The SMART Embedded Computing MVME7100 with System-on-Chip MPC864xD processor is the ideal solution for VMEbus customers with applications on previous-generation VMEs, in particular the MPC74xx processor.

The MVME7100 provides a development path for VMEbus customers with applications on previous generation VMEs, in particular the MPC74xx processor. The system-on-chip implementation offers power/heat dissipation, reliability and lifecycle benefits that are typically found in other architectures.

which are typically not found in other architectures.

The SMART EC MVME7100 single board computer (SBC) helps OEMs of industrial, medical and defence/aerospace equipment to increase performance and functionality

to increase competitive advantage while protecting the underlying investment in the VMEbus and related technologies.

Customers can retain their VMEbus infrastructure (chassis, backplanes and other VMEbus and PMC boards) while improving performance and extending lifecycles.

In addition, the extended lifecycle of SMART EC computing products helps to minimise disruption to development and support due to frequent product replacement.

The combination of faster processors and the 2eSST VMEbus interface provides significant performance improvements. New cost-effective peripherals can be easily integrated using the USB interface.

The extended temperature (-40 °C to +71 °C) variant supports a wide range of operating and storage temperatures, in addition to increased shock tolerance.

This enables the board to operate in harsh environments while maintaining structural and operational integrity.

Overview of the MVME7100

VMEbus 2ESST Performance

The 2eSST protocol delivers up to 320MB/s of available VMEbus bandwidth, eight times that of VME64. while maintaining backward compatibility with VME64 and VME32.

The latest Texas Instruments VMEbus transceivers, combined with the Tundra Tsi148 VMEbus bridge supporting legacy protocols, allow customers to integrate the MVME7100 with the Tundra Tsi148 VMEbus bridge.

enables customers to integrate the MVME7100 series into existing infrastructures, providing backward compatibility to protect their investment in existing VMEbus boards, backplanes, chassis and software.

Balanced performance

The MVME7100 series delivers more than just faster VMEbus transfer rates, it provides balanced performance across the processor, memory subsystem, local bus and I/O subsystems.

This, combined with a rich set of I/O interfaces, makes the MVME7100 series ideal for application-specific compute blades or smart I/O blades/carriers.

Running at speeds up to 1.3GHz, the NXP MPC864xD system-on-chip (SoC) processor is ideally suited for I/O and data-intensive applications.

The integrated SoC design creates an I/O-intensive, state-of-the-art package that combines dual low-power processing cores with on-chip L2 cache,

Dual integrated DDR2 memory controllers, PCI Express, DMA, Ethernet and local device I/O.

The on-chip PCI Express interface and dual DDR2 memory buses are well matched to the processor.

To ensure optimal I/O performance, 8x PCI Express ports are connected to a 5-port PCI Express switch.

Three 4x PCI Express ports are connected to a PCI Express to PCI-X bridge, providing separate PCI-X buses for the two PMC-X sites and the VME bus interface.

Interfaces. One 1x PCI Express port connects to a PCI Express-toPCI bridge that connects to a USB chip (commercial temperature only).

The MVME7100 also offers four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, USB 2.0 and five RS-232 serial connections.

All of this forms a well-balanced, high-performance subsystem that delivers unrivalled performance.
