Introduction
The Abaco Systems SBC329 is a member of the VPXcel3 family of 3U VPX Intel
processor-based Single Board Computers. This family is aimed at processing,
communications and display applications in the military and aerospace market.
The PC-like SBC329 implements the Intel Kaby Lake Mobile (+ECC) architecture at
up to 3.0 GHz, and has I/O interfaces including Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, SATA and
GPIO. The Xeon E3-1505M v6 processor also provides a DDR4 SDRAM interface
with ECC. For more exacting SWaP requirements, the SBC329 is also available with
the E3-1505L v6 lower-power processor.
The Intel CM238 PCH provides three SATA interfaces, three USB ports, an LPC
interface and a Serial Peripheral Interface (supporting SPI boot Flash). The XMC site
connects 24S+X8d+X12d I/O signals to the VPX backplane, and has a x8 PCIe
interface supporting Gen2 operation.
The SBC329 supports eight PCIe lanes with various configurations to the backplane
for connection to other cards in the system.
The SBC329 is supplied with a BIOS, supporting operating systems such as Microsoft
Windows 10, Windows 10 IoT, Linux and VxWorks.
