1000Mbit Ethernet, GPS receiver
on board and a set of high-speed
serial links for application specific
needs.
• The MFCC 8447, a successor of
the MFCC 8441 and MFCC 8443
is a PMC with PPC 750FX, up to
256 Mbytes of main memory and
most of the Virtex II Pro resources
available for specific applications.
• The MFCC 8448, will succed the
MFCC 8442 and 8442xD PMC as
powerful computing coprocessor. It
can be equipped with up to two
PCC 750FX or PPC 7447 CPUs, up
to 512 Mbytes of main memory,
and 10-1000Mbit Ethernet.
• The GPIO 8408 allows to use the
power of the Virtex II Pro FPGA
on a PMC without the complication
of an additional processor. This is
the most economic solution for
applications in which the CPU of
the carrier SBC board is sufficient
to handle the I/O requirements.
Experience acquired with the current
implementation of HALs will be used in
the design of these boards, to provide a
hardware infrastructure which fits the
software requirements as far as possible.
Conclusion
Commercial and military aircraft system
designs face similar constraints on
development time, development costs and
unit system costs. With the development of
a coherent ‘Lego’ of function units, CES
was able to provide solutions meeting
these constraints in both fields. Today,
solutions originally developed for a
military program are more and more
frequently applied to commercial systems
and vice versa.
