ADLINK Ampere Altra Developer Platform (AADP) Key Features:
• Ampere® Altra® SoC (Arm Neoverse N1 based architecture)
• COM-HPC Server Type Size E Module & Carrier Board
• 32/64/80 Arm v8.2 64-bit cores up to 2.6GHz
• 3 x16 slots and 4 x4 slots PCIe Gen4
• IPMI BMC and dedicated Ethernet for remote management
• Arm SystemReady SR compliance, open source EDKI

Backed by a broad Arm® ecosystem with an Ampere® Altra® SoC at its core, using the Arm® Neoverse™ N1 platform, the Ampere Altra Developer Platform provides premium performance from a cloud-to-edge infrastructure, keeps an extremely low thermal envelope, lower TCO, and significantly lower power consumption than x86 designs. It supports the open source EDKII as bootloader with UEFI, so customers can just download a stock AArch64 (arm64) ISO such as Ubuntu and install it through booting a live ISO directly on the target. The same convenience we have become used to by using x86 / amd64 target systems.
It’s powered by the COM-HPC based server type size E module with head-turning performance and scalability necessary to drive a variety of use cases across the cloud-to-edge development communities. Examples include real-time applications that require reliable and predictable processing of the most computationally demanding workloads like medical imaging and robotic surgery, stationary and mobile robotics, autonomous driving, test and measurement to multimedia broadcasting, and more.

2.5″ HDD or SSD

The G503 is a CompactPCI Serial hard disk drive carrier board for use in a system environment with an x86 processor. It is designed to carry two 2.5″ SATA hard disk or solid state drives.

SATA RAID Controller

The HDD or SSD are controlled by an on-board SATA RAID Controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and JBOD and hot plug. The RAID level can be set using a hex switch on the board.

The G503 can be used to supplement the RAID functionality provided by the CPU board in order to implement data storage systems with high reliability and capacity.

Front Panel Status LEDs

The unit’s front panel features six LEDs signalizing board status (Power, Locate, Activity, Hot-Plug/Error and Eject).

For Mission Critical Tasks and Harsh Environments

The board supports a 2 ms HDD power hold-up time for protecting the stored data in case of a power failure, which makes it applicable also for mission-critical tasks.

In addition to industrial applications, its compliance with the EN 50155 standard makes the board also suitable for railways applications.

Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch

The G304 is an unmanaged 3U Ethernet switch implemented as a CompactPCI Serial board. It occupies one peripheral slot, using a 4 HP front panel with 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports on RJ45 or X-coded M12 connectors, and one direct Ethernet connection to the CPU card using PCI Express on P1. A P6 connector can optionally extend the number of Ethernet channels available on the board to six.

Reliable Communication System Component

The G304 supports full-duplex and half-duplex operation with auto-negotiation, high-speed nonblocking store-and-forward switching. Its built-in test mechanisms make the G304 an even more reliable component in the communication system.

In addition, the switch can act as Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), supplying other devices on all ports with up to 30 W (class 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) per port for power according to IEEE 802.3 Section 2 – Type 1 and 2 (formerly known as IEEE 802.3at). The maximum power available for one G304 is limited to 61.6 W, according to CPCI-S.0 specification.

Compliant to Railway Standards

The board is specifically designed for rugged mobile communication systems. It is, for example, compliant with the EN 50155 railway standard, supports a -40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature and rail-ready versions are coated.
