SBC3003 LX2160A Single Board Computer

High-Performance DO-254 Certifiable SBC IP

INTRODUCTION 

The SBC3003 LX2160A 3U VPX Single Board Computer (SBC) is ideal for avionics and defense applications looking for the next generation processor after the popular T2080/T2081. The SBC3003 provides a safety certifiable Arm-based multicore processor including an XMC expansion site to maximize the functionality in a single-slot of a 3U VPX system. The SBC complements the GPM3001 graphics module with an eight lane PCIe Gen 3 interface for high-performance graphics and compute.

The LX2160A SBC design comes with all the data needed for support, manufacture, and repair of the module, as well as data to support DO-254/ED-80 hardware certification. The SBC also comes with off-the-shelf certifiable BSPs for most certifiable O/Ss, complete with data to support DO-178C/ED-12C software certification. The available data kits support both FAA and EASA certification authority needs.

PROCESSING

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the Arm-based LX2160A from NXP’s QorIQ™ Layerscape family. The LX2160A offers outstanding computing performance with 16 64-bit Armv8 Cortex® -A72 cores, powerful Ethernet controllers, high-speed communications, with low-speed peripherals such as sensors, and the computing power to process and act upon all received information. The LX2160A includes two high-performance memory controllers providing up to 51 GB/s bandwidth. NXP QorIQ Layerscape processors are ideal for the aerospace and defense market, providing integrated features such as ECC, parity, support for hardware assisted virtualization and partitioning enforcement, along with safety and security blocks that make them suitable for robust applications. In addition, these processors are manufactured in large volume, providing confidence for “in-service experience”.
