OpenVPX Single Board Computers (SBCs) & Carrier Cards

Single board computers (SBCs) and carrier cards are two types of components that are commonly used in OpenVPX systems. SBCs are self-contained computer boards that can be used as the main processor in a computing system, while carrier cards are used to interface other types of I/O modules, such as AcroPack, PMC, or XMC modules, to a VPX computer system. These types of products are often used in applications where high-performance computing and high-speed I/O are required, such as in defense and aerospace systems, scientific research, and other demanding environments. They offer a flexible and scalable solution for building custom computing systems that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the application.
