Featuring Intel® Core™ i7 processor variants up to 2.0 GHz and the mobile Intel® QM57 Express chipset, Emerson Network Power’s new iVME7210 is designed for a range of industrial, medical and military/aerospace applications including robotics, image processing, radar/sonar, C4ISR and signal intelligence. On-board memory includes up to 8GB DDR3 memory and 256KB non-volatile Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FeRAM). FeRAM does not require batteries or periodic refreshes and offers many more read/write cycles and faster performance than flash memory, which benefits critical non-volatile data storage, data logs and dynamic program updates. Connectivity includes DVI-I, four Gigabit Ethernet ports, up to three USB 2.0 ports, five serial ports, single or dual PMC/XMC sites and on-board SATA drive.
The board’s Digital Visual Interface (DVI) provides support for high quality digital graphics and the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) enhances data security and encryption capabilities. The iVME7210 supports a range of operating system and software options including Wind River VxWorks, Fedora 11/Red Hat 6 Linux and LynuxWorks LynxOS. Extended temperature and rugged versions will be available via Emerson alliance partners.
Overall, with the high performance dual-core processor for scalability and leading edge I/O and memory for flexibility, the iVME7210 board is a superior choice for advanced defense and aerospace systems, signal testing and simulation, medical imaging, and transportation control.
