The GR718B development board has been designed to support the development and fast prototyping of systems based on our GR718B Radiation-Tolerant 18x SpaceWire Router.

The GR718B Development Board comprises a custom designed PCB in a 6U Compact PCI format, making the board suitable for stand-alone bench top development, or if required, to be mounted in a 6U CPCI Rack, or in a bench-top enclosure. The principle interfaces and functions are accessible on the front and back edges of the board, and secondary interfaces via headers on the board.

Features
