StarFabric based cPCI PMC carrier board

Description

The SF410 is a CompactPCI PMC carrier board with StarFabric links. It is capable of hosting two single PMC modules or one dual PMC module. The SF410 StarFabric inter-connect conforms to the PICMG 2.17 multi-segment node board specification, with I/O mapped to J5 according to PICMG 2.3. The carrier provides a StarFabric interconnect between two PMC modules, four external StarFabric links on J3 and a CompactPCI interface on J1/J2. In addition to providing a StarFabric interconnect, the carrier also routes the user defined I/Os from the two PMC sites to J5.
