The D7 is equipped with one or two high-performance Intel® multi-core Xeon® processors each, which sum up to four CPU cores running at 1.66 GHz. The versatile 4 or 8HP/6U (single or double-slot, double-size Eurocard) CompactPCI single-board computer is designed especially for embedded systems which require high computing performance. It comes with a tailored passive heat sink - forced air cooling is required inside the CompactPCI system.
The D7 offers a 64-bit/66-MHz PCI or a 64bit/133MHz PCI-X interface to the CompactPCI bus, where it can be either a system slot or peripheral slot device. PCI Express for high-speed communication is supported on board to connect the two Gigabit Ethernet controllers as well as one or two XMC modules.
A wide range of different memory is available on the D7, such as a maximum of 4GB DDR2 SDRAM with ECC as main memory. The non-volatile memory comprises up to 8MB buffered SRAM, 16KB FRAM and 1GB NAND Flash as mass storage for program memory. All memory components are soldered to guarantee reliable shock and vibration resistance. A hard disk slot is also implemented. Aside from parallel ATA support, two serial ATA lines are available in addition.
The I/O available at the front panel of the D7 includes two XMC or PMC module, two Gigabit Ethernet and one USB 2.0. VGA and one COM port is also available at the front panel.
Graphics is provided in the FPGA which can also be used to implement further application-specific I/O functions. An additional 32MB SDRAM is connected to the FPGA, e.g. for use as graphics memory.
The D7 is also prepared for rear I/O where for example two USB ports, two COMs, IDE, audio AC'97 or the rear I/O signals from the PMC modules can be connected.
A board management controller is implemented to supervise the CPU, all voltages, processor and board temperature, and reset. The controller is completely independent of the CPU and monitors all states of the CPU.
Equipped with Intel components that come exclusively from the Intel Embedded Line, the D7 has a guaranteed minimum standard availability of 5 years.
The D7 is suited for a wide range of industrial communication applications, for example networked appliances (base stations, gateways, routers etc.), instrumentation and test or railway signalling equipment. Main target markets comprise telecoms, medical engineering and transportation.
