VPX985

The VadaTech VPX985 Chassis Manager is based on the VITA 46.11 specification. The VITA 46.11 leverages the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and AdvancedTCA Specification by PICMG as its architectural foundation. The VPX985 is based on VadaTech VT040 Module VT040 - Shelf Manager, 4th Generation ATCA, MTCA and VPX platforms (vadatech.com).

The VadaTech Chassis Management solution is derived from our field proven VadaTech ATCA Shelf Manager utilizing core interfaces such as the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Remote Management Control Protocol (RMCP), Web Interface, System Management application (Scorpionware™), and a user-friendly Command Line Interface.

VadaTech VPX IPMC and Chassis Management solutions support VITA 46.11 Tier-2 command set, providing a higher level of functionality in the management layer and chassis cooling capabilities. Additionally, VadaTech VPX management solutions have taken advantage of the HPM.1 PICMG Specification providing a framework for upgrading the IPMC firmware.

The Module has GbE as SFP connecting to the Shelf Manager. It also has dual GbE to P1 as 1000Base-BX (SERDES Based).

The module also has an option for JTAG Switch Module (JSM) and optional Virtual Probe, easing device access within the chassis for FPGA code developers. The JTAG Ports from each VPX module are routed to the P3/P4 for a total of 18 modules. This allows max flexibility within the chassis.  The optional Virtual JTAG feature is available via either of the GbE Ports (front or rear). 

The JSM can also be used as a standalone module via the front panel connector, so multiple JTAG dongles are not needed within the chassis.
