The PEV_7913, its second generation of 6U VME64x PCI Express to VME bridge boards based on FireFly™ PCIe x4-
Over-Fiber optical cable system to enable long distance high bandwidth connections up to 100 meters. This solution targets high performance computing, I/O control and test applications in Mil/Aero, Transport and High Energy Physics (HEP) fields.
The PEV_7913 aims to enhance existing VME64 data acquisition, control and test systems by removing the computing node from the crate and preserving most of the valuable I/O modules. This approach, confirmed by its predecessor (PEV_1100) allows to adapt specific real time systems to work with widely available high-end multi-core servers running standard operating systems.
This solution minimizes the obsolescence risks inherent to expensive embedded processors driven by proprietary operating systems.
The PEV_7913 forms part of the new line of IOxOS Technologies VME64x products featuring its proprietary ALTHEA 7910 solution, a PCI Express to VME64x Bridge implemented in a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA to deliver an extremely competitive COTS in terms of cost, performance and power consumption. This field proven solution natively supports all Master/Slave VME64x modes of operation with Slot_1 System Controller function, including VME64x data transport 2eVME and 2eSST modes with maximal burst length capability, while guaranteeing very long term availability of the board as a result of not depending on already obsolete third party VME interfaces.
