Pigeon Point Systems Announces MicroTCA Carrier Management Controller BMR Starter Kit Using Fusion Mixed-Signal FPGA
Based on Pigeon Point Systems' field-proven MCMC offering, the kit accelerates a customer's design cycle and enables designers to concentrate on differentiating their MCH products instead of using internal effort to meet management requirements for specification compliance and interoperability. In addition to the MCMC functionality, the ARM® Cortex™-M1 processor in the mixed-signal Fusion FPGA hosts the Pigeon Point™ µCarrier Manager™ and µShelf Manager™ components to enable cost-effective and compact management of an entire MicroTCA shelf. The Fusion FPGA based MCMC integrates significant functionality that would need to be implemented as external devices in an MCMC based on a traditional microcontroller, saving substantial bill-of-materials (BOM) cost and reducing footprint.
The kit includes the following:
- Schematics for a complete MCMC subsystem ready for integration into an MCH design.
- Customer-adaptable design for the Fusion FPGA that serves as the core of that subsystem.
- Corresponding firmware, delivered in source form.
- Bench top MCMC and supporting hardware to enable an immediate ramp up on MicroTCA's IPMI-based management framework, without waiting for custom hardware.
