Open Source & Open Hardware
Decentralized infrastructure works better when complex systems use and adapt similar blueprints and it is for this reason that SpaceChain has sought to create its own adaptable open hardware board, where even new iterations of it will be back-compatible something we have achieved with Callisto.
It is this effort to enable developers to collaborate and innovate which minimizes waste and maximizes efficiency. Similarly, where a board is widely used, costs decrease.
Callisto is a dual operating system board utilizing two Cortex A-9 Cores to run Linux OS and SpaceChain OS simultaneously.
This is mediated by a network interface card which enables the two to communicate with each other whilst maintaining their own memory so that blockchain information and spacecraft operation environments are kept separate for better security.
The board also features a Zynq-7000 SOC programmable logic based on Xilinx SoC architecture similar to that which is used in apple products and can provide up to 100Gb/s of I/O bandwidth.
It is this high bandwidth that enables rapid multisignature transactions and provides adaptability for a range of different payload uses. These can include adding components and sensors to deliver a wide range of use cases. Development and Uses
The use of a Linux OS enables easy compatibility and maintains high performance.
Furthermore, as an open-source operating system, it is easy to work with, modify and enhance according to requirements. It is this which creates greater adaptability to a wide range of uses.
