Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

COMMELL's HE-860 / HE-860S SBC (Single Board Computer) is an all-in-one industrial half-size PISA (PCI/ISA)-bus / ISA-bus CPU card based on VIA Eden embedded low power platform. Based on PISA-bus interface, HE-860 offers the flexible expansibility with PCI or ISA expansive interfaces via the industrial backplane. With 1 GBytes per seconds of data transfer rate let HE-860 provide several times of bandwidth rather than NS Geode, Transmeta Crusoe, and Intel ULP Celeron based SBC. With VIA Eden platform, 512 MB PC-133 SDRAM, integrated 3D SVGA8MB VRAM, 10/100 Mbps LAN, UltraATA/100 IDE, AC97 3D Audio, SSD interfaces and ISA 64mA high drive capacity, the HE-860 provides the ideal embedded solutions for:

Advanced Embedded Computing Platform: advanced 686 level VIA Eden platform with 533 MHz of speed at 133 MHz of FSB, provides 1 GBytes/sec of data transfer rate. Based on x86 architecture and VIA's latest technology, HE-860 supports most of the x86-based OS and AP. That is, with HE-860, the embedded systems can be integrated and upgraded easily with the existent and popular x86-based software.

Ultra-Low Power / Fan Free Solution: based on the latest .13 of IC manufacturing procedure, the operating voltage range of VIA Eden ESP processor is from only 1.05 to 1.2 volts. The advanced thermal design makes HE-860 ideal for fan free embedded system designs as well as small size and lower profile form factors.

All-in-one Integrated Solution: HE-860 integrated with 3D SVGA, 10/100 Mbps LAN, AC97 3D Audio, UltraATA/100 IDE, DiskOnChip embedded solid state flash disk interfaces and ISA 64mA high drive capacity, provides the high integration solution for high-end embedded applications features high speed, high integration, low power, fan free, and full embedded systems with embedded OS in flash disk.

2.2 CPU Setting

The board is based on VIA embedded Eden platform features standard x86 architecture, high performance, low power consumption and supports VIA Eden / C3 CPU with onboard SMT.

With VIA’s high integrated PLE133T chipset and Eden embedded CPU, the board can easily update the old 486 or 586 level embedded x86 based systems like Intel mobile Pentium, Tillamook, and other RISC based systems like NS GX1 and Transmeta Crusoe. Based on the latest 0.13 micron of semi-conductor technology, the VIA Eden works at the ultra low voltage of 1.0 to 1.2 Volts of Vcore. It makes the VIA Eden platform be the ideal solution for embedded high performance applications.

The FSB, ratio and voltage of CPU is default set by onboard CPU and without any additional jumper selection.

2.3 CMOS Setting

The board’s data of CMOS can be setting in BIOS. If the board refuses to boot due to inappropriate CMOS settings, here is how to proceed to clear (reset) the CMOS to its default values.
