Pigeon Point SystemsWorld-Class Management Solutions for xTCA™ Platforms

2010

When it comes to implementing Telecommunications Computing Architecture (xTCA)hardware platform management solutions, most hardware product vendors prefer to bypass the

hassle of custom building a solution and select an existing proven solution instead. Pigeon Point Systems,

as the dominant supplier of these solutions to leading companies worldwide, is by far the best choice. In

addition to shipping in tens of thousands of boards and shelves and being thoroughly validated by the

largest telecom equipment manufacturers, Pigeon Point solutions have been systematically tested in

dozens of PICMG® xTCA interoperability workshops since 2002, making them the standard against which

other implementations are measured for xTCA interoperability.

The Pigeon Point solutions include Board Management Reference (BMR) Starter Kits based on the Actel SmartFusion™ intelligent

mixed signal FPGA and Fusion mixed signal FPGA as well as Renesas Technology H8S and Atmel AVR® microcontrollers, plus

Shelf Management Mezzanine (ShMM) modules, which provide the core processing and firmware for an AdvancedTCA® (ATCA)

Shelf Manager. The SmartFusion-based solutions support the A2F500 and A2F200 devices, while the Fusion-based solutions

support the Pigeon Point enabled P1AFS1500 and P1AFS600 Fusion devices.

When implementing robust and fully compliant hardware platform management solutions for “always up” hardware, you can do things the Hard Way or the Pigeon Point Way.

The Pigeon Point Way covers all of the xTCA management controller types:

SmartFusion ArchitectureAlong with microcontroller (MCU), FPGA and analog, SmartFusion intelligent mixed signal FPGAs integrate substantial flash and SRAM memory and

comprehensive clock generation and management circuitry. SmartFusion architecture enables data storage and execution of code from a single monolithic

device. In addition, in-application programming (IAP) enables real-time updates and reprogramming of the complete chip. Design compromises that were

inevitable with traditional fixed-function microcontrollers and FPGAs are eliminated when designing with SmartFusion devices.

No-Compromise Microcontroller Subsystem (MSS) Programmable Analog No-Compromise FPGA Fabric

• Hardwired industry-standard 100 MHz,

32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 CPU

• Multi-layer AHB communication matrix

with up to 16 Gbps throughput
