A true single board computer for VME

VME single board computers are now truly a single board. The VP B1x/msd, a 6U VME board based on a 4th generation Intel Core i7/i5 processor from Concurrent Technologies is a prime example. The VP B1x/msd include a processor and an Intel HD Graphics 4600, which has 20 execution units and can support three simultaneous display outputs. A front or rear VGA port is provided for backwards compatibility with previous boards. Up to two DVI-D interfaces and a DisplayPort connection are available as options for applications needing high-resolution digital display support. A 2.5-inch drive can be accommodated on-board for hard or solid state disks. Other solid state storage options include a CFast slot and a Flash disk module site to provide a choice for reliable program and data storage. One or two XMC/PMC sites are available for local I/O expansion. Other enhancements include USB3 connectivity for high-speed interfacing and setup operations.
