Definition/Description
DTK
A Development Test Kit consisting of Mounting plate-heat sink, CPU/RAM, Carrier, and
an IO board with commercial connectors
Base Unit I/O Board
The board that, through four circular connectors, brings all the Inputs and Outputs to
and from the DuraCOR 310 Base Unit. This boards also provides access to unused
Expansion Pins.
BSP
Board Support Package, an implementation of specific software for a given board.
Built-In Test (BIT)
Mechanism that permits a machine to test itself
CAN
Controller Area Network
COM
Computer on Module, Single board computer
COTS
Commercial Off the Shelf
Dmux
A device that takes a single input signal and distributes signal to one of many data-
output-lines.

DuraCOR 310 Base Unit
The DuraCOR 310 without the addition of any expansion segment (removable 2.5”
SSD)
DuraDBH 672
Rugged Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Gigabit Ethernet switch and vetronics
computer system
Mini PCIe I/O Cards / mPCIe
Mini PCI express form factor card [30 mm × 50.95 mm] that can be added to the
DuraCOR 310 Base Unit to add I/O without increasing the size of the system. The
base unit supports up to three Mini PCIe I/O cards. Available I/O on mini PCIe form
factor include: Gigabit Ethernet, MIL STD 1553, ARINC 429, CAN Bus, Frame
Grabbers, GPS, Wi-Fi, serial ports, analog/digital data acquisition cards, GPIO, etc.
Mini PCIe I/O Socket
J2/J3 Connector on Parvus Carrier board. This socket can be used to hold a Mini PCIe
I/O Card.
mSATA SSD
A small form factor [30 mm × 50.95 mm] solid state drive. Also known as MO300A
form factor. Compatible with Parvus Carrier J4 Connector.
mSATA SSD/Mini PCIe Socket
J4 Connector on Parvus Carrier board. This socket can be used to hold an mSATA
SSD storage card or a Mini PCIe I/O Card.
Mux / Muxing
A device that selects one of several input signals and forwards the input into a single
line
OpenCL
Open Computing Language (OpenCL) is a framework for writing programs that
execute across heterogeneous platforms consisting of CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, FPGAs
and other processors or hardware accelerators
OpenGL
Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) is a cross-language, cross-platform application
programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics
OpenVG
Open VG is an API designed for hardware accelerated 2D vector graphics
SFF
Small Form Factor designed to minimize volume
SMARC
Smart Mobility ARChitecture. This is the module that houses the processor and many
of the auxiliary interfaces.
SoC
