The AcroExpress® VPX6600 is a high-performance 3U OpenVPXTM embedded single board computer based on the 6th Generation Skylake Intel® Xeon® processor and PCH. Designed for COTS applications this Intel SBC utilizes the Intel C230 series PCH chipset for extensive I/O support. Heat is managed with a fully integrated heatsink for advanced cooling management. The VPX6600 doesn’t consume I/O space and offers specialized I/O on P2.

Intel 6th Generation

Whether you’re looking for a tech refresh to update your legacy systems or starting a new application, Intel processors deliver significant performance advancements such as: enhanced microarchitecture, integrated graphics, and expanded memory performance with up to 32GB of high-bandwidth DDR4 memory and ECC memory controllers. This board is designed and manufactured to meet VITA 46.0 and has at least a 7-year life expectancy. Cutting-edge technology features programmable power limits, allowing the user to “dial-down” the maximum power consumption of the CPU in systems where power is a concern. The VPX6600 also takes advantage of Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 2.0 for enhanced performance on floating point-intensive applications and Hyper-Threading Technology that enables each core to use two software threads for more efficient use of the CPU.

Memory

Supports either one or two DDR4 ECC SODIMMs, for a total of up to 32GB removable memory. The SODIMMs are firmly attached to the module with screws for easy replacement and surrounded by heat sink material to provide a mechanically and thermally robust mechanism. These processors feature a M.2 Flash storage site perfect for solid-state storage application.

Operating System Software

The VPX6600 is supported for use with Microsoft Windows® 7/8, VxWorksTM and Linux.

Extensive Support

With over 60-years’ experience, more than 40 of those years working with defense and military contracts, we are focused on providing embedded computing solutions for the best long term value in the industry. Designed and manufactured in the USA, with a 2-year standard warranty.

Performance Specifications

AcroExpress Processor & Memory

Processor: Intel Xeon processor. (6th generation, codename Skylake).
