PICMG® 2.17 StarFabric CompactPCI Development Kit

Ayer, MA., Hybricon Corporation announces the release of a PICMG 2.17 development chassis that complies with the PICMG 2.17 specification which was approved and released in May, 2002. The PICMG 2.17 StarFabric CompactPCI Backplane specification provides a standardized way to implement a StarFabric Switch Fabric in a standard backplane without the use of cables, and using standardized backplane connector pinouts. As a sponsor of the PICMG 2.17 subcommittee and as the company chosen by PICMG to perform all of the signal integrity simulation work for PICMG 2.17, Hybricon is intimately familiar with the PICMG 2.17 specification.

Hybricon's development kit consists of a 9-slot tower with an 8-slot PICMG 2.17 StarFabric CompactPCI® backplane. The backplane is tailored for development lab use with PICMG 2.9 System Management, two PICMG 2.17 fabric slots, and a mix of 2.17 node slots with and without PCI and H.110.

• Provisions for CD ROM drive, hard drive & floppy drive
