Enabling interoperability in high-performance embedded applications

OpenVPX expands on the VPX Base and Dot Specifications and provides a System Specification to address interoperability issues between VPX modules and Chassis. OpenVPX is an extensible specification which addresses the current and future needs for computing in harsh environments.

Risk management for counterfeit materials

Counterfeit materials will continue to challenge the defensive capabilities of manufacturers in the military and aerospace industry.

Early verification and validation using model-based design

One of the primary benefits of model-based design is the opportunity to do rigorous verification and validation in parallel with all other development steps, especially early in the development process.

Smarter products - software becomes the most active ingredient

As software becomes the most active ingredient in product innovation, traditional manufacturers are essentially becoming software companies. While this transformation is sparking unprecedented leaps in product value, it is also introducing new challenges and implications.

Building ultra-slim embedded systems with Em-ITX

Building a slimline or thinline embedded system can be a difficult task or a relatively simple one depending on the form factor chosen for the task. But how slim is slim enough?

Hybricon: standard VITA 65 compliant VPX backplanes

Hybricon announces the availability of standard VITA 65 Compliant VPX backplanes, compatible and interchangeable with Hybricon’s Air Cooled Development Chassis Families. Hybricon’s standard VITA 65 VPX backplanes meet the following specifications: VPX Backplanes support OpenVPX, VPX and VPX REDI, ANSI/VITA 46.0, ANSI/VITA 65, VITA 46.3, VITA 46.4, VITA 46.7, and VITA 46.11 draft standards, VITA 48.0, VITA 48.1 and VITA 48.2 draft standards, VITA 65 OpenVPX: backplane configurations.

They are suitable for use in both Air Cooled VITA 48.1 and Conduction Cooled VITA 48.2 applications. Designed to meet environmental requirements per ANSI/VITA 47 class ECC4 (requires optional conformal coating to meet requirements such as humidity, salt and fog), the backplanes support operating temperatures from -40 to +85 ˚C at MSL.
