Features:
- Quad Freescale Power Architecture™ MPC8640/8641D processors @ 1.0GHz
- Up to 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM with ECC per processor
- Each processor has dual 64-bit memory banks
- VPX-REDI format (1" pitch) with 4 Serial RapidIO ports on P1 connector and option for one PCI Express port
- 256MBytes Flash with write-protection and 128 KBytes NVRAM
- One XMC site supporting PCI Express
- VxWorks 6.x BSP and Driver Suite supporting Workbench 2.x IDE
- Continuum Software Architecture (CSA) firmware providing a comprehensive suite of system debug, exerciser, and update functions, BIT, and non-volatile memory sanitization function
- Designed for military harsh-environment applications, both air- and conduction-cooled
The CHAMP-AV6 utilizes the VPX-REDI format to unleash the tremendous I/O bandwidth of its eight Freescale MPC8640/8641 processor cores. The local and off-board Serial RapidIO interfaces provide up to 10 times the communications bandwidth that was achievable with the VME format. Signal processing applications with streaming data flows will benefit greatly from the dual 64-bit DDR2 memory subsystem associated with each MPC8640/8641.
Software Development for the CHAMP-AV6
The CHAMP-AV6 is supported with the Continuum suite of software development tools including board support packages, communications middleware, DSP libraries and multi-processor instrumentation and analysis tools.
- Supporting VxWorks 6.5/6.7 and future releases, the CHAMP-AV6 BSP provides a complete set of functions to control the AV6 hardware features. Employing the Continuum Software Architecture standard, the BSP has common and portable APIs with all the latest generation Curtiss-Wright products
- The Continuum IPC communications middleware provides applications with hardware abstraction, allowing all task-to-task communications to have a consistent interface, removing dependencies on operating system, local architectures, and interconnect technology.
- The Continuum Vector signal processing library provides a comprehensive set of DSP functions optimized for the Altivec floating point vector processor.
- The Continuum Insights visualization and instrumentation tools improve software development efficiency with system management and multi-processor real-time analysis.
