The Motorola MVME5500 is a high-performance single-board computer based on the VMEbus and is the flagship product of Motorola's VME product line. Here is its detailed information in English:
- Processor: It is equipped with an MPC7455 or MPC7457 PowerPC processor running at 1 GHz or higher. The processor also has an AltiVec coprocessor, which is suitable for data-intensive applications and can accelerate high-performance computing tasks.
- Cache: It has 256KB of on-chip L2 cache and 2MB of L3 cache, which can significantly improve the computing performance and data access speed of the system.
- Memory: It supports up to 2GB of DDR SDRAM memory (the specific configuration may vary depending on the version). There are also two banks of soldered flash memory, with capacities of 32MB and 8MB respectively, which are used for firmware storage and update.
- Bus: It provides dual independent 64-bit PCI buses, and the bus speed can reach up to 66 MHz. Each PCI bus has a PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) site, and the Universe II VME interface and PMCspan connector are isolated from the PMC sites on a dedicated 33 MHz PCI bus segment, enabling both PMC sites to operate at 66 MHz.
- Interfaces:
- Ethernet Interfaces: It is equipped with a gigabit Ethernet interface and a 10/100Base-TX Ethernet interface, which can meet different network connection needs and provide high-speed network communication capabilities.
- Serial Ports: Usually, it has two serial ports, which are compatible with EIA-232 standards and can be used for serial communication with other devices.
- Other Interfaces: It may also provide 8 analog inputs, 8 analog outputs, 32 digital inputs and 32 digital outputs (the specific configuration may vary depending on the version), which are used for connecting various sensors, actuators and other external devices.
- Other Components: It is equipped with a 32KB NVRAM and a time-of-day clock with a replaceable battery backup, and also has four 32-bit timers and one watchdog timer.
- Power Consumption: The specific power consumption value is not clearly given in the relevant information, but generally, due to its high-performance components, the power consumption is at a moderate level.
- Dimensions: As a VME module, its dimensions are similar to other standard VME modules. Usually, it is a 6U VME module, and the approximate dimensions are 233mm x 167mm x 60mm (the specific dimensions may vary depending on the actual model).
- Weight: The weight is about 0.9 - 1.5kg (the weight of different models may vary slightly).
- Operating Temperature: It can operate in an environment with ambient air temperatures from -40°C to 85°C, which can meet the requirements of various harsh industrial environments.
- Humidity: It can work normally in an environment with a humidity of 5% to 95% (non-condensing).
It supports multiple operating systems, such as WindRiver Systems VxWorks and MontaVista Linux Professional Edition. These operating systems have the characteristics of strong real-time performance and high reliability, which can meet the needs of different application scenarios.
- Industrial Automation: It is used in process control, motion control and other links in industrial production to realize the monitoring and control of industrial production processes.
- Data Acquisition and Processing: It is suitable for various data-intensive applications, such as collecting and processing a large amount of sensor data and instrument data in industrial production and scientific research.
- Medical Imaging: It can provide high-speed data processing capabilities for medical imaging equipment, such as CT, MRI and other equipment, to help improve the imaging quality and data processing speed.
- Defense and Aerospace: It is used in high-reliability embedded computing systems in defense and aerospace fields, such as flight control systems, navigation systems, etc.
- Scientific Instruments: It is applied to scientific instruments that require high-performance computing and data processing, such as spectrometers, oscilloscopes, etc., to complete complex data analysis and processing tasks.
