For designs using a PrPMC/XMC processor mezzanine installed on a carrier baseboard, the XPedite5600 from Extreme Engineering Solutions offers an easy upgrade path to a higher-performance processor mezzanine subsystem. The XPedite5600 features include a Freescale P2040 or P2041 processor with four PowerPC e500mc cores running at up to 1.5 GHz and implemented on an air-cooled PrPMC/XMC form factor. The module supports up to 8 Gbyte of DDR3-1333 ECC SDRAM along with two rear I/O SATA 3.0 Gbit/s ports. It includes a x4 PCI Express Gen2 XMC interface or 32-bit PCI PMC interface plus one front panel and one rear I/O USB 2.0 port. There are three rear I/O Gigabit Ethernet ports plus one on the front panel and two I/O RS-232/422/485 serial ports each on the front and rear panels.
