PC/104

CPU

The CHIP4e+ incorporates an AMD® 5x86 processor with a CPU clock that runs quadrupled at 133 MHz with a 33 MHz external bus. The unified 16 Kbyte writeback cache technology minimizes the time the CPU core spends waiting for data or instructions, accelerating business and multimedia applications.

PCI Bus Interface

The FinALI chipset integrates a high-performance CPU-to-PCI interface capable of accelerated data transfers. The interface allows 32-bit master and slave PCI devices.

SVGA Graphics Controller

The PCI bus SVGA graphics controller supports CRTs and flat-panel displays with 1 Mbyte video DRAM. It supports resolutions of 640x480 with 16M colors; 800x600 with 64K colors; and 1024x768 with 256 colors.

Fast IDE controller

The high-speed local bus IDE controller supports programmed I/O (PIO) modes 0-4. It also provides 4x32-bit read-ahead buffer and 4x32-bit write-post buffer support to enhance IDE performance.

Caution

The IDE controller supports enhanced PIO modes, which reduce the cycle times for 16-bit data transfers to the hard drive. Check with your drive manual to see if the drive you are using supports these modes. The higher the PIO mode, the shorter the cycle time. As the IDE cable length increases, this reduced cycle time can lead to erratic operation. As a result, it is in your best interest to keep the IDE cable as short as possible.

Select the PIO modes in the BIOS setup (refer to Chapter 3). The autoconfigure classifies the drive connected if the drive supports the auto ID command. If you experience problems, change the PIO to standard.

Ethernet Controller

The CHIP4e+ contains a state-of-the-art 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet controller with a 32-bit PCI bus-mastering interface to support 100-Mbits per second bus transfers. The controller serves as both a PCI master and slave. The Ethernet connector (ETHER1) provides auto-sensing for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX connections.

CHIP4e+ Manual

On-board Memory

DRAM

The CHIP4e+ has one 72-pin SIMM memory site, providing up to 64 Mbytes of DRAM. Populate the memory site with standard fast page mode memory or extended data out memory (EDO). EDO memory improves DRAM read performance.

Flash BIOS

The CHIP4e+ board provides a Flash BIOS location for system and video ROM. Table 0-1 describes the Flash memory map.

Device Address Software System Address

60000-7FFFFh System BIOS E0000-FFFFFh (also FFFE000010000-5FFFFh Undefined

00000-0FFFFh Video BIOS C0000-CFFFFh

Table 0-1. Flash Memory Map

FFFFFFFFh)

Non-Volatile SRAM or DOC2000 (optional)

Socket U25 is a 32-pin ROM site that provides an option for installing non-volatile SRAM or DiskonChip 2000 modules. You must specify which option you are installing on the BIOS Setup Advanced menu (refer to Chapter 3 for more information on the BIOS Setup menus).

Note

You may only install SRAM or DOC2000 in socket U25; you cannot install both.

Non-volatile SRAM contains a built-in battery and battery backup circuitry. Battery life is approximately seven years in the absence of VCC. Socket U25 supports 32Kx8 and 128Kx8 memory sizes. BIOS defines the location of SRAM as CC000.

DiskOnChip 2000 (DOC2000) is a Flash memory module. It contains an expansion BIOS that allows Flash memory to emulate a disk drive when the corresponding option is enabled in the BIOS Setup Advanced menu. If the system already incorporates a C: drive (IDE), DOC2000 becomes the D: drive. When installed, the DOC2000 module occupies memory address CC000-CFFFFh.

Serial and Parallel Ports

PC/AT peripherals include two high-speed, RS-232C, 16550-compatible serial ports and one bi-directional Centronics-compatible parallel port.

UART1 (COM1) accepts an RS-232 or a RS-485 connection (you can only use one connection at a time). UART2 (COM2) can be used for one of the following three options:

• RS-232 out the 25-pin DB connector

• Touch screen controller interface

• Infrared (IR) interface

Use the BIOS setup menus to configure the port as a serial or infrared port. You can use this port as both a serial and IR interface by allowing software to control the connection.

You cannot use UART2 as a serial and IR port at the same time.

