The DIGILAB XA is one of El Camino's new generation high performance and high integrated processor modules providing a configurable number of user definable network interfaces as well as general purpose I/Os all within the industrial standardized 3U CompactPCI format.
The DIGILAB XA utilizes ALTERA's EPXA4 or EPXA10 Embedded Processor FPGA with an ARM922T running at 200MHz, single or dual port SRAM and a free programmable PLD portion of more than 1 million system gates.

Typical Applications:

• Evaluation Board for FPGA Hardware and Embedded Processor based Software Development
• Network Processing: intelligent Network Interfaces and Switches
  • Ethernet Network Interface 10/100Base-TX, 100Base-FX
  • AFDX Network Interfaces (up to 4 x 100 Base-TX, 1 x 100Base-FX)
    • TCP/UDP/IP Protocol Stack and tasking services included as firmware
    • Memory mapped API utilizing PCI standard bus
    • SNMP/MIB, ftp, data loading, etc. evaluation
  • AFDX Switch
    • optimized Layer 2 (MAC) by dedicated (VHDL) IP-core
    • data link layer easily adaptable to future standards definitions (redundancy, security, etc.)
    • Traffic filtering and shaping functions provided by dedicated (VHDL) hardware
    • 4-port switch unit within one FPGA
    • cascading of switch units for 8, 12,...24-port switch by high speed serial links
  • adaptable to future standards definitions (ARINC 664, ARINC 628, EtherNet/IP, ModBus, etc.)
  • high Speed Serial Link (800 Mbit/s LVDS)
  • IrDA
  • Bluetooth
  • etc. (Infiniband, RapidIO, Hyperlink, Firewire IEEE1394, FibreChannel, ...)
• parallel Processing in strict partitioned Environments using several DIGILAB XA Boards connected by high speed serial Links
• intelligent Sensor/Actuator I/O with Signal pre-/post-Processing and Network Connectivity
• embedded Web Server: Data Acquisition and Control
• ASIC Prototyping
• suitable as Standard Product for small Series due to Industrial Temperature Range Availability
