Overview

The TVME8240A VMEbus CPU board is based on the high integrated MPC8245 Power PC microprocessor with an MPC603e based CPU core, a powerful Memory controller and PCI interface.

The TVME8240A provides 4 IndustryPack slots with front I/O, NVRAM/RTC, Fast Ethernet, and FLASH memory.

Powerful Processor and I/O Combination

The combination of an MPC8245 processor and IndustryPack slots provide a powerful CPU and a modular I/O solution for applications in process control, telecommunication, medical systems and traffic control.

Software Support

Software support for the TVME8240A CPU board is available for VxWorks, Linux, LynxOS, and OS-9. A PMON Bug Monitor is installed on the TVME8240A.
