1.1 Introduction

The cPCI-6870 Series is a 6U CompactPCI single board computer
in single slot (4HP) width form factor featuring a low power, small
form factor mobile Intel® chipset and supporting 45nm process
Core™2 Duo and Celeron® processors. The cPCI-6870 provides
up to 8GB dual channel DDR3-800/1066 memory capacity and
implements the Mobile Intel® GS45 Graphics and Memory Con­troller Hub and ICH9M-SFF I/O Controller Hub to provide a full
feature set and optimal performance.

The cPCI-6870 Series supports a 64bit/66MHz CompactPCI bus,
two PMC sites with 64-bit/66MHz PCI bus or two PCI-Express x8
XMC sites, four PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet ports (two on front
panel, two for PICMG 2.16), a SAT A connector fo r an onboard 2.5”
SATA HDD, and CompactFlash socket support via the Rear Tran­sition Module (RTM). For flexibility of use, the cPCI-6870 Series
can be installed in a standard CompactPCI system slot as system
master, or peripheral slot as a PCI device. The cPCI-6870 Series
is ideally suited for factory automation, transportation and military
applications.

Notes:

1. ADLINK-certified th ermal design. The thermal performance is

dependent on the chassis cooling design. Forced airflow with

6 CFM is required to allow safe operation of the CPU at full

loading. Temperature limit of optional mass storage devices

may affect the thermal specification.

2. The hard drive limits the operational vibration tolerance. When

application requires higher specification for anti-vibration, it is

recommended to use a solid state drive (SSD) or Compact-

Flash card.

3. VGA is not supported on the front panel RJ-45 connector

(CN11) of models with ordering numbers ending in “xx30” and

higher. On these models, VGA is directly routed to the RTM

and the RJ-45 connector is a dedicated serial port.

Specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

2.3 Power Requirements

In order to guarantee a stable functionality of the system, it is rec­ommended to provide more power than the system requires. An

industrial power supply unit should be able to provide at least
twice as much power as the entire system requires of each
voltage. An ATX power supply unit should be able to provide at

least three times as much power as the entire system requires.
The tolerance of the voltage lines described in the CompactPCI

specification (PICMG 2.0 R3.0) is +5%/ -3% for 5, 3.3 V and ±5%
for ±12V. This specification is for power delivered to each slot an d
it includes both the power supply and the backplane tolerance.

Intel® ICH9M-SFF Mobile I/O Controller Hub

The ICH9M-SFF provides extensive I/O support. Functions and
capabilities include:

X ACPI Power Management Logic Support
X Integrated Serial ATA host controllers with independent

DMA operation on up to four ports and AHCI support.

Z Supports data transfer rates of up to 3.0 Gb/s (300

MB/s).

Z The SA T A controller con tains two modes of operation – a

legacy mode using I/O space, and an AHCI* mode using
memory space. Software that uses legacy mode will not
have AHCI* capabilities.

X Provides 6 PCI Express x1 ports, supporting the PCI

Express Base Specification, Revision 1.1. Each Root Port
supports 2.5GB/s bandwidth in each direction (5 GB/s con­current). The cPCI-6870 utilizes four PCI Express ports 3-6
for four Gigabit Ethernet controllers and configures the PCI
Express ports 1-2 to PCI-Express x2 for connecting PCI
Express to PCI bridge to support 64bit/66MHz CompactPCI
bus..

AHCI is a new programming interface for SATA host controllers. Plat­forms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features
such as no master/slave designation for SATA devices—each device
is treated as a master—and hardware-assisted native command
queuing. AHCI also provides usability enhancements such as
Hot-Plug. AHCI requires appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI
driver) and for some features, hardware support in the SATA device or
additional platform hardware.

Functional Description 19

3.3 Super I/O

The ITE IT8783F Super I/O is on a Low Pin Count interface sup­porting PS/2 keyboard/mouse, three 16C550-compatible serial
ports, floppy drive interface, hardware monitor function to monitor
CPU voltage, CPU temperature, power supply voltages and system
temperature, and Watch Dog Timer with time resolution from mini­mum 1 second or minute to maximum 65,535 seconds or minutes.

