VX3124

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Kontron VX3124 is a high-performance 3U VPX computing module designed for real-time embedded systems in defense, transportation, and industrial edge computing. It is powered by a 16-core Arm Cortex-A72 SoC, offering a compact footprint, low power consumption, and long lifecycle support, making it suitable for mission-critical, SWaP-constrained environments.

Specifications: The module is equipped with the NXP LX2160A SoC, featuring 16 Arm Cortex-A72 cores clocked up to 2.0 GHz, and operates at a typical power of 30W. It includes 16 GB DDR4 ECC SDRAM and 32 GB eMMC non-volatile storage. The board supports high-bandwidth data throughput with native 10 GbE support and multiple PCIe Gen3 and SATA interfaces.

Architecture: The VX3124 leverages NXP’s DPAA2 architecture for accelerated data-plane operations, offering up to 100 Gbps compression and 50 Gbps cryptography throughput. It is designed for high-bandwidth, latency-sensitive systems across secure networking and real-time applications.

Connectivity: The module provides comprehensive I/O options, including dual GbE, USB 2.0/3.0, and configurable serial ports on the front panel, with additional connectivity through the backplane, including PCIe Gen3, 10G and 1G Ethernet, SATA, USB, and serial interfaces.

Compliance and Integration: The VX3124 is compliant with VITA 65 slot and module profiles, ensuring seamless integration into VPX-based systems. It supports modular open standards for interoperability and multi-vendor configurations.

Software and Security: The module supports U-Boot and Yocto Linux natively, with options for VxWorks. It features Secure Boot, Arm TrustZone, and rollback protection for secure and resilient deployments.

Applications: Typical applications include onboard mission processors for UAVs and ground vehicles, signal intelligence, radar, electronic warfare processing nodes, virtualized industrial firewalls, secure routers, railway TCMS, onboard video surveillance, and smart infrastructure controllers.

Technical Information: The module operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for rugged conduction-cooled versions and 0°C to +55°C for air-cooled versions. It supports various environmental specifications, including vibration, shock, and altitude resilience.
