Product overview

The SBC2A72-SVPX combines dual Arm Cortex-A72 processing, integrated graphics, and flexible I/O in a 3U SpaceVPX single-board computer. Its Vorago VA7230 processor is paired with ECC-protected DDR4 and eMMC storage for application software and data. A companion CertusPro-NX-RT FPGA and XMC+ mezzanine interface allow additional I/O functions to be implemented without redesigning the base computer. An onboard radiation-hardened microcontroller provides system management, local monitoring, and power control. The platform supports onboard payload computing, image processing, command and control, and graphics applications, with development support from the NXP Layerscape Linux software environment.
