OpenVPX Offers a Forward Path for Space - SpaceVPX, or VITA 78, which was developed according to the Next Generation Space Interconnect Standard (NGSIS), leverages OpenVPX to create high performance, fault tolerant interoperable backplanes and modules for electronic systems of spacecraft. This relatively new update to the family of VPX standards is also being brought into the SOSA Consortium for inclusion in its reference architecture.
Over the past several years, the Modular Open RF Architecture (MORA) has evolved to address the challenges of increasingly complex radio frequency (RF) systems through an open standards-based infrastructure. With several industry partners working together to develop a collaborative framework, MORA’s interoperability and modularity has been realized, resulting in successful demonstrations of multiple manufacturers’ technologies working together. So, we asked some of our open standards partners: What’s next for MORA-based systems and the embedded computing community, now that interoperability demonstrations have been successfully deployed?
Looking back we can now see a shift in how development platforms are designed and how they are used by our integrator customer base. That shift is making it easier and less expensive to perform the development stages of a deployable system project and put solutions into the hands of the warfighter faster than ever before. Development hardware can also be shared between projects, or inherited by subsequent projects. This saves not only on lab budget, but the time to order and receive all new hardware for a new development project.

CompactPCI Serial has enjoyed notable success in rugged embedded industries thanks to its modularity, scalability and cost efficiencies. It’s a modular, open standard that has great application opportunities in applications where it can withstand most tough environmental requirements. After all, it’s widely used in the railway and transportation industry. For this blog, we asked a few CompactPCI Serial community members this question: What are some aspects that engineers should know about when evaluating CompactPCI Serial as a potential system architecture?
System integration challenges have changed over the past few years, with new demands being put on manufacturers for integration, troubleshooting and system upgrades. This blog explores how Elma and its partners Interface Concept, Concurrent Technologies and EIZO Rugged Solutions define what partnering means within our ecosystem when working together.
