SBC (Single Board Computer)

 

A single board computer is a complete computer on a single circuit board with built in intelligence and interface/control circuitry. These boards are developed in conjunction with FPGAs, which are mostly used in data processing and Communication applications. They are designed to do one or a few dedicated specific functions often with real-time computing constraints.

 

They have a specific form factor and is intended to be used with standard backplane or standalone configuration. Some standard architectures that are dependent entirely on single-board computers are CompactPCI, PXI, VMEbus, VXI, PICMG architecture, etc.

 

These boards also come with builtin BSPs in Vx works.

 

Vrinda Technologies has a wide range of SBC products based on Freescale Power PCs, ARM9 processors and DSPs supporting multiple backplane architectures. The various Vrinda products related to this field are given below:

 

Controller Card (VTSBC8280)

The controller card design is based on MPC8280 PowerPC Processor and Spartan FPGA. The board provides memory interfaces and various communication interfaces like Fast Ethernet, RS232 and I2C.

 

Surface Data Acquisition Board ( VTSBC8641D)

The Surface data acquisition board supports both gigabit Ethernet and optical interfaces. Hence it can be used for data acquisition or as a standalone SBC.

 

Controller Card (VTSBC8260-VME)

VTSBC8260 is a VME bus based board which has in built VME32X IP and VxWorks   Board Support Package (BSP) to support industrial and communication applications.

 

Controller Card (VTSBC8260)

This is a Real Time MPC8260 Based Controller Card used in an onboard unit used to control the Sighting system, Weapons and other LRUs.

 

DAMA Controller Card (VTDCC)

Demand-Assigned Multiple Access Subsystem (DAMA) Controller card is a custom designed card used to route Voice / data traffic to Satellite Communication (Satcom) and line of sight (LOS) links.
