microTCA Starter Kits

The NATIVE-Starter is designated to any applications in industry, research, (tele-) communication and medical, where engineers need to start right away with their development. Being off-the-shelf and application ready saves time and costs.

Key features:

- table top chassis with integrated cooling and power units
- full-size MCH with 1GbE and fat pipe support for PCIe or XAUI or SRIO
- mid-size Core2Duo PrAMC
- mid-size or full-size slots for free usage
- AMC extender for own AMC developments

The NATIVE-RTM reflects the latest revision of MTCA intended to be used with any application that requires rear transition modules, i. e. research, or excessive board space.

BittWare’s MicroTCA Rapid Development Platform with the processing power of up to six Altera Stratix® Family FPGAs in an integrated platform solution.
The development platform offers up to six AdvancedMC slots with either a custom or standard MicroTCA backplane, opening up an endless array of system configurations. The system arrives tested and configured, enabling designers to speed up the development process. And with the addition of BittWare’s ATLANTiS FrameWork enabling reconfigurable data routing, this development system enables users to fully design and debug in a portable, flexible environment.
The MicroTCA development platform is available with up to six BittWare FPGA AdvancedMCs; options include the D4-AMC, S4-AMC, GX-AMC, and B2-AMC. The D4-AMC features the Altera Stratix IV GX and Stratix IV E FPGAs, the S4-AMC features the Altera Stratix IV GX FPGA, the GX-AMC features the Stratix II GX FPGA, and the B2-AMC features the Stratix II FPGA and four Analog Devices ADSP-TS201 TigerSHARC DSPs.
