AcQ Inducom Introduces OpenVPX(tm) 3U Single Board Computer with Freescale QorIQ T4240

User-Programmable FPGA

The Medusa has a Xilinx Kintex-7, user-programmable FPGA and dozens of customizable OpenVPX™ user I/O pins, allowing you to add support for application specific interfaces or offload specialized tasks to the FPGA. The user-programmable FPGA adds great flexibility to meet your design needs and opportunities for a single-board solution. Due to a fast communication interface (PCIe 4x) between the T4240 and the FPGA, the FPGA can be used for pre-processing, video/image processing or adding extra functionality.

Software Support

Support for VxWorks®, Integrity®, PikeOS™ and Linux is planned for the Medusa, as well as an OS-less BSP. Other Operating Systems are available on request. Each supported software environment comes with extensive documentation, example software, compiler and IDE. Furthermore, a development kit will be available for the on-board user-programmable FPGA with code examples and documentation to kick-start your firmware development.

Small Form Factor System

A conduction cooled ruggedized REDI (VITA 48) variant of the Medusa is available as part of the upcoming AcQ Inducom OpenVPX™-based small form factor system (VITA 75), a highly modular and extendable platform for a range of embedded applications. This system brings together an optimized combination of performance and SWaP. AcQ Inducom offers a wide range of boards for this system using the OpenVPX™ (VITA 65) architecture. These boards include I/O, networking and audio functionality. A PMC/XMC carrier (VPX3001) is also available. Contact us for more details on this system and how it can meet your application’s needs.

Please meet us at Embedded World Nürnberg (D), 25-27 February, at the Freescale booth (Hall 4 – 304) where we will show our new Medusa SBC.
