N.A.T. has announced the availability of five board support packages for the operating systems of VxWorks, Linux, OSE (operating system embedded), OK1-M, and QNX and hypervisors for its communication processor AMCs (advanced mezzanine cards), the NAMC-QorIQ-family. VxWorks is suitable for digital living, embedded virtualisation and mobile network infrastructure. The OSE is claimed to be optimised for complex distributed systems. Embedded systems are implemented in the automotive, industrial, security and defence applications. Symmetric multiprocessing optimises load-balance of parallel workloads. The NAMC-QorIQ-P40 AMCs are equipped with eight e500mc cores, operating at frequencies up to 1.5GHz and feature embedded hypervisor technology. One variation is the NAMC-QorIQ-P40-ECO, which is suitable for applications requiring strong processor capacity, low power consumption with limited need of memory, claims the company. The NAMC-QorIQ-P40 targets telecomms applications requiring I-time division multiplexing support realised via the on-board Lattice FPGA. Finally, the NAMC-QorIQ-P4080-V6 provides a Xilinx's Virtex-6 FPGA with 95% free FPGA capacity for communication applications such as DSP, control, data transfer requiring customised on-board information. All three boards are available as single-width, mid- or full-size AMCs.
