Overview - Xycom Xembedded XPMC-6710 Reference Manual

Overview

Introduction
The Xembedded XPMC-6710 is a PrPMC (Processor PCI Mezzanine Card) with a high
performance PowerPC
offers advantages over other solutions due to its flexibility to update the CPU at ease while
maintaining the rest of the subsystem I/O. The XPMC-6710 could be used in many
applications due to its modular form factor for applications such as communication,
Defense/Aerospace, Industrial controls, DSP, etc.
The XPMC-6710 elite grade Compute engine gives OEMs blazing Compute density to do
leading edge pervasive computing. The PPC7448 includes 128-bit AltiVec vector execution
unit as found in previous PPC74xx devices, but with the enhanced support for out-of-order
instructions.Figure 1 is an Illustration of the XPMC-6710 functional block diagram.
The XPMC-6710 utilizes the XPIM-710 PMC I/O Module to convert the rear I/O signals to
standard connectors. J1-A and J1-B of the XPIM-710 are the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet
connectors, while J1-C and J1-D are use for the RJ-45 connectors for the two RS-232
interfaces. The XPIM-710 is sold separately, Contact your Sales representative for details.
