Curtiss Wright VPX6-460 CHAMP-AV6 DSP Board

The Curtiss-Wright CHAMP-AV6, also known by its part number VPX6-460, is a 6U OpenVPX digital signal processing (DSP) engine designed for high-performance computing applications in defense and aerospace sectors.

Key Features:

• Processors: Equipped with four Freescale Power Architecture MPC8641 or MPC8641D processors, offering configurations with either four or eight processing cores.
  

• Memory: Supports up to 4 GB of DDR2 SDRAM, providing substantial bandwidth for data-intensive tasks.

• Interconnects:

  • Four Serial RapidIO (SRIO) ports delivering a total of 10 GB/s full-duplex bandwidth, facilitating high-speed data transfer between boards.
    

  • An onboard Gigabit Ethernet switch for integration with command and control networks.
    

• Expansion: Includes a PCI Express (PCIe) XMC site with 20 pairs of 3.125 GB/s I/O to the backplane, enabling the addition of new-generation mezzanine modules for tasks such as sensor data capture in radar and signal intelligence systems
  

• Form Factor: Complies with the VITA 46 (VPX) standard, providing backplane connectors capable of handling signaling speeds up to 6.25 gigabits per second, suitable for high-speed serial interconnects in military and aerospace applications.

• Software Support: Supported by VxWorks Board Support Package (BSP), high-performance inter-processor communication libraries, DSP function libraries, and the Continuum Insights multi-processor development and debug tools.

The CHAMP-AV6 is designed to meet the rigorous demands of embedded computing applications, offering a blend of processing power, memory bandwidth, and high-speed interconnects suitable for complex signal processing tasks.
