Development board for the GR740 quad-core 32-bit fault-tolerant LEON4FT SPARC V8 processor. Designed in 6U OpenVPX format.
The GR-VPX-GR740 development board has been designed to support the development and fast prototyping of systems based on our GR740 quad-core 32-bit fault-tolerant LEON4FT SPARC V8 processor. With the GR-VPX-GR740 Development Board, we have introduced a high-performance Single-Board Computer for use within OpenVPX and SpaceVPX environments.
Based on our GR740 Quad-Core 32-bit LEON4FT SPARC V8 processor, the GR-VPX-GR740 board comes in a 6U VPX format (233.5 mm x 160 mm) and is intended for use in OpenVPX chassis occupying a 1” slot (including mezzanine board). The board can also be used in stand-alone operation with a single 12V supply, in this case with limited VPX functionality.
The board is equipped with on-board memories for boot and application storage, and an SODIMM for SDRAM. The front panel includes basic communication interfaces and LED indicators, whereas the rear connectors are intended for OpenVPX/SpaceVPX backplane connections.
The current GR-VPX-GR740 product includes a simple mezzanine board GR-VPX-SPW-MEZZ which provides two SpaceWire interfaces on the front panel. This mezzanine board does not include all the mezzanine interfaces provided by the main board. The mezzanine interfaces supported by the main board are listed to provide information for the users who can build their own mezzanine boards. Currently, this board product is not provided with any other mezzanine board other than the GR-VPX-SPW-MEZZ.
The main board supports the following mezzanine interfaces (which can be utilized by the users to build their own mezzanine cards): A HPC-400 FMC connector for FPGA or other mezzanine boards provides interfaces with PCI, 2xSpaceWire and GPIO of the processor. It also connects to the Data Plane of the backplane via two Fat Pipes (8 differential pairs each) and four Thin Pipes (4 differential pairs each). Further signals routed between the mezzanine connector and the backplane include two Thin Pipes to the Control Plane and other system control signals. Note: Among these mezzanine interfaces, the GR-VPX-SPW-MEZZ mezzanine board make use of the two SpaceWire interfaces to provide two Front panel SpaceWire interfaces.
The board is developed to be used as a Switch Module in the OpenVPX architecture based on ANSI/VITA 65.0-2017. It can also be ordered as a factory-configured variant with the backplane interface designed as a Switch and Controller Module providing some of the features of the SpaceVPX architecture specified in the Draft ANSI/VITA 78.00-2015.
Therefore, the board offers two factory-configured variants, the difference being related to the pinout of the P1 connector for the Control Plane:

*Note: These interfaces are available on the main board and interfaced with the mezzanine connector. Currently, the mezzanine board delivered along with this product do not support and do not make use of such interfaces. These interfaces are listed to provide information for the users who can build their own mezzanine boards.
