The Champ-AV5 from Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing hosts a pair of 2.53-GHz Intel dual-core Core i7-610E processors. The 6U VME64x Champ-AV5 complements the company’s other new board, the SVME/DMV-1905 single-board computer. The SVME/DMV-1905 is also based on a Core i7 processor. The Champ-AV5 has a 17-Gbyte/s (peak) DDR3 memory subsystem. Each processor has 2 Gbytes of error correction code memory. A PMC/XMC slot provides expansion. The Champ-AV5 is pin-compatible with the Curtiss-Wright Controls MPC7447/7448-based Champ-AV4. Air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions of the Champ-AV5 are available. The system comes with a VxWorks 6.x BSP and Linux. Pricing starts at $14,500.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
