Description
The VPX705 is a Layerscape Processor in 3U form factor based on the NXP LX2160A (16-core) processor. The Module provides on P1 connector on ports 0-7 x8 PCIe Gen3 or dual x4 PCIe Gen3 on ports 0-7. Further on the P1 connector the module has eight reconfigurable SERDES that are routed to ports 8-15. Below are some examples of the SERDES configuration:
- Dual PCIe x4 Gen3
- x4 GbE with PCIe x4 Gen3
- x4 10GBASE-KR with PCIe x4 Gen3
- x8 GbE
- PCIe Gen3 x4 with x4 10GBASE-KR
- x4 10GBASE-KR with x4 GbE
- x8 10GBASE-KR
- PCIe x4 Gen3 with PCIe x2 Gen3 with 2x GbE
- Dual 40GBASE-KR4
The module includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory with ECC, SDHC Socket, 64 MB SPI flash, 512 KB I2C flash, 8 GB of eMMC and 1TB NVMe storage.
The VPX705 can host an XMC module which interfaces to the host processor thru PCIe x4 Gen3. The XMC I/Os are routed to the backplane per VITA 46.9 as P2W4-X12s+X8d+X12d. The module also routes RS-232 from management, dual RS-232 and dual RS-422 from host, a USB 3.0/2.0 and a dual GPIO I/O’s (+5V) to P2. The RS485/RS422 termination and slew rates are software configurable.
The VPX705 routes the two VPX backplane clocks to the GPIO of the Processor.
The CPU has Secure Boot capabilities form power-on and hard reset.
This unit is also available for rugged conduction-cooled applications, see ordering options.
