VPX computer-on-module VX3124 series

NXPArm® Cortex®-A72 Dual-coreARM

Rugged, high-performance VPX computing for embedded defense, aerospace and transportation systems. The VX3124 delivers powerful multicore Arm processing in a compact 3U VPX format, optimized for long-life programs in harsh environments. Based on the NXP LX2160A with 16 Arm Cortex-A72 cores, it combines compute density, secure architecture, and high-speed I/O. With its compact VPX design and robust Arm-based processing, it gives system designers unmatched flexibility to scale performance without compromising SWaP or reliability. With soldered ECC DDR4, non-volatile storage, and secure boot architecture, the VX3124 is ideal for resilient, real-time embedded systems in rugged and long-life programs.
