The GR-CPCI-RTAX board is a Compact PCI for­mat development board which has been developed in cooperation with Gaisler Research to enable the evaluation ofthe LEON3-FT processor on the Ac­tel RTAX2000 Field Programmable Gate Array.

The LEON3-FT is an IP core which implements a 32 bit Sparc V8 Embedded Processor. The stan­dard implementation is targeted for commercial designs while the Failure Tolerant (FT) version is targeted for use in Space and Defence applica­tions with failure tolerance features including inter­nal upset resistant structures, register parity pro­tections and EDAC for external memories.

This board is targeted to accept either Actel AX2000 (commercial) or Rad-Tolerant RTAX2000 devices.

On-board volatile and non-volatile memory, togeth­er with serial and Ethernet interfaces makes this board ideal for evaluation of the performance and behaviour of both the Hardware and Software for the LEON3.

The board is capable ofoperating either as a stand-alone board, or as a compact PCI plug-in card in either the System slot or Peripheral slots. An adapter is available to allow the installation of the board in a standard PCI slot ofa Personal Computer.
