Custom FMC Designs

Most systems need custom input output capabilities, the FMC card is an ideal place because most of the complexity remains on the SpaceVPX board.
Novo Space can help clients leveraging its expertise in designing, developing and integrating custom rad-tolerant FMCs, in a fast and efficient way.
Please contact us to design the FMC board you need.

Novo Space development kit allows immediate access to the hardware. This kit enables software development to start months before having the backplane ready.
This setup supports several configurations and connections, which enables SBCs to be configured as a controller or a payload profile, and interconnect them easily.
The complete kit is intended to test interfaces, display power consumption, and have an easy and quick way to interact with the hardware.
The Dev kit consists on several boards and tools working together:

SUP005AX - Raspberry Pi cape: sits on the RPi header and exposes all signals to regular connectors

B01900AV - Backplane loopback: tests the backplane connector interface of SpaceVPX boards
B01901AV - Backplane breakout: connects the RPI to SBCs, control its power and interfaces
SUP001AF - FMC loopback: tests the FMC connector interface
SUP002AF - FMC breakout: quickly prototype FMC boards to de-risk new FMC design
NOVAPI - software platform to program and interact with the hardware
Power dashboard - displays power consumption of the SpaceVPX and FMC cards connected to the breakout board

The SBC002AV is a high performance single board computer compatible with the Vita 78 SpaceVPX standard.
The main device is a Zynq Ultrascale+ with a 4 GBytes ECC protected DDR3 SDRAM. A VITA 57.1 FMC connector allows to extend its capabilities with any compatible FMC board.
This is our ideal platform for implementing machine learning using TensorFlow and PyTorch directly on FPGA fabric without modification while keeping a low power consumption.

SUP002AF - FMC breakout board

The SUP002AF FMC breakout board is a mezzanine card designed to be used as a breakout board of an VITA 57.1 connector. It also has the basic peripherals to work like a generic FMC such as the EEPROM and clocks needed by the standard. The user can design fast prototypes on shields mounted on top of it and reuse the board.

B01901AV - 1 Slot Breakout Backplane

Dev Kits

The B01901AV exposes al interfaces of a SpaceVPX connector with the payload profiles. It allows control of any standard compliant board while gathering telemetry.
Using its connectors, board can be interconnected and allows to quickly develop applications, even those needing high speed interfaces.
When a controller profile board is needed a breakout cape can be used to exposed the desired interfaces.
