Teknor Applicom Inc. has introduced a multiprocessing peripheral processor designed for mission critical datacom and telecom applications such as voice over IP (VoIP). The Teknor Pentium III based cPCI-MXP64 is CompactPCI (CPCI) bus and form-factor compliant, and meets the CPCI hot swap spec. Teknor supports the device under Linux as well as several other operating systems.

The cPCI-MXP64 features is based on a the Intel's low power version of the Pentium III processor, running at 500 MHz with a 100 MHz front side bus. Other features include support for a 64-bit CPCI bus, up to 768 MB of onboard SDRAM, and unique circuitry which lets the peripheral processor work independently from the main system processor. The cPCI-MXP64 supports Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) through FPGA logic, and features one multiple mode parallel port (SPP, EPP, ECP), two serial ports, and a 64-bit AGP CRT SVGA controller with 2 MB video memory. High MTBF was a key design goal, to enhance system reliability and availability.
