The Kontron CP6000 is a 6U CompactPCI embedded computer engineered for demanding industrial, transportation, and defense applications. Built on the Intel 855GME chipset with a Pentium M processor (1.1 GHz LV to 1.8 GHz), it delivers performance equivalent to a 2.6–2.8 GHz Pentium 4 at approximately half the power consumption. The system supports up to 2 GB PC333 DDR SDRAM with ECC, integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 for high-resolution output (2048 × 1536 × 8-bit/60 Hz), and flexible storage via 2.5-inch HDD (SATA/IDE) or CompactFlash. Connectivity includes up to four Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000Base-Tx), USB 2.0, dual serial interfaces, and one 64-bit/66 MHz PMC slot for functional expansion. The CompactPCI backplane operates at 32-bit/33 MHz (PICMG 2.0 Rev. 3.0 compatible) with optional PICMG 2.16 R1.0 packet-switching support, enabling deployment as either a system master or PCI passive peripheral.
