Introducing the XPedite7674 and XPedite7676 Intel® Xeon® D 3U VPX Single Board Computers with Integrated Security FPGAs

Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) is excited to announce the availability of the XPedite7674 and XPedite7676 Intel® Xeon® D-1500 family processor-based 3U VPX embedded single board computers. These powerful boards support up to 16 Xeon®-class cores in a single, power-efficient, System-on-Chip (SoC) package with native extended temperature support on four, eight, and twelve core-count SKUs.

XPedite7674 3U VPX SBC with Xilinx Kintex® UltraScale™ FPGA

The XPedite7674 is an Intel® Xeon® D-1500 processor-based 3U VPX single board computer that can support up to 16 core-count SKUs with native extended temperature support on up to 12 core-count SKUs. An integrated, user-configurable, Xilinx Kintex® UltraScale™ FPGA module delivers enhanced performance and security for a wide range of embedded computing applications. 

Featuring up to 8 GB of DDR4-2133 ECC SDRAM memory, more than 1 million logic cells with enhanced system logic cell packing to reduce dynamic power, and support for a DeepCover Security Manager secure supervisor, the Xilinx Kintex® UltraScale™ FPGA provides a dependable host for custom security functions. The Xilinx Kintex® UltraScale™ FPGA modules provide the best price/performance/watt at 20 nm. They include the highest signal processing bandwidth in a mid-range device and next- generation transceivers, making them an excellent choice for embedded security operations.

The XPedite7674 supports a variety of I/O to the VPX connectors, including dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-KR), SATA port capable of 6 Gb/s, USB 2.0, and RS-232/422/485 serial ports. The FPGA also provides GPIO, 1000BASE-X Gigabit Ethernet, and High-Speed Serial ports to the VPX connectors. The XMC site supports a x8 PCI Express Gen3-capable port and a SATA port, as well as XMC P16 I/O, mapping P1w9-X12d per VITA 46.9. Pairing the XPedite7674 embedded single board computer with the powerful computing performance of a high core-count Intel® Xeon® D processor allows for expanded networking capabilities, accelerated computing, and unparalleled processing with Xeon®-class reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS).

XPedite7676 3U VPX SBC with Microsemi SmartFusion®2 Security System-on-Chip (SoC)

The XPedite7676 is a secure, Intel® Xeon® D-1500 processor-based 3U VPX single board computer that can support up to 16 core-count SKUs with native extended temperature support on up to 12 core-count SKUs.

The XPedite7676 integrates SecureCOTS™ technology with a Microsemi SmartFusion®2 security System-on-Chip (SoC) for hosting custom functions to protect data from being modified or observed and provides an ideal solution when stringent security capabilities are required. The SmartFusion®2 SoC can control, intercept, and monitor the Xeon® D subsystem, implement penalties, and interface to the system through I/O directly connected to the VPX backplane. Circuit board enhancements and optimised Two-Level Maintenance (2LM) metalwork provide additional protection to the physical hardware.

The XPedite7676’s XMC site supports X24s+X8d+X12d I/O, allowing increased flexibility in the range of mezzanine cards that can be used with this board. This XMC I/O takes almost all possible mezzanine I/O from P16 and routes it directly to the XPedite7676’s VPX P1 connector. Additionally, the XMC site supports a x8 PCI Express Gen3-capable port and six SmartFusion®2 GPIO interfaces.
Dual 10GBASE-KR 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, SATA ports capable of 6 Gb/s, RS-232/422/485 serial, dual x4 PCI Express Gen3, and GPIO are all routed to the backplane VPX connectors.
