I'm not so sure the F-18 Stores Management Processor used the i960MX. Any sources to confirm that?
There has been some interest recently in the F-22 Common Integrated Processor using the i960MX, as the USAF wishes to retire older F-22 Block 20 Aircraft.
Apparently, newer F-22 Blocks use FPGAs to provide a functional soft core of the i960MX, without having to locate long obsolete chip sources for legacy avionics designed in the 80s
- kens 3y agoOf course I have a source :-) https://www.google.com/books/edition/Avionic_Systems_Design/2zGcO6zZ-NIC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=80960mx&pg=PA33&printsec=frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/Avionic_Systems_Design/... It was upgraded from the HAC-32 (Hughes system with the i960 MX) to PowerPC around 2002.

- sillywalk 3y agoVery interesting article. The 35(!) i960s in the F22. Do you know how they were ..distributed?
