Processor AMC based on Freescale QorIQ P5020

Control Plane Processor AMC module

The Kontron AdvancedMC processor module AM4150 incorporates the high-performance Freescale QorIQ P5020 dual core processor with cores based on the e5500 Power Architecture®. With high-speed frame managers and multiple high-speed connections like Serial Rapid IO (1.3/2.1) and PCI Express, the Kontron AM4150 meets highest processing requirements. To support maximum throughput and low latency, the Kontron AM4150 provides a fast dual-channel memory of up to 8 GB ECC DDR3 RAM.
The AM4150 provides flexible configuration of high-speed fabrics. On AMC ports 4-7, 4xSERDES lines can be configured either as PCI Express (root complex or end point) or Serial Rapid IO (host or agent). AMC ports 8-11may be configured either for Serial Rapid IO or PCI Express or up to 3x GbE. In addition, the Kontron AM4150 supports three Gigabit Ethernet channels. Either 2x GbE on AMC ports 0,1 plus 1x GbE at the front or 2xGbE at the front and port 0 on the backplane.

– Dual-Core P5020/64 bit up to 2.2 GHz
– Up to 8 GB fast dual-channel ECC DDR3
– Up to 5x GbE, 2x PCIe x4 or 2x sRIO x4 (1.3/2.1)
– SATA to Backplane and onboard Flash Module (max. 32 GB)
– Useable in managed (with MCH) and unmanaged (without MCH) systems
– Freescale longevity program: min. 10 years

Processor AMC based on Freescale QorIQ P2020

Universal cost effective processor AMC module

The Kontron AdvancedMC® processor module AM4120 is equipped with the Freescale QorIQ P2020 Dual Core processor with up to 1.2GHz and based on the Power Architecture® e500. Application reliability is ensured with features such as the redundant universal bootloader U-Boot and persistent memory for cycle data storage. Furthermore, a dedicated Module Management Controller (MMC), which supports basic IPMI commands, is used for board management, enabling operators to monitor the status of the AdvancedMC module in the system, simplifying system management and improving availability. The Kontron AdvancedMC processor module AM4120 also offers increased longevity due to Freescale’s processor availability until at least 2018, careful component selection and a MicroSDHC card socket that is not impacted by regular flash discontinuation.

The universal Kontron AM4120 offers cost sensitive AdvancedTCA® and MicroTCA system designs long- term availability, support of various fabrics and an extraordinary performance-per-watt ratio.

Processor AdvancedMC module with Freescale dual-core MPC8641D PowerPC

Processor AMC based on Freescale Power Architecture (PowerPC) CPU

The AM4100 is a scalable and flexible Single Mid- or Full-size Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC). The board is built around the leading-edge Freescale dual-core MPC8641D Power Architecture (PowerPC) CPU.

The module feature up to 2 GB registered Double Data Rate (DDR2) memory with Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) running at up to 533 MHz. Four integrated Gigabit Ethernet controllers ensure a maximum data throughput.
Signal processing applications are well supported by the integrated DSP-like Altivec vector processing unit.

Perfectly suited for high-performance communication systems, the board is an ideal base for enterprise networking, telecom transmission, switching and routing applications. Furthermore, the AM4100 also fits into industrial environments, e.g. in MicroTCA systems, for applications like signal, and image processing.

The careful selection of high temperature resistant components ensure a high product quality. This, together with a high level of scalability, reliability, and stability, make this state-of-the-art product a perfect core technology for long-life embedded applications.
Comprehensive board support packages (BSP) are available for Linux and VxWorks.
