The Abaco Systems C2K33210C is a 6U CompactPCI embedded computer built for mission-critical defense, aerospace, and homeland security applications. Built around a Freescale MPC7447A PowerPC G4 processor running at up to 1 GHz, it delivers the processing power needed for complex real-time operations in rugged environments. The system supports up to 1 GB of DDR SDRAM with ECC, protected memory for fault-tolerant processing. The Marvell MV64460 bus interface chip manages data flow across dual expansion slots, enabling modular payload integration.
