3 Functional Description Processor and Bus Architecture The C8 is a powerful processing platform achieved using Intel's new Core2 Duo dual-core processor, the GM965 Express Chipset, the ICH8M I/O Controller Hub, and extensive supporting memory arrays. In addition the board s architecture was designed to utilize all bus interfaces to the maximum. System Architecture Tthe C8 implements Intel's advanced GM965 Express Chipset Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and I/O Controller Hub (ICH8M). The 8 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) ensures high speed communications between the processor and the GMCH, while a Direct Media Interface (DMI) bus provides efficient high-bandwidth communication between the GMCH and ICH8M. The GMCH provides the host interface controller, system memory interface (SDRAM), direct media interface, external graphics interface, and an integrated graphics engine. The ICH8M integrates a number I/O controllers and interfaces for legacy and high speed devices. The ICH8M provides an LPC bus as well as multiple high-speed PCIe lanes used to implement PCI, PCI-X, and GBE via appropriate bridge devices. Processor The Core2 Duo is Intel's high performance, low power processor based on the Intel Core micro-architecture with dual processing cores, 32 kb on-die instruction and data L1 caches, and a 4 MB on-chip L2 cache. The processor implements Intel's virtualization technology, enabling the creation of multiple virtual partitions, each running a different application. The Core2 Duo provides advanced power management features including enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology. The C8 can be factory configured with the processor operating at 2.2 GHz for the highest performance operation, at 1.67 GHz for optimal power per performance operation, and at 1.6 GHz for lowest power consumption. CompactPCI The C8 utilizes one of the ICH8M PCIe ports and the Pericom PCIe to PCI Bridge for the CompactPCI backplane interconnection. Implementing a standard 32-bit/66 MHz PCI interface in accordance with the PCI specification. In a CompactPCI subsystem, the C8 is capable of performing either as a system controller, or as a peripheral card. As system controller, the C8 supports up to six additional cards on the PCI backplane, providing them with clock signals and arbitration support. The C8 PCI interface is universal, supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V PCI signaling levels. The C8 drives 3.3 V signals and is 5 V tolerant. Memory The C8 is equipped with large memory arrays providing the user with extensive volatile and nonvolatile memory resources. These arrays include up to 2 GB fast DDR2 (Double Data Rate) SDRAM operating at 667 MHz, and up to 2 MB of Flash BIOS. Flash Disk A SATA II Flash Disk of up to 64 GB provides on-board mass storage, eliminating the need for externally attached mass-storage media. The Flash Disk is controlled directly from the ICH8 I/O hub. The SATA Flash Disk is soldered on the board for maximum reliability under harsh environmental conditions. Integrated Graphics Controller The C8 includes an on-board graphics controller implemented in the GM965 Express Chipset. The graphics controller is capable of 2D and 3D graphics processing, supporting Microsoft DirectX 1 and SGI OpenGL 1.5/2.. The graphics controller also includes a video engine providing hardware motion compensation, 4-channel MPEG YUV, and numerous additional features. The C8 provides video output interfaces supporting CRT (RGBHV) and TV (composite NTSC/PAL/RS-17). I/O Interfaces In addition to its superior processing power, the C8 provides a variety of I/O capabilities. Ethernet Two 1BaseT/1BaseTX/1BaseT interfaces are implemented in a Dual Gigabit LAN Controller (with integrated PHY) using four of the ICH8M PCIe lanes. USB 2. Ports USB Rev. 2. host controllers (backward compliant with Rev. 1. and Rev. 1.1) integrated in the ICH8M provide two USB 2. ports. The controllers integrate the USB transceivers supporting high-speed, fullspeed, and low-speed signaling. The C8 is capable of providing power to downstream devices.

