VITA46.0标准,全称为"American National Standard for VPX Baseline Standard",由ANSI(美国国家标准协会)和VITA(VMEbus国际贸易协会)联合发布,最初于2007年10月批准,版本号为R1.0。此标准是针对VPX(Virtual Platform eXtensions,虚拟平台扩展)技术的基础规范,旨在为嵌入式系统提供一个开放的标准平台,以便于模块化、可扩展的设计和互操作性。 VPX是构建高性能、灵活和可重构系统架构的一种方法,它允许硬件和软件组件以模块化方式运行在标准的工业标准硬件上。VITA46.0定义了VPX平台的基本框架,包括硬件接口、通信协议、电源管理、散热、系统配置以及调试与测试等方面的要求。该标准借鉴了VITA40标准中的Status Indicator部分,并在后续的修订中进行了相应的修正和改进。 在2008年2月的R1.1版本中,主要纠正了几个附录B中的图形错误;同年4月的R1.2版中,对第25页的建议3-6进行了文本修正,将引用的VITA40标准改为更具明确性的"ANSI/VITA40, Status Indicator Standard"。2012年9月发布的R2.0版本对应ANSI修订投票的结果,包含了从VITA65等其他标准中采纳的变更、勘误和编辑修订。 值得注意的是,2013年5月的R2.0a版本对文档格式进行了微调,修正了第三级目录编号问题,统一采用从0开始的编号格式,例如之前的7.3.0应更正为7.3.1。这一修订确保了标准的精确性和一致性,使得所有遵循VITA46.0的VPX产品都能满足高质量的工程实践。 VITA46.0标准对于从事VPX技术开发的工程师、系统集成商和制造商来说,是一项重要的参考依据,它规定了VPX系统设计、实现和测试的通用准则,促进了整个行业的标准化进程和技术创新。随着技术的发展和需求的变化,VITA46.0可能会继续进行更新和完善,以适应不断演进的IT环境。

Abstract This standard describes VITA 46.0 Advanced Module Format for VMEbus systems, an evolutionary step forward for the provision of high-speed interconnects in harsh-environment applications. Foreword VME has been the de-facto bus standard for Commercial off the Shelf ( COTS ) Circuit Card Assemblies since the 1980’s. VME boards have proven to be remarkably capable of evolving to support newer technologies with innovations such as VME Subsystem Bus, PCI Mezzanine Cards (PMC’s) and VME320. However, advances in technologies, appearing particularly in interconnects, have demonstrated the need for an advance in system development. This advance needs to accommodate high speed interconnect, particularly serial interconnects, and higher power delivery in concert with better heat removal. This draft standard addresses these needs in the context of IEEE 1101 form factor modules. Other specifications may address alternate outlines, such as VITA-48 (Draft). Because electronics miniaturization is driving the plug-in module I/O count, most system interconnects will need:  Multi-gigabit differential technology  Core computing cluster switched fabrics  Serial RapidIO, PCI Express, Advanced Switching Interconnect  Sufficient ports to enable distributed switching or centralized switching The plethora of high-speed interfaces available for tomorrow’s plug-in modules:  Network interfaces (Fibre Channel, 10 GbE XAUI, Infiniband…,)  Digital video (TMDS, PanelLink, OpenLDI…)  Mass storage interface (Fibre Channel, Serial ATA…,)  FPGA-based inter-board connections (e.g. Xilinx RocketIO)  Custom sensor interfaces VITA 46 provides an evolutionary roadmap for VME users:  To leverage the broad spectrum of high-speed interconnect technologies  Backward compatibility with VME bus electrical, software and selected mechanicals  Enables heterogeneous architectures which preserve existing investments in COTS-based systems  Addresses both 3U and 6U form factors with commonality  Harsh environment fit ‘designed-in’ up front in the standard  Rugged air or conduction-cooled form factors  High value placed on rear-panel I/O  High-speed connector survivability/compliance
