The AMC131 is a 32-bit AdvancedMC™ (AMC) compute module that features the Freescale™ MPC8641D dual-core 1 GHz PowerPC® processor and is designed for high-performance embedded applications. The AMC131 provides equipment manufacturers with the ability to extend and tailor the performance of their AdvancedTCA® and MicroTCA™ systems to meet the increasing need for cost-effective and modular processing capabilities.

The Freescale™ MPC8641D processor provides a highly scalable PowerPC architecture that delivers next-generation performance. Its multi-core architecture offers advanced processing speed while addressing the power and heat constraints of the AMC form factor. Designed to run Linux®-based applications, the AMC131 is the ideal processor for the high-end packet processing or multi-threaded software applications found in IMS, wireless, softswitch, defense, or other compute-intensive applications.

Hardware Features

The AMC131 is built around a dual-core 1 GHz MPC8641D PowerPC processor. This device offers a highly cost-effective, network-optimized approach to performing packet processing and general computing tasks. The AMC interfaces include eight lanes of PCI-Express® and dual 1 Gb Ethernet ports.

The AMC131 can be configured with up to 2 GB of DRAM and 128 MB of boot Flash so it can operate as an independent processing element, and it features a miniSD™ card for global storage. It features a real-time clock (RTC) with battery back-up, an optional USB interface, and mid-size face plate.

Flexible I/O and Super Computer Performance

The AMC131 is designed for use in AdvancedTCA carriers or in a MicroTCA chassis, and allows system designers to build NEBS-compliant, highly-reliable solutions that combine state-of-the-art management with the highest performance power and cooling. The AMC590 video AdvancedMC module provides a high-performance graphics interface.

NexusWare® Software Support

The AMC131 supports Linux operating systems. In addition, it is supported by Performance Technologies’ Linux-based NexusWare® software development environment. NexusWare is an integrated, CGL-Registered, and POSIX-compliant Linux OS and development environment that features a graphically integrated toolset.
