Changes from [VITA 65-2010]

The change bars in this document show changes from [VITA 65-2010], with the exception of
very minor changes such as formatting and punctuation.
This section does not highlight all changes. Here are examples of changes that are not
specifically listed in this section:
• Formatting changes are not listed (these are also not indicated by change bars).
• Minor changes to informative text are not listed.
• There were several places where there were minor problems with Section headers, table
titles or figure titles, these are not listed. For example Figure 10.3.1-1, had been labeled as
a “Payload Slot Profile” but the title of the Section it is labeled “Peripheral Slot Profile”.

With Sections that were re-written, in order to keep the reference numbers, for the requirements,
in the new version of this document, unique from the numbers used to reference requirements in
the previous version, the sequence numbers in sections that are re-written start with a sequence
number that is larger than the largest number in the previous version of the section. Here is the
section that was re-written:
• Section 5.3 — This section was re-written. The Working Group decided that the PCIe
topology information that was included in [VITA 65-2010] was confusing. We decided to
make the issues of PCIe topology, that were being covered in Section 5.3 of
[VITA 65-2010], beyond the scope of this document. Also, the re-write allows for a
Common Reference Clock whereas [VITA 65-2010] did not.

Some errors with [VITA 65-2010] were found. With the exception of the re-write of Section 5.3,
requirements that were deleted, that had other requirements following them, in the same section,
were left in place, with “***Deleted***”, inserted at the beginning of the requirement. This
preserves requirement number, so the numbering of other requirements does not change and to
makes it clear that the requirement was deleted, in case it was referenced by an external
document. The text of the deleted requirement is struck through. Here is a list of corrections
and other changes:
• Updated Section 1.2 to reflect sections that were added to accommodate new protocols and
connector types.
• With Section 1.3.2, the following terms were added to the Glossary:
o IB (InfiniBand)
o PCIe Common Reference clock
o TFP (Triple Fat Pipe)
• With Section 1.3.2, the following terms were removed from the Glossary:
o System Root Complex

ANSI/VITA 65-2010 (R2012) Page 24 of 555 February 2012

 • With Section 1.3.2, there were some changes to existing items in the Glossary, as
indicated by change bars.

• Updated Section 1.3.3, to reflect the construction of Profile names including VITA 67
connectors.
• Section 1.3.4 (Backplane Profile Topologies) added text and figures to better defined the
terminology used to refer to topologies.
• Section 1.4 was re-written to not refer to the VITA internal documentation concerning the
maintenance of VITA 65.
• Section 1.5 gives the references. In [VITA 65-2010] the revision of references was not
included. Now it is. In addition to adding revisions to references, text was added to the
introduction of Section 1.5 to explain that references might be out of date.
• Observation 2.1.1-1 was deleted. This was mentioning a template for compliance that has
not been implemented.
• Rules, associated with resistance value, were re-worded to make it so that a resistance,
within a tolerance range is required, as opposed to requiring a particular value and
tolerance of a resistor. For example instead of saying “a 4.7 Kohm +/- 5% resistor” is
required, we say a “resistance of 4.7 Kohm +/- 5%” is required. These changes did not
change the resistance value that was required to meet the requirement. Here is a list of the
Rules changed in this way: Rule 3.4.3-3, Rule 3.4.4-2, Rule 3.4.4-3, Rule 3.6-2, and Rule
3.6-4.
• It was felt that Recommendation 3.4.3-1 was not clear and was not adding enough value,
so it was deleted.
• With Permission 5.1.2-2, Observation 5.1.2-1, and Observation 5.1.2-2; changed
“1000BASE-KX4” to “10GBASE-KX4”. The “1000BASE-KX4” was there in error.
• There was redundancy between Rule 7.4-1 and Rule 7.4-2. Deleted Rule 7.4-2 and
reworded Rule 7.4-1.
• The beginnings of the Backplane Profiles Sections; Sections 11 and 15 were reorganized
and additional tables were added to the start of Section 15, to account for the addition of
Profiles that include other than VITA 46.0 connectors.
• With Rule 11.2.1.2.4-6 and Rule 15.2.1.2.4-6 there is a note saying the physical slot
numbers can be different from the ones in this document. To make it more clear changed
“the Slot numbers in this document” to “the logical Slot numbers in this document”.
• Rule 11.2.2.3-4 was changed to correct a signal name from “CSutp16” to “CPutp16”.
• The following Observations were changed to make them consistent with the re-write of
Section 5.3: Observation 11.2.2.4-1, Observation 11.2.3.4-1, Observation 11.2.4.4-1,
Observation 11.2.5.4-1, Observation 11.2.6.4-1, Observation 11.2.7.4-1, Observation
11.2.8.4-1, Observation 11.2.9.4-1,

