Designed to support high speed I/O, these PMC sites can be populated with SCSI320, FibreChannel or Myrinet PMC modules.
For processor intensive applications, PrPMC's can be added.
XCalibur also autosenses its slot location and can run in system or nonsystem mode, reducing spares requirements for end users.
Using technology from the high-volume laptop PC market, XCalibur1000 provides dual SO-DIMM SDRAM sockets, supporting 128Mbyte to 2Gbyte of DDR memory running at 266MHz.
High-volume customers can supply their own memory to lower the total cost of ownership.
XCalibur1000 with a single 750FX processor, 256Mbyte DDR SDRAM and BCM5821 is priced at $5996 at 100-unit quantity.
Prices will vary based on processor clock speed, memory requirements, and other population options.
XCalibur is available now.
Software support includes WindRiver's VxWorks with plans for MontaVista Linux LSP and GreenHills Integrity BSPs available next quarter.
