Features:
Priority Signature Support is available for this product. See the Technical Support fact sheet for details.
The VPX3-450 is supported by the Continuum FXtools design kit. The FXtools design kit includes the complete Continuum Firmware and BSP package for the PowerPC with extensions for VPX3-450 specific functionality, as well as highly-optimized IP blocks for such features as the memory and high-speed serial interfaces, control bus, intra-FPGA switching fabric, and so on. These blocks, all designed for optimal performance and qualified across the entire of the VPX3-450, removes much of the risk associated with FPGA development and can significantly improve a project's time-to-deployment with no performance sacrifice. FXtools also includes a SystemVerilog (IEEE 1800) based simulation test bench with full bus functional models and scripting support.
The VXP3-450 is designed to used in either a single-board configuration, or in multi-board configurations with other VPX3-450 boards or the Single Board Computer (SBC) with a high-speed PCI Express serial switching fabric. All platforms utilize Curtiss-Wright's Continuum Software Architecture (CSA) to insure compatibility and user code commonality across platforms.
