OpenVPX CPU Blade with 4th/ 5th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor

The MIC-6314 is Advantech’s next generation single processor 6U VPX blade, based on the 4th/ 5th Generation Intel® Core™ embedded platform with increased cache size and efficiency, as well as instruction set improvements. The MIC-6314 provides two configurable PCIE x 8 ports in the VPX data plane and two PCI Express ports x8 lanes in the VPX expansion plane to enable the highest performance available in the 6U VPX form factor compute intense applications. These PCIE interfaces offer high speed up to PCIE gen. 2 (5Gb/s) throughput, low latency, scalable, error recoverable deterministic interconnectivity to the mainstream peripherals and I/O cards such as DSP and FPGA cards. The PCIE widths and ports on the data plane and the extension plane of MIC-6314 is user configurable, which make MIC-6314 capable to replace the PCIE switch blade in a small system. _x000D_ With a SO-DIMM socket and additional soldered, onboard DRAM with ECC in a dual channel design running up to 1600MT/s, the MIC-6314 can be integrated into various harsh environments while maintaining maximum memory throughput, and supports memory expansion by using the latest SO-DIMM technology simultaneously. _x000D_ Tailored for harsh environments, the MIC-6314 has a native ruggedized convection cooled heat sink adaptable to various chassis environments; with the alternated optional air cooled heat sink, additional I/O is provided on the front panel. An onboard soldered, industrial SSD is included for maximum reliability, and a SSD socket is also available for a cost-efficient, modular storage. By using Intel®’s powerful PCH (Lynx Point) with its advanced SATA controller, the MIC-6314 offers high storage capacity at up to 6Gbps transfer speed. An onboard XMC site with PCIe x8 gen.3 connectivity can host high speed offload or I/O mezzanines. Two USB 3.0 ports on the front panel can connect to external devices with up to 5Gbps data rate. Network and remote connectivity can be achieved via a RS-232 console (RJ-45) and two GbE RJ-45 ports, powered by Intel®’s latest Gigabit Ethernet controller. _x000D_ The Intel® next generation graphics engine Iris Pro offers up to 2x the graphic performance compared to previous generation solutions. Triple independent display support can be implemented by using VGA and 2 DVI ports on MIC6314. Audio is powered by a ALC892 controller via the backplane interface, and provides media support. A PCIEinterface is reserved for the optional M.2 high speed storage.Besides the modern M.2 storage, three SATA III one SATA II and four USB ports (2x USB 3.0, 2x USB 3.0) are also connected to the backplane to fulfill the demand for extra IO ports or storage. Four GbE ports (two SERDES selectable) support system level IP connectivity, and four UART interfaces (RS232/422/485selectable) can be leveraged to interface to legacy devices and consoles.
