The G40A is only available within a project context and cannot be ordered as a single standard product.It will require adaptation to the final solution. Please contact MEN’s sales team for assistance in your project.
Virtualization-Ready
The G40A is a high-performance 3U CompactPCI Serial multicore CPU platform equipped with the NXP ARM Cortex A72 LS1046A processor.
Featuring ARM core technologies and NXP data processing accelerators and I/O interfaces, G40A secures your application for the future by being full-virtualization ready – memory and I/O sub-systems can be virtualized – and available for 15 years from product introduction.
Wide Range of I/O, Network Connectivity
The G40A provides modern serial interface technologies such as PCI Express generation 3.0 (up to 8 Gbit/s), USB 3.2 Gen 1×1, SATA generation 3 (up to 6 Gbit/s). It is network connection ready by providing front Ethernet interfaces and an Ethernet switch. Nevertheless, compatibility with legacy interfaces is ensured with communications interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, etc.
Board Supervision and Management
The G40A is monitored using an MEN proprietary board management controller (BMC) which controls parameters such as voltages, temperature and provides a user configurable watchdog, making it ready for applications where functional safety is required. It supports low-power mode to enable Wake-on-LAN when the board’s power supply is off.
Extensive Memory
The memory configuration of the G40A includes a fast DDR4 DRAM with ECC soldered to the board to guarantee optimum shock and vibration resistance. A non-volatile SRAM, an eMMC NAND Flash device and a microSD card can also be assembled offering space for user applications or usable as a local boot medium.
Perfect for Harsh Environments
With small 3U dimensions, G40A is perfectly suited for use in harsh environments, making it an ideal solution where space is limited but high processing capabilities are needed, e.g. in data collection applications on board trains. The board can be ordered in a version which enables fanless operation.
The G40A comes with a tailored heat sink. All components are soldered for protection against shock and vibration according to applicable railway standards. The G40A is also coated so that it can be used in humid and dusty environments.
High Performance for Virtualization Applications
The G25A is a high-performance multicore CPU platform based on Intel’s Xeon D-1500 System-on-a-Chip (SoC). Paired with I/O cards, the G25A can be ideally used for transferring data from and to storage media, the Internet via LTE, wireless, copper or optical Ethernet. Its up to 16 processor cores and built in Intel® VT-d and VT-x support make the board ideally suited for virtualization applications.
The G25A offers high data bandwidth on both the front and the rear I/O interfaces. Two 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are available on RJ45 or M12 connectors at the front, for example.
USB 3.2 Gen 1×1, SATA revision 3.x, PCI Express 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on front and rear complement the I/O possibilities of the board.
Ruggedized Memory and Mass Storage
The memory configuration of the G25A includes a state-of-the-art fast DDR4 DRAM with ECC which is soldered to the board to guarantee optimum shock and vibration resistance. A microSD card device offers space for user applications or as a local boot medium.
System Security and Board Management
For system security, a Trusted Platform Module is assembled on the board. A board management controller provides thermal supervision of the processor and a watchdog for the operating system.
Perfect for Embedded and Harsh Environments
The G25A operates in Windows and Linux environments as well as under real-time operating systems that support Intel’s multi-core architecture.
The G25A comes with a tailored heat sink within 4 HP height. All components are soldered for protection against shock and vibration according to applicable DIN, EN or IEC industry standards. The board is also ready for coating so that it can be used in humid and dusty environments. It is available until 2023.
G229 I/O Extension Board
The G229 offers one M.2 slot, three USB 3.2 Gen 1×1 interfaces, one RS232 interface, one RS422/RS485 interface, one VGA via PCI Express Mini card and up to three flexible slots for two additional RS232 or RS422/RS485 interfaces. It is combined with the G25A to form a space-saving solution with a bigger heat sink.
