DSP blade is intended for radar and image processing
Based on an Xilinx UltraScale+ XCZU19EG MPSoC FPGA with dual FMC+ sites, the VPX580 is the latest 6U VPX board from VadaTech.
The integrated system and embedded board specialist says that the VPX580 rugged DSP blade combines real-time processing and high speed I/O for radar, signal intelligence and image processing applications.
The XCZU19EG FPGA has 1,968 DSP Slices and 1,143K logic cells and includes a quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor, dual-core Arm Cortex-R5 and Arm Mali-400 MP2 GPU. The Cortex-A53 Dual GbE is accessible directly from 1000-BaseBX connection to P1. The FPGA interfaces directly to the VPX P1-P2 connectors via LVDS, general purpose input/output (GPIO) and high-speed SerDes and to FMC+ DP0-15 and all FMC LA/HA/HB pairs.
Each FMC+ site has 16 GTP SerDes routed from the FPGA and each site is supported by an Interlaken hardcore processor. The boards provide 8Gbyte of DDR4 via a 64-bit wide memory channel, allowing for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing as well as for queuing data to a host processor. The module also includes 64Gbyte of flash, 128Mbyte of boot flash and a SD card option.
An on-board microcontroller implements Tier 2 system management per VITA 46.11, supporting advanced features such as sensor management and event logging, making the unit suitable for deployment in large and complex systems.
