The Blackbird is VersaLogic’s 4th product in the Embedded Processing Unit “EPU” series. The Blackbird was engineered and tested to meet the defense, avionic, and medical industries’ evolving requirements for rugged and more powerful embedded systems. In a compact 125 mm x 95 mm x 37 mm form factor, the Blackbird is a highly-integrated embedded computer. It combines the 6th generation Intel® Core™ “Skylake” processor along with the necessary system interfaces, to make a powerful computer designed to withstand extreme temperature and vibration. Like all VersaLogic’s Embedded computing products it carries a 5 year warranty, one of the industries best. The Blackbird is ideal for embedded applications needing a moderate size embedded computer module designed for lower power, reliability, and a very long production life. In addition it comes equipped with multi-core processing options, on-board security protection, numerous high-speed interconnects, as well as general purpose I/O, flexible expansion and storage options. A wide-range on-board power supply accepts 8 to 30 VDC input to accommodate both fixed and mobile 12 and 24 V systems. The Blackbird, like all VersaLogic products, is designed for a minimum production life of five years. Many of VersaLogic’s products are available for 10 or more years. There are structured programs available that can extend the product life to 15 or even 30 years. VersaLogic developed the Blackbird relying on over 40 years of experience supplying embedded computer boards to industrial, medical, and defense customers. The following slides provide details of the Blackbird capabilities.
