The PENTXM2 is a 6U VME SBC whichfeatures a 1.67 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeonprocessor (Codenamed Sossaman) com-bined with the Intel E7520 server classMemory Controller Hub (MCH). It handlesserver-like data throughput and providesnext generation PCI-Express I/O band-width capabilities.

Greater Performance/WattThe Dual-Core Intel Xeon Low Voltageprocessor is a member of Intel’s growingproduct line of multi-core processors.The dual-core technology allows approxi-mately twice the performance at similarpower consumption as previous singlecore products.The user application will also benefit fromthe use of high bandwidth data inter-faces:> 667 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB)> 6.4 GB/s peak memory access toDDR2-400 SDRAM

> PCI-Express interfaces to network,mezzanine and external devices

Unique VersatilityThe PENTXM2 supports all the up-to-datestandard interfaces required for a mod-ern communicant server :> Dual Gigabit ports, configurable eitheron front or on rear P0 in order to sup-port VITA 31.1 backplane networking

> High speed serial storage and data I/Ointerfaces: SATA-150 and USB 2.0

> x8 PCI-Express mezzanine interface totailor the supported features with highperformance COTS ANSI/VITA 42 XMCsuch as Dual Head 3D-graphics ormulti-ports Gigabit Ethernet cards

> x4 PCI-Express interface on theenhanced performance P0 connectorto expand I/O capabilities via the use ofa PMC carrier or any other PCI Expressdevice.

The PENTXM2 features an onboard lega-cy EIDE interface to plug-on a 2’’5 disk orcompact-flash kit.A rich set of LEDs at the frontpanelreport disk activity on EIDE and SATAbuses.

Longterm AvailabilityThe Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor andIntel E7520 chipset are members of theEmbedded Intel Applications productsrange which feature extended life cycle.Associated with Thales’ experienced longterm support offering (LTS Protect), cus-tomer’s investment is protected from fre-quent re-design and maintenance costs

PENTXM2

The Thales PENTXM2 family ofsingle-board computers (SBCs)uses the latest Low Power Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor andE7520 chipset and offers highspeed, server-class performancefor advanced embedded applica-tions. The single slot PENTXM2SBC is ideal for thermally constrai-ned environments and includes allthe up to date I/O standard inter-faces required in a server blade PC.Furthermore, the PENTXM2 pro-duct supports the IntelligentPlatform Management Interface(IPMI) specification for easy integra-tion in complex systems.The Thales PENTXM2 is thereforeideal for bandwidth intensive appli-cations both in a standalone or in acomplex cluster configuration.

System ManagementThe PENTXM2 is the first VME Bladecomputer which features a baseboardManagement Controller (BMC) as out-lined in the VITA 38/PICMG 2.9 recom-mendation. The enabling or disabling ofthe BMC is an hardware build option. TheBMC, which draws less than a Watt,complies with the Intelligent PlatformManagement Interface (IPMI) rev. 1.5.This allows to control the PENTXM2 whilethe main processor is off-line.

EFI BIOS/FirmwareThe PENTXM2 supports a BIOS/Firmware which complies with ExtensibleFirmware Interface (EFI) specification.The EFI specification defines a new modelfor the interface between operating sys-tems and platform firmware. The inter-face consists of data tables that containplatform-related information, plus bootand runtime service calls that are avail-able to the operating system and itsloader. Together, these provide a stan-dard environment for booting an operat-ing system and running pre-boot applica-tions.Written in C, the EFI firmware can easilybe tailored to fit customers’ application.Please, contact Thales.

Built in Test OptionThales diagnostics tools for Intel-basedSBCs provide a comprehensive set ofBuilt-In Test (BIT) routines to verify theintegrity of the underlying hardware.Designed for use with mission-criticalsoftware with hard real-time constraints,they simplify integration with applicationsrunning COTS software. Three test setdefinitions are available in Flash: coldstart, warm start, and forced start.These definitions can be tailored toachieve the appropriate test cover-age/starting run time ratio. The ThalesPower-on BIT (PBIT) routines run auto-matically at power-on, and the testresults are stored in onboard Flash mem-ory for later use by the operating systemor application.

Board Support PackagesBSPs are available for Linux 2.6,VxWorks, LynxOS, Windows and QNXNeutrino.

>>Technical DataPENTXM2 + V2PMC2 Carrier:4 PMC 64/66 in only 2 slotsThe 4x PCI-Express expansion port ofthe PENTXM2 can be used tointerface the V2PMC2 6U Dual PMCVME carrier in order to have twicemore PMC slots supporting 64-bit/66 MHz PCI bus. The V2PMC2uses a transparent PCIe-PCI bridgeand is able to host one 5V PCIsignaling mezzanine.
