OpenVPX™ Interoperability and Rugged Signal Processing
OpenVPX enables integrators to match modules with compatible backplanes and chassis. However, in order to achieve true interoperability, you need to understand how the OpenVPX system of module, slot, backplane, and power profiles fit together. This white paper provides an introduction to OpenVPX terminology and explains its key architectural features.

Putting VPX and OpenVPX to Work Handbook, 1st Edition
OpenVPX provides an effective method for describing VPX components, and also defines numerous “profiles” for boards, slots and backplanes that detail specific configurations of channels, interconnections and fabrics. By narrowing the field of configurations, these profiles boost reusability and interoperability between vendors. OpenVPX presents a formal, well-organized system for defining all components in VPX systems.
