The Emerson / Motorola / Force Computers SPARC/CPU-3CE/32-40-1 is a single-slot 6U VMEbus board computer that delivers SPARC workstation performance in an embedded systems package. This board integrates Sun Microsystems SPARCclassic architecture with VME expandability, supporting Solaris and hard real-time operating systems for industrial and specialized embedded applications.
## Technical Specifications
• **Processor:** SPARC architecture, 40 MHz clock speed
• **Memory:** 32 MB RAM total; 1 MB on-board user flash EEPROM
• **VMEbus Interface:** Single-slot 6U, full 32-bit IEEE 1014 compliance
• **Expansion:** Two standard SBus slots for I/O expansion
• **Boot PROM:** OpenBoot PROM with system environment reconfiguration and dynamic driver code loading
## Key Features
• Supports Solaris operating environment and VxWorks real-time OS
• Standard Eurocard form factor for VMEbus enclosures
• Direct connectivity to SPARC workstation peripherals: floppy drives, Fast SCSI drives, Ethernet interface
• Serial and parallel communications controllers
• Keyboard and mouse port support
• SBus expansion accommodates hundreds of specialized I/O cards for video, graphics, networking, manufacturing control, and scientific instrumentation
## Typical Applications
Embedded systems requiring SPARC compute performance in constrained form factors; real-time process control; industrial instrumentation; VME-based system integration with high-speed I/O requirements.
## Compatibility & Integration
Full compatibility with Sun Microsystems SPARCclassic workstation software. Operates within standard VMEbus system architectures. Supports both commercial Solaris environments and deterministic VxWorks real-time execution models.
