VPX
As a VME progeny standard, VITA/VSO's VPX (VITA 46) form factor provides much higher bandwidth than VME could ever deliver, among other plusses. But there was one issue with VPX: system-level incompatibilities among multiple vendors. Thus VPX's sister standard, OpenVPX (VITA 65) ... Morewas developed, defining modules, slots, and backplane profiles to ensure system-level interoperability. Meanwhile, the VPX/OpenVPX ecosystem continues to grow with additional burgeoning VITA standards such as VITA 62 (Power Supply Modules for VPX/OpenVPX) and VITA 66 (Optical Interconnect on VPX), with more standards sure to arise.

VITA 67: VPX coaxial interconnect
5 months ago — Jerry Gipper, Editorial Director, OpenSystems MediaOne of the biggest challenges for VPX system designers is the management of I/O [input/output] to and from the modules. VPX leaves a lot of room for handling all types of I/O and the teams working on the standards have brought some excellent solutions to market.

Intel’s Xeon-D 10 Gig connectivity drives demand for VITA 76 connector high-speed signal integrity
10 months ago — Mike Southworth, Curtiss-Wright Defense SolutionsThe recent introduction of Intel’s first Xeon System-on-a-Chip (SoC) device, the Xeon-D (codenamed “Broadwell DE”), dramatically changes the range of options for designers of high-performance small-form-factor (SFF) mission computers. Compared to earlier Core/Atom devices, the Xeon-D provides more cores and threads per central processing unit (CPU) – up to 16 cores/32 threads – and adds a significantly greater number of Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) lanes (32 PCIe lanes for Xeon-D, compared to 16 lanes for Core i7 or six lanes max for Atom). The Xeon-D also natively provides support for a large number of fast USB 3.0, USB 2.0, 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), and serial interfaces. Most notably, a significant leap forward for designers of modern mission computers is Xeon-D’s support for 10 GigE.

Managing the infinite possibilities: How to cope with the many I/O options of VPX
10 months ago — Ken Brown, LCR Embedded SystemsThanks to its flexibility, performance, and suitability for harsh and varied environments, VPX – especially the size, weight, and power-cost (SWaP-C)-friendly 3U VPX – has rapidly established itself as the form factor of choice for aerospace and defense programs. The majority of new opportunities are in the 3U VPX VITA 48.2 (conduction cooled) form factor, housed in an ARINC 404 enclosure, commonly called Air Transport Rack (ATR). ATR enclosures are notorious for restrictive I/O limitations.

Truly rugged and proven reliable: VITA 47 and beyond
10 months ago — Aaron Frank, Curtiss-Wright Defense SolutionsAll vendors of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware intended for use in harsh defense and aerospace environments insist that their products are reliable as well as rugged. But without a consistent baseline for comparison, it’s almost impossible for system integrators to objectively confirm whether one COTS product is more reliable than another. The VITA 47 standard gives system integrators just such a baseline as it is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard.
