Successor

For new projects we recommend that you use the successor, dSPACE DS1007 PPC Processor Board.

The DS1007 PPC Processor Board is supported by dSPACE Releases since 2014-A.

The DS1007 is more than just a suitable replacement. It also provides numerous additional benefits such as its greatly improved computation power with its 2 GHz dual-core PowerPC processor and its integrated high-bandwidth Ethernet host interface for setting up modular systems without additional host interface cards. Furthermore, USB mass storage devices can be connected via the integrated USB-interface for long-term data logging and autonomous booting of real-time applications without a host connection.

If you have any questions or need further information, your contact in the dSPACE sales team will be glad to help. 

Migration Information

Generally RTI models for DS1005 based systems can be re-used with DS1007 boards. Certain features might not be available, however, or the model must be adapted.

Additional dedicated migration information would be published here.
