GE VMIVME-7807 VME-7807RC* Intel® Pentium® M-Based VME SBC

Analog Video connector

The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC provide rear I/O support for the following: digital

video, Serial ATA, COM2. 3 and 4. IDE drive and two USB ports. These signals are

accessed by the use of an RTM such as the VMIACC-0586/ACC-0586RC and the

VMIACC-0590/ACC-0590RC, which terminates into industry standard connectors.

The front panel connectors, including connector pinouts and orientation, for the

VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC are defined in Appendix A. Rear panel connections are

defined in the appropiate RTM Installation Guide. Contact Sales for compatible RTMs

The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC are Pentium M processor-based single board

computers compatible with modern industry standard desktop systems.  The

VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC therefore retain industry standard memory and I/O

maps along with a standard interrupt architecture.  The integrated peripherals

described in this section (such as serial ports, USB ports, IDE drives, floppy drives,

video controller and Ethernet controller) are all memory mapped the same as

similarly equipped desktop systems, ensuring compatibility with modern operating

systems.

The following sections describe the standard features of the

VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC

The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC provide DDR Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) as

onboard system memory.  Memory can be accessed as bytes, words or longwords.

The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC accept one 200-pin DDR SDRAM SODIMM along

with the optional solder-in 512MB onboard memory, for a maximum capacity of

1.5GB.  The onboard DRAM is accessible to the VME through the PCI-to-PCI bridge

and is addressable by the local processor.

The PCI bus-based external devices include the Universe IID bridge, PMC site,

Ethernet controllers, FPGA and the GE Fanuc Embedded Systems connector. The

default BIOS maps these external devices to the PCI Interrupt Request (PIRQx) lines

of the 6300ESB I/O controller Hub. This mapping is defined in Table 2-1

The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC incorporate an SMSC Super I/O (SIO) chip. The

SIO provides the VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC with two 16550 UART-compatible

serial ports, keyboard and mouse port. The keyboard and mouse ports are available

via the front panel using a standard PS/2 type connector. COM1 is accessed via the

front panel. COM2 is routed to the VME P2 connector.

COM ports 3 and 4 are also provided by the 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub and are

routed to the VME P2 connector.

The parallel IDE interface is provided by the Intel 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub. The

IDE interface supports two channels: primary and secondary. The secondary channel

is routed onboard to the optional CompactFlash socket. The primary channel is routed

out of the VME P2 backplane connector to an RTM which terminates into a standard

40-pin header. This channel can support a master and slave drive. The IDE interface

on the VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC supports Ultra ATA/33. Ultra ATA/66 and Ultra

ATA/100 drives and automatically determines the proper operating mode based on

the type of drive used. In order to properly function in the Ultra ATA/100 mode, a

special 80 conductor cable must be used instead of the standard 40 conductor cable.

This cable is typically available from the Ultra ATA/100 drive manufacturer.

A Serial ATA Drive Interface is also provided by the 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub. The

Serial ATA port can be used alone or in limited conjunction with the parallel IDE

interface.

The network capability is provided by the Intel 82546EB for the VMIVME-7807 or the

Intel 82546GB for the VME-7807RC Ethernet Controller for Gigabit Ethernet and the

Intel 82551 10/100 Mbit Ethernet. These Ethernet controllers are PCI bus based and

are software configurable. The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC supports 10BaseT,

100BaseTX and 1000BaseT Ethernet.

10BaseT

A network based on the 10BaseT standard uses unshielded twisted-pair cables,

providing an economical solution to networking by allowing the use of existing

telephone wiring and connectors. The RJ45 connector is used with the 10BaseT

standard. 10BaseT has a maximum length of 100 meters.

100BaseTX

The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC also supports the 100BaseTX Ethernet. A network

based on a 100BaseTX standard uses unshielded twisted-pair cables and a RJ45

connector. 100BaseTX has a maximum length of 100 meters.

1000BaseT

The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC support 1000BaseT Ethernet using the Intel

82546EB for the VMIVME-7807 or the Intel 82546GB for the VME-7807RC dual

Ethernet controller. The interface uses shielded cables with four pairs of conductors,

along with an RJ45 connector on the front panel or routed to the VME P2 connector.

The Gigabit Ethernet is also available with the optional VITA 31.1 routed out of the

optional P0 connector

The SVGA port on the VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC is controlled by the Intel

855GME Graphic and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH).  The GMCH is hardware and

BIOS compatible with the industry SVGA and digital video standards supporting

both VESA high-resolution and extended video modes.  Table 2-2 and Table 2-3 show

the graphics video modes supported by the GMCH video controller for analog

monitors