If the touch screen controller is jumpered to use UART2 as a serial device, the 25pin DB connector cannot be used to interface to a device. These lines are combined internally.

Note

The BIOS setup menus for UART2 must be set to standard operation to use the touch screen controller on UART2.

Keyboard Ports

The keyboard port is routed to two separate connectors. One is a PS/2 connector, allowing the keyboard to be routed out the side of the unit; the other connector allows the keyboard to be routed to the front of the unit.

A polyswitch protects the +5 V on the keyboard port. This device opens if the +5 V is shorted to GND. Once you remove the shorting condition, the polyswitch allows current flow to resume.

Note

You can only use one keyboard port at a time.

CHIP4e+ Manual

Mouse Port

The CHIP4e+ supports two mouse ports. The external mouse port is routed to the PS/2 mouse connector; the internal mouse port is routed to the touch screen controller. If touch screen drivers are loaded, the external mouse port is disabled. Both the external port and the touch screen controller may be plugged in at the same time. However, the driver loaded may impair the operation of one of the ports. If the Microtouch mouse drivers are loaded, the external mouse port will use these drivers.

Note

When using the Xycom touchscreen controller (PIN 140554), the

CHIP4e+ will behave the same. If using a PS/2 mouse is desired, install

the Touch-Base touch driver in serial mode. In serial mode, the

controller will use a COM port and free the PS/2 mouse port. Please

follow the installation instructions on the Xycom documentation.

A polyswitch protects the +5 V on the mouse port. This device opens if the +5 V is shorted to GND. Once you remove the shorting condition, the polyswitch allows current flow to resume.

IR Interface

The IR interface, which uses UART2, is a half-duplex serial port capable of 115 Kbaud transfer rates. It also supports two transfer formats: IrDA and ASKIR. You must load software to support communication between two devices.

Flat-panel Interfaces

The CHIP4e+ incorporates two flat-panel connectors. The STN connector interfaces directly to STN flat panels. It provides a substrate voltage (VEE) of 34 volts, contrast control, and frame rate modulation to allow 4096 colors to be displayed. The TFT connector interfaces directly to TFT flat panels.

The flat-panel type is jumper selectable. Refer to Chapter 2 for jumper settings.

Floppy and Hard Drives

The CHIP4e+ can interface to a floppy drive via the external floppy connector. To connect a floppy drive to the external connector after power up, you must specify the floppy drive as a 1.44 Mbyte drive, and disable the floppy check option in the BIOS setup menus. If this is not done, the system will generate a floppy drive error during the Power On Self Test (POST).

The PCI-to-IDE interface supports one hard drive via the on-board IDE controller.

Caution

The total IDE cable length must not exceed 18 inches.

Keypad Interface

The CHIP4e+ provides a keypad interface. A connector supports up to a 10x8 scan matrix, which is combined with the keyboard bit stream by the keyboard controller.

Expansion Options

The CHIP4e+ provides a location to stack up to two PC/104 cards (refer to the PC/104 Connector section in Chapter 2).

Note

For TXD termination, a 150Ω, ½-watt resistor must be connected from pin 3B to pin 4B, with pin 1B connected to pin 3B and pin 2B connected to pin 4B.

For RXD termination, a 150Ω, ½-watt resistor must be connected from pin 8B to pin 9B with pin 6B connected to pin 9B and pin 7B connected to pin 8B.

COM2 Connector (PARCOM2)

This 25-pin DB connector sits on top of the parallel port. You can use it for three separate devices, but you can connect only one at a time: the touch screen controller, infrared (IR) interface, or RS-232 connector. The BIOS setup determines whether COM2 is used for the RS-232 connector or the IR interface. Jumpers on the touch screen controller select the COM2 or mouse ports. If a touch screen controller is jumpered for COM2, COM2 is unavailable.

In the table below, the B following the pin number indicates COM2, the upper RS232 port.

Pin Signal Pin Signal

This connector also contains the remote system reset option. A normally open push button switch can be connected to pins 11B and 7B. When the switch is pressed the PB_RESET* signal is forced to GND, which causes the CPU to reset. You must set jumper J1 to position B to enable this option.
