Available as a mezzanine add-on companion
board to the CCG-RUMBA and successor CPU
cards, the CCI-RAP is provided with
additional PCI Express driven I/O resources,
such as PCIe Mini Card sockets, SATA and
FireWire controllers.
Mass storage options include SATA, PATA
and USB SSD devices. Optionally, a DVI
connector allows for dual screen video
operating mode.
Furthermore the CCI-RAP is equipped with
common legacy I/O ports, e.g. RS-232. A
secondary Firmware Hub can be configured
as alternate- or backup-BIOS.
Another option available is the Trusted
Platform Module according to TPM 1.2 for
safety critical applications.
The PCI Express Mini Card sockets are
especially useful for wireless applications
such as WLAN, GSM (HSDPA), WiMAX, and
even GPS. Up to three front panel SMA style
connectors are available for direct
attachment of swivel antennas.
Each Mini Card slot is provided with a SIM
card holder, as required for GSM based
services.
The CCI-RAP will be attached on top of the
CPU carrier board, and typically shares its
front panel with the host carrier (usually 8HP
front panel width in total). Interconnection
between the CCI-RAP I/O module and the
CPU carrier board is achieved by several
expansion connectors, which comprise the
PCIe (PCI Express x 4), LPC (Low Pin Count)
and SDVO interfaces.
As an option, the CCI-RAP is available with a
mezzanine module (C20-SATA), which
accommodates one or two 2.5-inch SATA
hard disk drives (RAID option). Alternatively,
either a CompactFlash card adapter, or a
1.8-inch Flash drive (or hard disk) can be
attached to the CCI-RAP, as optional
mezzanine module. In addition, a USB SSD
(Solid State Drive) module can be stuffed.
Vision systems and other real time
applications can profit from the dual port
