Intel Xeon Single Board Computer (SBC) – Acromag

The AcroExpress® VPX6860 is a high performance Intel Xeon based SBC. This OpenVPX 6U single board computer based on the 6th Generation Intel® Xeon® processor (formerly Skylake) and PCH. XMC and AcroPack expansion slots add flexibility for on-board FPGA processing, I/O interfaces, and other functions

Memory

This board accommodates one or two DDR4 ECC SODIMMs, for a total of up to 32GB removable memory. The SODIMMs are firmly attached to the module with screws for easy replacement. Surrounded by heat sink material to provide a mechanically and thermally robust mechanism. Two M.2 expansion slots provide on-board data storage capabilities.

Operating System Software

The VPX6860 Xeon SBC has drivers available for Linux® and Windows®.
