“We have continued to develop a wide portfolio of products based on the latest generation Intel® Core™ processor family for demanding applications. Glen Fawcett, CEO, Concurrent Technologies, commented:

A comprehensive Built-in Test (BIT) package and board level security package are also available, the latter providing features designed to prevent access to sensitive data. The standard BIOS can be replaced with a customer configurable Fast Boot package to provide improved boot times. A number of optional tools and utility packages are available to enhance the product for critical embedded applications. To aid integration, Concurrent Technologies develops and supports board support packages in-house for popular embedded operating systems including Windows ®, Linux ® and VxWorks ®. Other enhancements include USB3 connectivity for high speed interfacing and setup operations.

One or two XMC/PMC sites are available, depending on variant purchased, for local I/O expansion. Other solid state storage options include a CFast slot and a Flash disk module site to provide a choice for reliable program and data storage. Up to two DVI-D interfaces and a DisplayPort connection are available as options for applications needing high resolution digital display support.Ī 2.5-inch drive can be accommodated on-board for mass storage and Concurrent Technologies offers a range of hard and solid state disks. A front or rear VGA port is provided for backwards compatibility with previous boards.

All processor variants include Intel HD Graphics 4600 which has 20 execution units and can support three simultaneous display outputs. Variants are also offered based on i5-4410E and i5-4422E processors for dual core based performance and power optimised solutions. The headline variant of VP B1x/msd uses the quad-core i7-4700EQ processor that features new instructions to enhance vector processing and security along with improved graphics capability. January 2015 – Concurrent Technologies announces VP B1x/msd, a 6U VME board based on a 4th generation Intel ® Core™ i7/i5 processor.
