The IXI Technology configurable IXI-1 multipurpose general-purpose processor (GPP) is an SBC that integrates the high-performance and low-power Intel Atom Quad-Core CPU. An additional FPGA for flexible configuration of multistandard I/O interfaces provides support for the CPU. The accelerator unit for high performance graphic processing unit (GPU) or digital signal processing (DSP) functions is also available as an option. To minimize power consumption, the designers of the GPP devised a way to ensure that only circuitry selectively in use is powered up and that power-intensive devices can be selectively run at the minimum required frequency. Normal operating power consumption is reported at less than 25 watts while utilizing all available interfaces.
Interfaces include VPX, 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553B, controller area network (CAN), multiple RS232/RS485/RS422 serial ports, USBs, general-purpose input/output, audio in/out, display output port, NTSC/PAL composite analog video, and the latest high-definition 3G-SDI display input port. The IXI-1 GPP features a scalable multiprocessor architecture over an Open VPX backplane, enabling additional SBC modules and boards to be added for supplemental processing requirements. Multiple PCIe lanes link the backplane, system-on-chip (SoC), and I/O units that can be configured via an integrated PCIe switch. The IXI-1 GPP is aimed at compact high-performance, embedded processing needs.
