64-Bit VME PowerPC Master CPU
The VME-CPU/T10 is a VMEbus CPU board with 2 XMC/PMC slots. The Freescale PowerPC QorIQ T1022 with 1.2 GHz features two 64-bit e5500 Power Architecture® processor cores with high-performance data path acceleration architecture (DPAA) and network peripheral interfaces. The local memory bus is 64 bits wide plus 8 bits ECC with an overall capacity of 512 Mbyte. 16 Mbyte SPI Flash for boot loader and 32 Kbit I²C EEPROM for U‑Boot environment offer non-volatile memory spaces. The VME-CPU/T10 is equipped with a second 16 Mbyte backup SPI Flash selectable by jumper that can be used for system recovery, if a system crash occurs during a firmware update.
VMEbus Interfaced by FPGA
The Xilinx FPGA Artix 7 FPGA is connected to the CPU by local bus for low latency data exchange and by PCI Express for high bandwidth data exchange. The VMEbus master interface offers a A16/A24, D16/D8 (EO) and a SGL arbiter. A VMEbus slave interface is not supported.
XMC/PMC Interfaces
The XMC interface comes with 2x 1-lane PCIe bus and is designed according to VITA 42.3. Both PMC interfaces support 32 bit / 66 MHz PCI bus according to PCI Local Bus Specification 3.0.
Gigabit Ethernet
The VME-CPU/T10 is equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces accessible at the front panel, which give an excellent base for EtherCAT® applications. One of the Ethernet interfaces can be routed to VME P2 (100 Mbit/s only).
Console (Serial)
A RS-232 interface with RJ45 connector is accessible at the front panel.
Software Support
The Flash memory carries the standard boot program U-Boot and enables the VME-CPU/T10 to boot various operating systems from on-board Flash, network or USB. BSPs are available for OS-9, QNX, Linux and VxWorks. The esd EtherCAT master is available for VxWorks and other operating systems.
Customization on Request
The VME-CPU/T10 is also available with the power saving single core QorlQ CPU T1014 with 1-lane PCIe (therefore only one XMC interface) on request. The memory can be extended with an additional MRAM, DDR3 RAM and Flash. Instead of the battery a Gold Cap can be equipped.
