The SBC346 Rugged Single Board Computer
(SBC) from GE Intelligent Platforms features
the high performance, highly integrated
4th Generation Core i7 processor platform
from Intel.
The 4th Generation Core i7 offers integrated
graphics and memory controller plus quad
core processing up to 2.4 GHz all in one
device. Coupled with the Mobile Intel QM87
Express Chipset, this provides an
unmatched level of I/O bandwidth for both
on-board and off-board functions.
Features of the 4th Generation Core i7
• Graphics support for DX11.1, OpenCL 1.2,
OpenGL 3.2
• 5 to 15% CPU performance boost over
3rd generation
• Intel TurboBoost Technology
• Intel AVX 2.0 extensions and
AES-NI instructions
• Hardware-assisted security features
• Hyper-Threading Technology – two
threads per core
The SBC346 is designed to offer maximum
PCIe
®
bandwidth to the backplane with a
total of 21 (x4, x16, x1) PCIe lanes across the
P1 and P2 connectors. The x16 link is ideal
for connection to ultra-high performance
GPGPU modules such as the GRA112.
Memory resources include 16 GB DDR3L
SDRAM, up to 32 GB NAND Flash (SSD),
32 MB BIOS Flash and 16 MB BIOS backup
Flash.
The SBC346 is designed to meet the
requirements of a wide range of
applications from industrial through to
fully rugged defense and aerospace
programs. It offers extended temperature
capability and a range of air- and
conduction cooled build levels.
A rich software choice is planned for the
SBC626, including comprehensive Deployed
Test Software (FSP-enabled BIT, and BCS)
plus operating system support for Microsoft
Windows 7, Open Linux (Fedora), Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux, Wind River Linux, and
VxWorks. Examples and assistance are also
available for integrating ‘chain of trust’
operation (from power-up to application
start), plus Wind River’s FSP-enabled
VxWorks Boot Loader, into system
scenarios.
