Functional Characteristics
Microprocessor: The VMICPCI-7806 is based on the Pentium M
processor family. The enhanced Pentium M processor has
1 Mbyte of L2 cache while the Celeron M has 512 Kbyte of L2
cache. The Pentium/Celeron M processor family offers thermal
characteristics that are well suited for embedded systems
operating over a wide range of temperatures.
DRAM Memory: The VMICPCI-7806 accepts one 200-pin
SODIMM DDR module for memory configurations of 256 Mbyte,
512 Mbyte and 1 Gbyte.
BIOS: The VMICPCI-7806 System BIOS and video BIOS are
provided in reprogrammable memory.
Video Graphic Controller: High-resolution graphics and
multimedia-quality video are supported on the VMICPCI-7806
by an internal graphics controller. A fully functional, integrated
2D/3D graphics accelerator provides pixel processing and
rendering, with display resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200
supported. The video output is provided through the
CompactPCI connector. Support is provided for both analog and
LVDS digital video.
NOTE: Standard video BIOS support for LVDS is for an 800 x 600
panel only. If the VMIACC-0584 back panel is not used, then the
video should be disabled via CMOS setup.
CompactFlash: The VMICPCI-7806 includes a CompactFlash
socket on the assembly. The CompactFlash may be configured
as the boot device through the BIOS boot device set up. See the
CompactFlash ordering options for the available sizes.
IDE Interface: The VMICPCI-7806 provides an IDE interface for
hard disk drive support. The IDE interface allows support of
several types of data transfers: Programmed I/O (PIO),
8237 style DMA, Ultra ATA/33, Ultra ATA/66 and Ultra ATA/100.
NOTE: Ultra DMA IDE modes require a high performance
80 conductor cable.
Ethernet Controller: The VMICPCI-7806 provides a dual
connection for 10/100/1000BaseTX LAN using the Intel 82546EB
Ethernet controller. Two standard RJ45 connectors are provided
on the front panel with two network status indicators. Both LAN
ports supporting PICMG 2.16. Rev 1.0 are also available via the
CompactPCI backplane.
Serial ATA: The VMICPCI-7806 provides a serial ATA interface via
the CompactPCI backplane connector.
Remote Ethernet Booting: The VMICPCI-7806 utilizes an
Expansion ROM BIOS which enables processor booting from a
network server. The facility supports PXE and a variety of
network boot protocols including BOOTP and DHCP (TCP/IP).
USB Ports: The VMICPCI-7806 provides two high speed universal
serial bus (USB 2.0) ports. The ports are available on the
CompactPCI backplane connectors.
Serial Ports: The VMICPCI-7806 provides two 16550-compatible
serial ports. Each serial port has an independent 16-byte FIFO
supporting baud rates up to 115 Kbaud. Connection for one
serial port is provided by an RJ45 connector located on the front
panel. Both serial ports are available via the CompactPCI
connector.
PMC Expansion Sites: The VMICPCI-7806 provides two individual
IEEE 1386.1 PCI mezzanine card (PMC) expansion sites. This
expansion capability allows the addition of peripherals offered
for PMC applications. One PMC site is 3.3V 64-bit, 66 MHz, while
the second site is 5.0V 32-bit, 33 MHz.
Keyboard and Mouse Ports: The VMICPCI-7806 supports a PS/2
keyboard and mouse through the CompactPCI connector using
the optional VMIACC-0584 backplane adapter.
Hardware Reset: A hardware reset switch is accessible from the
front panel.
Watchdog Timer: The VMICPCI-7806 provides a softwareprogrammable watchdog timer. The watchdog timer is enabled
under software control. Once the timer is enabled, software
must access the timer within the specified time period, or the
output of the watchdog timer will either interrupt or reset the
unit. The reset or interrupt operation is programmable.
