PMC PowerPC™ Board

The PMC-CPU/440 is a PCI Mezzanine Card that automatically switches to monarch (PrPMC) or non-monarch mode according to the system’s requirements. The PowerPC™ AMCC PPC440EPx with 533 MHz or 667 MHz enables a performance of 1334 DMIPS peak, is equipped with at least 256 Mbyte DDR2 RAM and 256 Mbyte NAND Flash, and offers system time support by RTC (with double layer capacitor) or IRIG-B. For CAN bus synchronization tasks, a high-resolution CAN hardware timestamp is supported.

Connectivity

The PMC-CPU/440 comes with two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that are accessible as 1000BaseT via RJ45 connectors at the front panel. The PMC-CPU/440 provides 2...4 CAN interfaces controlled by an FPGA IP-Module. The CAN signals are available as TTL only via PMC connector. External converters from CAN-TTL to CANISO11898 are available. All CAN interfaces allow data transfer rates of 1 Mbit/s. An RS-232 serial port is available via the PMC-I/O connector, too. One USB 2.0 interface (host or device) is available at the front panel.

Software Support

The flash memory carries the open source firmware ‘U-Boot’ that enables the PMC-CPU/440 to boot various operating systems from network or on-board Flash, directly and fully supporting Linux, VxWorks (5.5 and 6.3), OS/9 and QNX on-board drivers, as well as supporting higher layer protocols like CANopen and DeviceNet.
