Dy 4 dual PPC SBC. (Digest).

Dy 4 has added a rugged single-board computer, the SVME/DMV-182, to its VME and CompactPCI product line. The -182 retains backwards compatibility with earlier generations of Dy 4 SBCs, but breaks new ground by providing greater I/O flexibility, more connectivity and higher performance in a single VME slot than was previously possible. The DMV-182 has dual 700 MHz Motorola 7455 processors with Altivec technology and on-chip L2 cache pushing 1Gbyte of DDR Sdram with ECC for sustained high memory bandwidth. Included are two 64-bit PMC sites on independent PCI buses and dual Ethernet ports--one of which is 1 Gbit/sec-capable. The board uses Dy 4's proprietary TherMax thermal management system, which dissipates heat from its two PMC sites to the card edges, allowing two PMCs to be fitted and operated at 10[degrees] cooler than equivalent designs. Dy 4 has also introduced a LynxOS 4.0 operating system board computer that reduces development costs for embedded VMEbus systems. The computer features a Unix look-and-feel with Unix-compatible utilities, networking interfaces, GUIs and hierarchical file system.
