System platforms which are standard, high versatile configurations designed to meet a wide range of development needs, have been released by VadaTech. The first two chassis in the Express Development Platforms series, the EXP100 and EXP200, feature six AMC slots and two AMC slots respectively in 1U enclosure height. Both versions have an integrated low-cost shelf manager and universal AC power.

The two-slot is a basic low-cost design with one Intel-based processor AMC (VadaTech’s AMC720). The routing across the backplane is point-to-point, allowing any fabric to be utilised (10 or 40GbE, SRIO, PCIe, Aurora, etc). The result is a compact, versatile, and low-cost development platform for MicroTCA/AMC based requirements.

The six-slot Exp200 provides more optional modules with a 6Gbps SATA storage AMC and a 16-core Cavium-based packet processor. The six-slot chassis has PCIe Gen 2 across the fat pipes (ports 4-7) and an option for 10GbE on ports 8-11. Both the EXP100 and EXP200 have the OS pre-installed (on processor). The covers of the 1U chassis are easily removable for prototyping and development.

The Express Development Platforms are available now. A version for 40G/MicroTCA.4 will be available in Q4 2014.
