The D3 is a single-board computer for embedded applications based on the Kahlua II PowerPC. It can be used in a CompactPCI system slot or as a stand-alone card.
The D3 comes with the MPC8245 PowerPC with 300MHz clock frequency and a local 32-bit/33-MHz PCI data bus. It is a complete state-of-the-art SBC offering DRAM, Flash and CompactFlash memory, dual Fast Ethernet, 4 COMs, USB, IDE and keyboard/mouse interfaces as well as an optional onboard hard disk.
In addition, the D3a CPU board can be equipped with PC-MIP mezzanine cards. PC-MIP is the format of choice for all types of workstation I/O such as graphics, SCSI, Ethernet and additional serial lines. The modular combination of I/O functionality on a single-board computer allows to build up tailored control systems which appear as customized solutions based on standard components.
Depending on the kind of I/O requirements, further standard versions of D3 are availabe for other mezzanine standards.
