VF370

Intel® Time Coordinated Computing Technology (Intel® TCC Technology) can synchronise networks of devices to within 1 μs, greatly improving the realtime deterministic behaviour of a system.
The new Intel® Trusted Execution Engine (Intel® TXE) offers enhanced data and operations protection, complimented by fast cryptographic execution (through Intel® AES New Instructions) and secure boot features, such as Intel® Boot Guard 2.0.
The combination of the Atom® processor and Cyclone® V FPGA provides a highly flexible architecture suited for applications requiring real-time FPGA pre-processing, followed by postprocessing software running on the Atom. Add a VITA 57 FMC site, and the VF370 yields a modular processing solution that accommodates a wide range of IO requirements through FMC mezzanine cards and by IP cores and/or custom user logic implemented in the FPGA.
The Cyclone® V FPGA with scalable logic and DSP resources, combined with external DDR3 memory, supports algorithms with large memory size and bandwidth requirements.
The high pin count (HPC) FMC connector connects to the FPGA through a highspeed serial interface (HSSI) and LVDS/LVTTL signals. The optional FMC IO connector routes 32 differential signals to the P2 VPX connector for backplane- or rear-IO functionality.
A configurable PCIe interface supports different OpenVPX profiles at Gen 1 and Gen 2 speeds, allowing high data throughput into, and out of the VF370. The VF370 typically functions as a VPX system controller (PCIe Root Complex), but can also be a PCIe end-point module when plugged into a non-system slot. When in end-point mode, the VF370 implements a non-transparent PCIe bridge (NTB) on the backplane DP01 PCIe interface, while still being the Root Complex on DP02.
This enables simultaneous Root Complex and end-point operation for applications requiring multiple SBC processing cards or redundant system controllers.
The onboard SATA SSD (solid-state drive) provides fast booting and reliable high performance storage for demanding applications.
Onboard peripherals include real-time clock (RTC), elapsed time indicator (ETI), EEPROM and flash for user configuration data and event logs.
The VF370 Board Management supports Tier 1 IPMC functionality on the VPX Management Plane as per VITA 46.11. USB Debug interfaces are provided for the Atom CPU and the Cyclone FPGA to simplify development and system integration.
The VF370 targets applications such as Rugged Mission Computers for aerospace, maritime and land systems, Ultra HD video and graphic processing, Industrial control, low-power (SWaP) and many others.
