VPX3-1707 Single Board Computer with NXP Arm LX2160

The VPX3-1707 is an OpenVPX™ compliant 3U single board computer (SBC) offering incredible processing capability at remarkably low power.

Overview

Maximize performance in SWaP-constrained environments with the VPX3-1707, a powerful 3U OpenVPX single board computer designed to bring ARM’s unparalleled performance per watt to rugged, embedded systems. With advanced security capabilities and flexible I/O interfaces, the VPX3-1707 is a next-generation innovation for today’s C4ISR applications.

Leveraging an NXP ARM-based LX2080A, LX2120A, or LX2160A processor with 8, 12, or 16 (respectively) 64-bit ARMv8 Cortex-A72 CPU cores running up to 2.2 GHz, the VPX3-1707 delivers industry-leading performance per watt. With leading edge networking features, advanced security capabilities and flexible I/O in a size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C)-optimized module, the VPX3-1707 an ideal fit for applications with stringent power constraints.

Armed with Trusted Computing capabilities such as NXP Secure Boot, ARM TrustZone, and Curtiss-Wright TrustedCOTS, the VPX3-1707 provides enhanced protection against malicious cyber threats and reverse engineering. With its ARM processor delivering exceptional performance per watt, the VPX3-1707 is designed to strike the perfect balance between processing throughput and power consumption.

The VPX3-1707 is supported by Curtiss-Wright’s U-Boot and Linux® Board Support Package (BSP) and Driver Suite.
