System Overview

PDSi's Intel-based VME x86 Processor Blade (VM86-N1) is a robust, high-performance general purpose compute platform for use in VME systems. This VME board is the latest addition to PDSi's family of computing solutions built around Intel's Core 2 Duo processor. Featuring the server-grade Intel 5100 chipset, this single-wide blade supports up to 4GB of ECC memory. It offers a convenient, pin-compatible replacement for legacy 7750-based systems while offering upgraded technology, higher performance, more memory and an extended product lifecycle.

The VM86-N1 blade includes dual gigabit Ethernet ports and dual USB 2.0 ports for high-speed front communication links, and the VGA port gives access to high resolution graphics capability. A PMC site provides I/O expansion capability, and there is an optional onboard Flash drive. Legacy application support includes front-mounted PS/2, dual serial ports, as well as a rear floppy interface. Rear I/O interfaces are pin-compatible with existing 7750-based RTMs.

PDSi gives telecom, aerospace, and military OEMs the ability to deploy and upgrade high-reliability VME solutions using this powerful compute blade based on the latest Intel technology. Extended availability from PDSi is assured as key components are supported by embedded roadmaps. PDSi can also provide customization, turnkey integration and support of VME systems, as well as extended warranty and repair services.