4 SATA II A SATA II interface enables connection of external mass storage devices to the C8. The SATA II interface is fully compliant with the Serial ATA 1. specification with SATA II extensions, supporting data transfer rates of up to 3 MB/s. Serial I/O The C8 provides two UART serial ports supporting full RS-232/422/485 physical interfaces. Discrete I/O Up to eight single-ended or four differential generalpurpose discrete I/O channels are provided on the C8. Each channel may be independently configured as input or output. Configured as input each of these channels may be programmed to generate an interrupt on any level shift event. The eight discrete I/O signals are divided into four groups, each controlling two signals. Each group may be configured as two single-ended TTL channels or one differential RS-422 channel. HD Audio The PCH supports Intel s High Definition (HD) Audio, which is compliant with Microsoft s Universal Audio Architecture (UAA). Using an HD Audio codec, the C8 provides a stereo output. PMC Expansion The C8 provides an industry standard expansion slot for extended flexibility and integration of additional elements to the SBC. The PMC slot resides on a 64-bit PCI bus provided by the ICH8M, via a PCIe to PCI Bridge, and is capable of up to 66 MHz bus operation. The PMC slot is universal, supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V PCI I/O signaling levels. This slot therefore does not include a voltage key. I/O Routing All C8 on-board I/O resources and PMC I/O are available at the C8 J2 backplane connector. PMC I/O is per PICMG 2.3 R1.. Timers The C8 includes one 32/64-bit and two 32-bit timers/counters providing high-precision timing functionality. These timers can be chained together (cascaded) to support long timing interval counting applications. A real-time clock (RTC) provides time and date keeping. Both standard and windowed (avionics-style) watchdog timers are available on the C8. Implemented in the system FPGA, the watchdog is an avionics-style programmable windowed watchdog timer, which must be serviced within a software programmable window defined by minimum and maximum times. If serviced too early, too late, or not at all, this watchdog timer will generate a timeout event. It may be independently set to generate a nonmaskable interrupt or reset the SBC. Elapsed Time Recorder An on-board electronic Elapsed Time Recorder (ETR) records cumulative operation time and power on-off cycles in a dedicated NVRAM whenever the C8 is powered. ETR data is software accessible by the user. Software Test and Diagnostic Features The C8 is supplied with a customized BIOS tailored to its architecture, capabilities and features. The BIOS includes POST capabilities as well as system configuration options for boot device, boot sequence, etc. A JTAG/COP interface to the processor is provided for debugging and development purposes. Operating Systems The C8 with its custom BIOS fully supports installation and operation of the following operating systems: Microsoft Windows Linux Wind River VxWorks Operating system specific device drivers are provided for all on-board resources, allowing the user to take full advantage of the C8's powerful features. Support for other operating systems may be available upon request. Mechanical Features The C8 is available in both air-cooled and conduction-cooled mechanical formats. Both are single slot 3U modules. A custom metal frame integral to the conductioncooled version of the C8 provides excellent rigidity and shock resistance. The frame also provides an array of stiffeners to support rugged PMCs. Dimensions Air-cooled: per PICMG 2. R3. Conduction-cooled: per ANSI/VITA Weight Air-cooled: < 3 g (.66 lbs) Conduction cooled: < 33 g (.73 lbs)

5 Thermal Management Careful mechanical design, including custom heatsinks combined with a metal frame, allow for optimal heat dissipation and relief of the board. The C8 is also equipped with two temperature sensors, located at temperature-critical locations, to monitor board temperature and provide temperature data to user application software. Power Requirements The C8 takes all its power from the CompactPCI backplane. It should be provided with +5. V, +3.3 V and ±12 V as defined by the CompactPCI specification (±12 V is required for PMC compliance only; the C8 does not require ±12 V for its own operation). All other power sources required by C8 resources are generated on board. Total power consumption of the C8 depends on its configuration and assembly options, and operating conditions. In its fully featured configuration (no PMC installed), C8 power consumption with the different processors options, in WindowsXP idle condition and when running the PassMark BurnInTest (CPU, memory, graphics), is as follows: Environmental Features Please refer to the Aitech Ruggedization datasheet. Accessories Optional accessories for the C8 include the TM8 Rear Transition Module (RTM) and the CM9 3U CompactPCI PMC Carrier. For system integration and other development purposes, the TM8 RTM provides convenient access via standard connectors to all C8 I/O interfaces and all PMC I/O. The RTM supports both the air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions of the C8 when mounted in a commercial air-cooled chassis. The CM9 is a 3U CompactPCI PMC carrier on which any industry standard PMC card can be mounted. Using one or more CM9s, system functionality can be significantly expanded by enabling the C8 to control additional PMCs over the CompactPCI backplane.
