Original Press Release:



High Bandwidth, High Performance 3U CompactPCI Serial Board First in New Series from MEN Micro



BLUE BELL, Pa. – MEN Micro Inc., a world-renowned provider of embedded computing and I/O solutions for mission-critical industrial, mobile and harsh environment applications, now offers the G25A, a high-performance multicore CPU platform based on Intel’s Xeon D-1500 System-on-a-Chip (SoC).



• Intel Xeon D-1500, up to 16 cores

• Up to 32 GB DDR4 DRAM with ECC

• Two 10 Gb Ethernet interfaces

• 4 HP system master and peripheral slots

• Trusted platform module (TPM) for system security



Xeon D-1500 SoC at heart of G25A provides up to 16 cores

The 3U SBC is first in a family of CompactPCI Serial boards designed specifically for high data bandwidth based on PCIe 3.0, PCIe 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet via the backplane.



Offering up to 16 independent CPU cores, the G25A is ideal for use in data servers and mobile data centers as well as for demanding applications found in trains and aircrafts.  The built-in Intel VT hardware make the board ideally suited for virtualization applications to build up virtual machines.



A integrated high-performance data transfer line, when paired with I/O cards, can easily transferring data to and from storage media or the Internet via LTE, WiFi, copper or optical Ethernet.



To enable easy handling of high data volumes, MEN Micro's G25A supports two 10 Gb Ethernet interfaces on RJ45 or M12 connectors, a USB 3.0 port, an RS232 port for configuration as well as a PCIe 3.0 interface via the backplane.  Available versions come with 4, 8 or 16 cores to provide modular computing performance.



This new SBC features up to 32 GB of soldered DDR4 DRAM with ECC and a board management controller that provides thermal supervision of the processor and acts as a watchdog for the operating system.



A microSD card can be connected via a USB interface providing added space for user applications or for use as a local boot medium and an integrated trusted platform module (TPM) provides enhanced system security.

The G25A is ready for conformal coating so that it can be used in humid and dusty environments and can be equipped with a heat sink.  It can also be embedded into a conductive cooling frame.  All the of the unit’s components are firmly soldered into place and are guaranteed to be shock and vibration resistant, making it suitable for applications outside of a protected server room like in a train or airplane.



The G25A has a guaranteed minimum standard availability of 7 years.
