Understanding OpenVPX: a closer look at interoperability for VPX systems

摘要

The VPX architecture has been successful since its inception in 2007. With its high-speed performance using the MultiGig connector, wealth of available I/O, rugged form factor, and design flexibility, it has taken the military and aerospace industry by storm. In late 2008 and early 2009, grumblings about the architecture's wide-open flexibility creating interoperability issues turned into a loud chorus. Therefore, the OpenVPX initiative commenced in early 2009, with a goal to provide interoperability definitions for the VPX specification.
