ADP adopts MIL-STD-1533 capability

Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES), makers of board- and system-level embedded computing solutions for commercial and military applications, has rolled out the integration of MIL-STD-1533 capability from Data Device Corporation (DDC) into its Avionics Development Platform (ADP). This integration provides a head start for customers developing 3U VPX-based avionics systems.

X-ES has integrated the DDC AceXtreme MIL-STD-1553 BU-67X10F/M PMC module into its ADP to provide up to eight dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels. This effort involved mounting the DDC PMC onto the conduction-cooled XChange3000 3U VPX PMC/XMC carrier, integrating the BU-67X10F/M PMC driver into Linux, and developing the XIt1073 3U VPX Rear Transition Module (RTM) to provide an I/O path for a conduction-cooled BU-67X10F/M PMC module during development.

The ADP is a fully-tested, prepackaged, 3U OpenVPX development platform that provides the functionality and I/O required by avionics applications. The ADP supports conduction-cooled payload modules and air-cooled RTMs.
