Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) Announces XPedite5501, the First Conduction-Cooled PMC/XMC Single-Board Computer Based On Freescale Semiconductor’s Dual-Core QorIQ P2020 Processor

The XPedite5501 is a PrPMC / XMC single-board computer targeting the Freescale QorIQ P2020. Hardware options range from commercial / air-cooled to full military conduction-cooled solutions. With dual PowerPC e500 cores running at up to 1.2 GHz, the P2020 delivers enhanced performance and efficiency for today’s network information processing and other embedded computing applications. Complementing processor performance, the XPedite5501 features up to 4 GB of DDR3-800 CC SDRAM. A configurable SerDes interface (PCI Express or Serial RapidIO) to the XMC connector and a conventional PCI interface to the PMC connectors provide ample bandwidth to the P2020. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB 2.0 port and two RS-232/422/485 ports are routed to P14 or P16 for additional system flexibility. A detachable front panel provides one 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port and one RS-232 serial port for development. The XPedite5501 provides a high-performance, feature-rich solution for current and future generations of embedded applications. Operating system support packages for the XPedite5501 include Wind River VxWorks, QNX Neutrino, Green Hills INTEGRITY, and Linux 2.6…
