Abstract
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.
