PPC4A supports SDRAM on a fast 100 MHz memory bus, for maximum performance. Five Ruggedization Levels in both Air and Conduction-cooled form factors, make PPC4A the clear choice for Systems Integrators and Defense OEMs serving the market for leading edge Naval, Land Based and Airborne embedded computing platforms. PowerPC 7410 processors clocked at 500 MHz and higher, and PowerPC 755 processors clocked at 400 MHz or higher, are available to satisfy the most demanding performance requirements while maintaining form, fit and function compatibility with previous generations of Radstone PowerPC SBCs. Radstone protects your investment in application software by maintaining a standard functional envelope with a clear performance upgrade path enabling technology insertion and maximum hardware and software component re-use across multiple applications and programs. Software support includes Radstone Built-In-Test (BIT) and SilverChip firmware as well as Board Support Packages (BSPs) and Enhanced Support Packages (ESPs) for VxWorks/Tornado from WindRiver Systems and LynxOS from LynuxWorks. In addition, third-party OS support is available for BlueCat Linux (also from LynuxWorks ) and for RTEMS from OAR Corp. PPC4A is backed by Radstone’s 40+ years of experience supplying rugged electronic systems and long term program management to the world’s industrial and defense marketplace.