ANSI/VITA 65-2010 (R2012) Page 25 of 555 February 2012

 • The following is a list of Rules that were deleted because they were requiring baud rates
for the Control Plane, when the associated Backplane Profile did not route the Control
Plane, in the backplane: Rule 11.2.7.3-2, Rule 11.2.9.3-2, Rule 11.2.11.4-5, Rule
11.2.15.3-3, Rule 15.2.7.3-3, Rule 15.2.14.3-4.
• With Permission 11.2.12.1-1, changed “Modules can be used” to “Modules may be used”.
• Figure 11.2.11-1 was changed to add the Management Plane and make the way groups of
slots are labeled (e.g. Payload Slots vs. Bridge Slots) and the headings of the columns of
Table 11.2.11-1 were changed to be consistent with the updated figure.
• Of the Module Profile Sections that were present in [VITA 65-2010], the following
InfiniBand Module Profiles were added:
o MOD6-PAY-4F1Q2U2T-12.2.1-13
o MOD6-SWH-16U20F-12.4.2-10
• Rule 14.4.1.3-1 Had been worded saying that there were five Fat Pipes on P1/J1 and half
of P2/J2, but there is only 1 of these 5 Fat Pipes on P2/J2, so fixed wording.
• Sections 15.2.7.4 and 15.2.14.4 were changed to allow another option for which Data
Plane ports connect to which, adding Table 15.2.7-3 and Table 15.2.14-3.
• Fixed numbering with following with Observation 15.2.8.1-1 (was 15.2.8-1).
• Fixed numbering with Observation 15.2.9.1-1 (was 15.2.9-1), changed: “have an adverse
affect on RTM” to “have an adverse effect on RTM”.
• Permission 15.2.10.1-1 was a duplicate, so it was deleted. This was the only requirement
in Section 15.2.10.1, but left the section so number of subsequent sections would not be
effected.
• There were two rules numbered Rule 15.2.12.3-3, fixed the second one to be Rule
15.2.12.3-4.
• With Rule 15.2.12.3-3, Rule 15.2.13.1-1, and Rule 15.2.13.1-2 changed the verification
method from “VM=T,I” to “VM=I”.
• The Backplane Profile of Section 15.2.13 was missing a Utility Plane section. It was added
to the end as Section 15.2.13.5.
• Several 3U Module Profile Sections had the Port Names for the Expansion Plane incorrect
in the column headings of Module Profile tables. The Expansion Plane Port names were
deleted, for consistency with the 6U Module Profile Sections. This problem was fixed in
the following: Table 16.2.1-1, Table 16.2.2-1, and Table 16.2.4-1.
• With Table 16.4.8-1, the profile names were incorrect, changed “2F12T” to “1F14T”.

Section 1.2 gives an overview other structure and explains that this document is structured in a
way to allow new content to be added without disturbing existing content. Here is a list of new
sections:

1 Introduction
The OpenVPX System Specification was created to bring versatile system architectural solutions
to the VPX market. Based on the extremely flexible VPX family of standards, the OpenVPX
standard uses module mechanical, connectors, thermal, communications protocols, utility, and
power definitions provided by specific VPX standards and then describes a series of standard
profiles that define slots, backplanes, modules, and Standard Development Chassis.
Interoperability is at the core of the OpenVPX philosophy. Figure 1-1 illustrates all
interoperable VPX system interfaces. The OpenVPX Standard defines the allowable
combinations of interfaces between the Module, Backplane and Chassis.

• Communication Protocol • Utility Signals

• Pin assignments • Sys Management

The OpenVPX standard acknowledges, but does not define the interfaces between the
Application and the Module or Chassis (Grayed out text and lines).

1.1 OpenVPX Key Element Descriptions
Note: This section uses terms that are defined in the glossary. For the glossary see Section 1.3.2.

1.1.1 Backplane Profiles

At the center of each OpenVPX architectural definition is the Backplane Profile. This profile
contains two important elements: a backplane topology for each communication plane and a slot
interconnection definition for each slot type used. Backplane Profiles are summarized according
to key characteristics at the beginning of the 6U and 3U Backplane Profile sections to aid the
user in finding a desired architecture. All references contained in the Backplane Profile are
hyperlinked for ease of access. Compatible Module Profiles with backplane referenced Slot
Profiles are summarized at the beginning of the Module Profile section.
Each Backplane Profile references a Slot Profile for each slot position on the backplane and then
defines how each pipe in each slot is interconnected and each pipe’s electrical performance. The
Backplane Profiles defined in the OpenVPX standard are specifically targeted for use in
Standard Development Chassis Profiles, however, their end use is not restricted. The Backplane
Profile defines which pins or set of pins are routed in the backplane, and which pins are available
on RTM (Rear Transition Module) connectors on the rear of the backplane. The Backplane
Profile also defines allowed slot-to-slot pitch.

1.1.2 Slot Profiles

Slot Profiles define the connector type and how each pin, or pair of pins, is allocated. Single
pins are generally allocated to the utility plane for power, grounds, system discrete signals, and
system management. Differential pin/pairs are generally allocated for the three communication
Planes called Control, Data, and Expansion. Differential paired pins are grouped together to form
“pipes”. The definition of Planes, Pipes, and Profiles can be found in the Glossary. Finally, Slot
Profiles also determine which pins are user defined. Slot Profiles are categorized as either
Payload or Switch. Payload Slots are further divided into sub-categories such as, but not limited
to, Peripheral, Storage, and Bridge.

1.1.3 Standard Development Chassis Profiles

Within the context of OpenVPX, a Standard Development Chassis is targeted for Plug-In module
system integration and test. OpenVPX defines three variants of Standard Development Chassis:
small, medium, and large. The Standard Development Chassis Profiles also allow for 6U or 3U
height and forced air or conduction-cooled modules. All Chassis Profiles assume the use of Rear
Transition Modules for access to the majority of user defined pins.
