| MPC8641D Based Advanced Mezzanine Card |
|
|
|
|
Based on the Freescale MPC8641D Dual Core PowerPC processor, the AMC board runs at 1.5 GHz with 1 GB of on-board DDR2 memory, while addressing power and heat constraints for an AMC form-factor. The highly integrated MPC8641D processor architecture improves system performance, simplifies board design, reduces bridging/control devices, and reduces system implementation cost. Delivering performance at 1.5 GHz
each core (2.3MIPS/MHz), the reference board facilitates Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEM) to add
processing power to AdvancedTCA (ATCA), MicroTCA or proprietary systems equipped with AMC expansion bays. |

With two Gigabit Ethernet ports in the front panel and two Gigabit Ethernet ports with x8 PCI Express on the
AMC edge connector, the card provides a modular development environment for embedded applications using PCI Express, Gigabit Ethernet and Serial RapidIO.Additionally connectivity options are available on separate versions of the board providing either x8 PCIe or x4 sRIO.
The board's Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), which is routed to the AMC connector, enables it to be monitored and controlled through the ATCA carrier card by remote shelf management controllers. Also, the
XOR acceleration in hardware supports software based RAID systems allowing for integration of networks to
storage systems.
The two PowerPC cores of this design can operate in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) mode for maximum performance, or two separate operating systems can be used for separate control plane tasks, such as off-loading
security, classification and quality-of-service (QoS) tasks from the data plane. In addition, MPC8641D can be used to implement both the control and data plane and can be organized in a variety of ways, including splitting
functionality directionally (one core per direction) or splitting functionality vertically (one core for handling data plane, one for control plane). |
