The Kontron VMPC6c, with single or dual processors (BSPs may differ), is part of the PowerEngine6 family of ruggedized SBCs that provide a wide range of uses for industrial, military, and aerospace environments.

Like many Kontron SBCs it incorporates ASIC design, Avignon (Chip CPC710) for host bridge control, plus dedicated control of interrupts and real-time functions. It can also be supported with a wide range of PCI Mezzanine cards (PMCs) with corresponding drivers to handle graphics, communications, high-speed networking, data acquisition functions, and more.