3.4 Battery

The cPCI-6870 is provided with a 3.0V coin cell lithium battery for
the Real Time Clock (RTC). The lithium battery must be replaced
with an identical battery or a battery type recommended by the
manufacturer. A Rayovac BR2032 is equipped on board by
default.

3.5 PMC/XMC Sites

The cPCI-6870 series supports two PMC sites for front panel I/O
expansion. The PMC sites provides a maximum 64bit/133MHz
PCI bus link using a Pericom PI7C9X130 PCI-Express-to-PCI
bridge and PCI-Express x4 link. The PMC site supports +3.3V or
+5V signaling.

The JN1/4 and JN2/5 connectors provide the signals for the 32-bit
PCI bus. The JN3/6 connector provides the 64 bit extension for the
PMC interface. The JN7 connector in PMC/XMC 2 supports user
defined I/O signals and is routed to the CompactPCI J4 connector
to rear I/O.

The cPCI-6870 provides two PCIe x8 XMC interfaces sharing
the same space as the PMC sites for high speed I/O e xpansion
such as 10GbE or high-end graphics.

The cPCI-6870 may be installed in a system or peripheral slot of a
6U CompactPCI chassis. These instructions are for reference
only. Refer to the user guide that comes with the chassis for more
information.

1. Be sure to select the correct slot depending on the oper-

ational purpose of the module. The system power may
now be powered on or off.

2. Remove the blank face cover from the selected slot, if

necessary.

3. Press down on the release catches of the cPCI-6870

ejector handles.

4. Remove the black plastic caps securing the mount-

ing screws to the front panel.

5. Align the module’s top and bottom edges to the chassis

card guides, and then carefully slide the module into the
chassis. A slight resistance may be felt when inserting
the module. If the resistance it too strong, check if there
are bent pins on the backplane or if the board’s connec­tor pins are not properly aligned with connectors on the
backplane. Then push the board until it is completely
flush with the chassis.

6. Push the ejector handles outwards to secure the module

in place, and then fasten the screws on the module front
panel.

7. Connect the cables and peripherals to the board, and

then turn the chassis on if necessary.

5.5 Installing the RTM to the Chassis

The installation and removal procedures for a RTM are the same
as those for CompactPCI boards. Because they are shorter than
front boards, pay careful attention when inserting or removing
RTMs.

Refer to previous sections for peripheral connectivity of all I/O
ports on the RTM. When installing the cPCI-6870 Series and
related RTMs, make sure the RTM is the correct matching model.

You must install the correct RTM to enable functions (I/O inter­faces) on the rear panel. Installation of non-compatible RTMs

CAUTION:

may damage the system board and/or other RTMs.

7 Utilities

7.1 Watchdog Timer

This section describes the operation of the cPCI-6870’s watchdog
timer (WDT). The primary function of the WDT is to monitor the
cPCI-6870's operation and to reset the system if a software appli­cation fails to function as prog rammed. The following WDT func­tions may be controlled using a software application:

X enabling and disabling
X reloading timeout value

The cPCI-6870 custom WDT circuit is implemented using the
internal IO of the ITE Super I/O IT8783 which is at address 2Eh of
LPC. The basic functions of the WDT include:

X Starting the timer countdown
X Enabling or disabling WDT
X Enabling or disabling WDT countdown LED ON
X Reloading the timeout value to keep the watchdog from timing

out

X Setting the range of the timeout period from 1 to 65535 seconds

or minutes

X Sending a RESET signal to the system when the watchdog

times out

cPCI-6870

Using the Watchdog in an Application

The following section describes using the WDT functions in an
application. The WDT reset function is explained in the previous
section. This can be controlled through the registers in the
cPCI-6870's Super I/O.

An application using the reset fe ature enab les the watch dog func ­tion, sets the count-down period, and reloads the timeout value
periodically to keep it from resetting the system. If the timer count­down value is not reloaded, the watchdog resets the system hard­ware after its counter reaches zero.
