Revision 1.0., January 2006
1.1INTRODUCTION
The CompactPCI-824 is a Hot Swap Intelligent I/O Controller.
The CPCI-824 card is based on the AMCC™ PowerPC™ 440GX, which is AMCC’s next generation
integrated processor based on the PowerPCI 440 core operating at a frequency of 667 MHz. The 440GX
supplies memory controller functions with up to 512 Mbytes of DDR SDRAM (64-bit with ECC) on an
SoDIMM module at 333 MHz DDR. The PowerPC core with 256K L2 cache, the memory controller,
the PCI-X Bridge, and the DMA controller of AMCC 440GX are among the features on the Processor
local bus operating at 128-bit and a frequency of 166 MHz. The 440GX Peripheral Bus (EPC) has three
devices; 8 Mbytes of Flash ROM, software LEDs, and external revision control registers. Additionally,
the 440GX contains four Ethernet MACs. Four Ethernet ports are provided on the CPCI-824. Two are
10/100/1Gb ports configured as RGMII and two are 10/100 Mbps ports and reconfigured as SMII. The
CPCI-824 also utilized one of the I2C bus interface units, and one of the two UART units. A block
diagram of the CPCI-824 is shown on Figure 1-1.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.2FEATURES
•PowerPC™ ProcessorAn AMCC 440GX embedded processor based on the AMCC
PowerPC superscalar core. It operates at a maximum frequency of
667 MHz internally.
•SD RAMUp to 512 MByte of 333 MHz DDR SDRAM is supported via a 200
pin SoDIMM module.
•Flash ROM8 Mbytes of in-circuit sector-programmable Flash ROM provides
non-volatile storage on the CPCI-824. One 128 Kbyte sector of the
Flash ROM is reserved for the storage of non-volatile boot and
system parameters. System calls for storing parameters in this
memory are included in the Breeze Development Environmentª
•Con sole Serial PortAn asynchronous serial port based on a 16C750 UART with an RS232 interface is provided for a console terminal or workstation
connection.
•Ethernet PortsTwo 10/100/1Gb Base-TX Ethernet ports are provided. Each port
supports up to 1Gbps and uses a RJ45 style modular phone jack. The
MAC contained within the 440GX interfaces with 2 Broadcom
BMC5461S PHY transceivers.
Two 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet ports. Each supports u p to 1 00 Mbps
and also uses a RJ45 style modular phone jack. In this case the MAC
contained within the 440GX interfaces with a Broadcom BCM5248.
The BCM5248 is an eight port PHY, but we are only using the first 2
ports.
•Temperature SensorsTwo LM75 type programmable temperature sensors with interrupt
signaling capability are provided for system monitoring purposes.
•I
O MessagingThe CPCI-824 supports the I2O specification for interprocessor
2
communication.
•DMA ControllerThe 440GX supports 4 separate DMA channels for high throu ghput
data transfers between PCI bus agents and the local SDRAM
memory.
•Breeze Development
Environment™
Flash-resident ROM monitor / firmware package which supports
board-level initialization and application software development.
More information on the Breeze Development Environment™ can
be found in Breeze Developer’s Manual.
•Blade Style InterfaceThe CPCI-824 receives power, fan detect, power supply status and
geographic addressing from J1 and J2. Note that the fan detect and
power supply status signals are only available when a CPCI-824 is
installed in the system slot.
•Hot SwapThe CPCI-824 is a Basic Hot Swap board, compliant with PICMG
2.1.
