C. The MMC package comes in13x13mm BGA.
Tool
VadaTech’s VPX015 is available with binary tools easily installable on third party Linux or Windows for creating the FRU/SDR/Detailed HW description flash images and upgrading the board with them without need to compile software.
