Ivyland, PA, January 2005- ACT/Technico,
a leading supplier of integrated real-time and embedded systems built with VMEbus, CompactPCI, and other open architecture platforms, announces a new development system based on the VITA 31.1 Ethernet fabric implementation.
The system enables the use of Ethernet fabric switching technology in a VME64x environment by leveraging PICMG 2.16 technology via the J0 (VITA 31.1). It is ideal for implementing Ethernet fabrics in a
VME64x environment without losing access to current investments.
The VITA 31.1 standard defines the pin assignments and connector to implement a standard switched Ethernet fabric on a VME64x backplane and
without the use of cables. The J0 on the VME board has the same pinouts as the J3 on a CompactPCI PICMG 2.16 board. It enables the VME user to utilize existing VME64x technology and software while providing an
effective means of providing Point-to-Point interconnections across the backplane, and more importantly, utilizes existing IP software to enhance time-to-market.
ACT/Technico's VITA 31.1 system provides two system and two node PICMG 2.16 / VITA 31.1 slots,
and 10 VME64x slots. The J0 pins are assigned to the VITA 31.1 pin assignments to take advantage of the switched Ethernet fabric across the entire system. The system will also ship with three redundant 400W power
supplies. The system can be shipped with a PowerPC or Pentium VMEbus single board computer, pre-configured with either a Linux or VxWorks operating system and any necessary drivers. A choice of one or two
10/100/1000 Ethernet Switches, and optional high availability Network Attached Storage blades (RAIDStor) can also be added and configured.
