Description
The NATIVE-mini is a compact µTCA chassis featuring two payload slots for single full- or mid-size AMC modules, and an embedded MCH (NAT-eMCH) which enables the communication between the AMC modules and the monitoring of the system, including the power and cooling management.
The NAT-eMCH provides via its 1GbE switch direct access to both AMCs and the system management via the 1GbE-Uplink at the chassis front. The 1GbE switch also allows the direct integration of the system components in an existing network infrastructure.
Unlike the NAT-MCH, the NAT-eMCH is restricted in its functional range. Nevertheless, it supports the typical hot-swap-management and its transition state machine (M0 to M6) for each AMC module.
In addition to that, the NAT-eMCH monitors and verifies local sensor data of the chassis and installed FRU devices, and supplies µTCA power and cooling concepts by accessing the chassis integrated power supply and fan coolers. Remote administration can be done locally over the Command Line Interface served by the front USB port.

Solutions / Applications
The NATIVE-mini aims for applications which are cost-sensitive and get along with only few AMCs, but on the other hand want to profit from the proven technological benefits that are offered by µTCA (e.g. error detection and isolation, open system management and monitoring, etc.).
Due to the fact that the chassis is stackable or mountable in a 19’’ rack, the NATIVE-mini is multi-purpose and usable, e.g. for digital video and image editing, automation and machine control, electronic signal processing, security, and gateway.
