Product Details:

MOTOROLA MVME5500-0161 belongs to MVME5500 series 6U single-slot VME64x embedded single board computer, adopting Marvell GT-64260B system controller and Universe II VME bridge, equipped with MPC7455 1GHz PowerPC G4 processor with AltiVec vector processing unit, integrated 32KB L1 instruction cache, 32KB L1 data cache, 512KB on-chip L2 cache and 2MB L3 cache. This variant is configured with 512MB soldered ECC SDRAM, expandable to 1GB via RAM5500 memory mezzanine, 40MB on-board flash memory divided into 32MB and 8MB banks, 32KB battery-backed NVRAM integrated with real-time clock, two EIA-232-D serial ports, one 10/100Base-TX fast Ethernet RJ45 interface and one Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interface. It supports two 64-bit PMC mezzanine expansion slots running up to 66MHz and compatible with PrPMC processor modules. It complies with VME64x specification and supports 2eSST high-speed transfer, supports A16/A24/A32 addressing and D8/D16/D32/D64 BLT, MBLT block DMA transfer, can act as VME system controller, integrates programmable timers and hardware watchdog circuit. The built-in PPCBug firmware monitor supports serial console debugging, self-test diagnostics, flash boot and network boot configuration. This legacy embedded board is end-of-life, available stock are refurbished replacement spares for vintage industrial and test automation systems.

This SBC can act as VMEbus master or slave and realizes high-bandwidth data exchange between VME64x backplane and dual independent PCI buses through GT-64260B bridge chip. The AltiVec engine provides powerful vector computing capability for signal processing, imaging and complex algorithm tasks. It provides dual serial channels for console debugging and peripheral connection, gigabit and fast ethernet ports for flexible network deployment and dual PMC slots for custom I/O, storage or communication mezzanine modules. Users can match it with other VMEbus I/O and acquisition modules to build high-performance embedded control systems. Optimized PCB layout suppresses electromagnetic interference, and it maintains stable compatibility with VxWorks, Linux, QNX and other classic real-time operating systems for PowerPC G4 platform.

It adopts standard single-high 6U eurocard mechanical specification and draws +5V, ±12V power supply from the VME backplane. Front panel provides serial connectors, dual RJ45 Ethernet ports, Scanbe type handles, reset/abort switch and status LED indicators. Hot swap operation is not supported; power supply must be shut down before installation or removal. The PCB and soldering assembly meet industrial shock and vibration specifications for cabinet mounting.

It is widely deployed in semiconductor test equipment, aerospace equipment, industrial control subsystems and long-cycle industrial data logging racks requiring AltiVec vector signal processing, ECC memory protection, 1GHz high-speed CPU, mixed gigabit and fast ethernet networking and dual PMC expansion capability. Typical application scenarios include VME64x rack main CPU replacement, high-throughput signal acquisition system maintenance and legacy automation platform retrofit. Automation integrators select this Motorola MVME5500-0161 for its MPC7455 1GHz,512MB ECC SDRAM configuration,serial ports,gigabit ethernet,fast ethernet,dual PMC slots.
