The VPX-D16A4-PCIE is a rugged high performance DSP/FPGA card in the compact VITA 65, 3U OpenVPX form factor. It is ideal for applications such as EW, SW radio, imaging or radar in harsh field deployment environments.
The card features 4x ARM A15 cores, 16x C66x+ DSP cores and various accelerators across two TI Keystone SoCs, each with its own large DDR3 memory bank and a 10Gbaud 2x PCIe link to the VPX backplane. They are closely coupled with the HyperLink bus. The main DSP has SRIO and CPRI links to a Xilinx Kintex-7 K325T FPGA, which has its own backplane MGT, LDVS, GPIO, serial ports and a flexible PLL, enabling I/O such as RF or ADC/DAC interfaces. All devices also have Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
A full Linux BSP and example software support is provided to accelerate customer development, based on TI’s Linux and Multicore Software Development Kit and the Xilinx Vivado FPGA development suite. In addition, field proven LTE software from MIMOon is available integrated with the card.
