About
Offering high processing power and flexibility with low SWaP, Xiphos’ On-Board Computer (OBC) is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding SmallSat missions, giving full control over all spacecraft subsystems. Based on the Xiphos Q8 processor board, it is backed by 120+ years of flight heritage. The OBC offers a large selection of interfaces for all spacecraft subsystems and monitoring inputs for thermal and analog telemetry. Its reconfigurable 3v3 GPIO and LVDS pins allow for custom interfaces, while flexible RS-422/485/232 serial settings make it easy to adapt to the host spacecraft’s hardware suite. The Xiphos toolchain gives full control over the FPGA fabric and Linux Operating System environment.
