Discover our new Target Application Guides!
The first are associated directly with the VPX-300 Platform below. They:
- Identify a starting board and its profiles
- Identify supporting boards based on profile and function
- Determine the backplane topology necessary for application data flow, select a standard profile or design a custom backplane based on a standard profile
- Identify an OpenVPX chassis profile

No one does OpenVPX system development better than Elma Electronic.
Here are three reasons:
1. Elma's unique position as a designer and manufacturer of VPX and as a valued partner
to many respected embedded board suppliers ensures our ability to deliver fully
interoperable, multi-vendor OpenVPX solutions that perform as designed.
2. Elma has over 30 years experience developing some of the most complex integrated
platforms in the embedded computing industry.
3. Elma is a member and key contributor to the VITA 65 and VITA 46 working groups as
well as several other OpenVPX specification committees. As a member of both the VPX
Steering Committee and the Technical Working Group, Elma has played a key role in
OpenVPX evolution. We know VPX.

SigPro1 OpenATR Series Signal Processing Platform
The SigPro1 OpenATR box is an OpenVPX™ based signal acquisition system intended for use in signal processing and recording applications such as data acquisition, radar, beamforming, and other high speed signal processing applications.
Based on a Virtex™-6 series FPGA with high performance A/D front end, the system runs on a 2nd generation Intel® Core i7™ processor and includes a two TB storage subsystem with room to expand. For high bandwidth data collection applications, the system can operate in dual channel record and playback mode, with two 16-bit 200 MS/s A/D converters and an 800 MS/s 16-bit D/A converter.
The complete payload is a truly interoperable, multi-vendor OpenVPX platform. The OpenATR is highly configurable, accepting different FPGA cards and firmware. It also runs Pentek’s Talon® series data acquisition and recording system architecture and application software.
- Passively cooled mini ATR-style box
- Intel™ Core i7 SBC
- Virtex™-6 FPGA processor
- Dual 2½”, SLC or MLC SSD storage
- A front-end FPGA cluster performs incoming digital signal processing in advance of higher level back end operations
- Multiple I/O ports brought out via rugged MIL-C-38999 connectors
- Configurable front-end
VPX-300 Reference Development Platform for OpenVPX Systems with Virtex 6 FPGA and GPGPU for High Speed Signal Processing
Models SEFV3PXCNICXNVN and SEFV3PXCNICXNVN-GRA
Architecture reference platform designed to support development of systems targeted for use in compute intensive applications which are implemented by using FPGAs for Front End / Back End processing.
Featuring an Nvidia 240T based GPGPU for high speed graphics, the VPX-300 enables system design in radar signal processing, image processing, and other high bandwidth signal processing in ISR, C4 and persistent surveillance applications.
- As a proven reference platform, the VPX-300 insures that all VPX boards in the system have been selected and tested for interoperability.
- Designed around a Virtex-6 FPGA based front-end processor (FEP) card
- Combining data and control plane topology, the architecture supports multi-processor capability via two clusters for high performance front-end and back-end computing
- The OpenVPX standard based backplane profile provides two separate star sections which are established through a data and control plane switch, handling both PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet links
- A front-end FPGA cluster performs incoming digital signal processing in advance of higher level back end operations
- In addition to high bandwidth FPGA processing, the VPX-300 supports:
• An NVIDIA 240T graphics processing (GPGPU) unit for high definition image processing and graphics acceleration.
• Nvidia’s CUDA parallel computing architecture, which enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the GPU
