VPX3-1259, Intel Single Board Computer

Overview

The VPX3-1259 3U VPX Intel Single Board Computer (SBC) from Curtiss-Wright is a high-performance SBC featuring the 5th Generation Core i7 (Broadwell) processor, AVX and AVX2 SIMD extensions, and Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 (GT3e) GPU for compute-intensive, SWaP-constrained applications. Pin-compatible with previous generations of Intel SBCs, the VPX3-1259 offers the highest-performance Intel processing in the smallest 3U form factor.

With up to 32 GB of high-speed SATA flash memory, the VPX3-1259 3U OpenVPX Intel SBC is optimal for handling complex applications with demanding sensor processing requirements or high-speed data processing, logging, and storage needs. The VPX3-1259 3U VPX Intel Single Board Computer also features high-speed PCI Express (PCIe) Gen3 connectivity.

The VPX backplane supports eight lanes of configurable PCIe fabric, providing NTB ports and supporting 8-lane, 4-lane, and 2-lane port widths. A local XMC mezzanine site supports an independent 8-lane PCIe Gen3 bus directly to the processor. These characteristics position the VPX3-1259 I3U VPX Intel Single Board Computer as a prime cornerstone in the construction of systems that require processor expansion or the interconnection of multiple processor boards. This makes it exceptionally well-suited for crafting a high-performance embedded system tailored for ISR processing needs.

The VPX3-1259 is supported with an extensive suite of industry-standard Operating Systems such as Linux (Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)), VxWorks, and Microsoft Windows Embedded.
