The F218 3U CompactPCI PowerPC MPC8314-based slave CPU board serves as an Ethernet diagnosis buffer. Two Ethernet controllers in the card’s FPGA enable the host to view the F218 as an Ethernet device, similar to a front connection of two CPU boards via an Ethernet cable.
The F218 features up to 256 Mbytes of 133-MHz DDR2 SDRAM and 16 Mbytes of flash. The card operates from –40° to 85°C and supports VxWorks, Linux, and QNX. The VxWorks board support package boots in less than 2 s. ($940 — 4 to 6 weeks ARO.)
