6U VPX “ESM” NXP QorIQ T4241 Processor Board
Phantom series 6U VPX “ESM” NXP QorIQ T4241 SBC is a variant of the 12-core QorIQ T4241 board featuring an Enhanced System Module (ESM) configuration. It provides the same high performance multi-core processing as the standard version, with additional support for custom rear transition modules to expand I/O. This makes it ideal for applications requiring extra I/O flexibility in harsh defense and aerospace environments.
