Overview
Introduction
The Xembedded XPMC-6710 is a PrPMC (Processor PCI Mezzanine Card) with a high
performance PowerPC
®
7448 processor which is the fastest PPC in its class. The PrPMC
offers advantages over other solutions due to its flexibility to update the CPU at ease while
maintaining the rest of the subsystem I/O. The XPMC-6710 could be used in many
applications due to its modular form factor for applications such as communication,
Defense/Aerospace, Industrial controls, DSP, etc.
The XPMC-6710 elite grade Compute engine gives OEMs blazing Compute density to do
leading edge pervasive computing. The PPC7448 includes 128-bit AltiVec vector execution
unit as found in previous PPC74xx devices, but with the enhanced support for out-of-order
instructions.Figure 1 is an Illustration of the XPMC-6710 functional block diagram.
The XPMC-6710 utilizes the XPIM-710 PMC I/O Module to convert the rear I/O signals to
standard connectors. J1-A and J1-B of the XPIM-710 are the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet
connectors, while J1-C and J1-D are use for the RJ-45 connectors for the two RS-232
interfaces. The XPIM-710 is sold separately, Contact your Sales representative for details.
