|
Features
- Intel® Pentium® M Processor:
- Single-slot VMEbus operation with an on-board compactFlash disk for bootable mass storage
- 855GME and 6300ESB Chipset
- -40°/+85°C operation with 1.4 GHz Pentium M
|
| The RPM is a rugged conduction-cooled
VMEbus (and VME64) compatible platform based on the Intel®
low-power Pentium® M (Dothan) processor. The RPM takes
advantage of the Pentium M's low-power consumption as
a rugged Single Board Computer (SBC) and it is an IEEE
1101.2-compliant, conduction-cooled VMEbus module with
wedge locks and a full-board heat sink for high shock/vibration
environments and temperature extremes.
The RPM is the same board design as the convection-cooled
DPM . The DPM typically uses front panel I/O routing but
can be provided with identical I/O routing as the RPM
for application development in a standard VMEbus chassis.
The 855GME Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and
6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ICH) chipset supports
PCI-X expansion, integrated VGA/DVO interface, USB 2.0,
ATA/100, and Serial ATA (SATA). Two USB 2.0 ports, a COM
port and IDE are all accessible from the rear P2 connector.
SVGA and Digital Vido Output (DVO), dual 10/100/1000BaseT
(VITA 31.1 compatible), dual SATA, and LPC bus are routed
to the optional P0 connector. On-board CompactFlash permits
single-slot booting. One PMC-X site is provided for additional
I/O expansion.
The RPM meets an operating temperature range of -40°/85°
C with it's standard 1.4 GHz Pentium M processor.
The RPM was design for compliance with MIL-Std-810F.
Options include conformal coating. |

- Pentium M
- The Intel® Pentium® M processor was designed from
the ground up with a new microarchitecture that delivers high
performance with low power consumption. With its 90 nm processing
technology and 2 MB of L2 advanced transfer cache, the Pentium
M offers more performance per Watt. Second-generation Streaming
SIMD Extensions (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2) capability adds
144 new instructions, including 128-bit SIMD integer arithmetic
and 128-bit SIMD double-precision floating-point operation.
The Pentium. The Pentium M also offers a dedicated hardware
stack manager that employs sophisticated hardware control
for improved stack management, advanced branch prediction
capability, and a 400 MHz front side bus to the memory controller
hub.
- Chipset and 6300ESB ICH C
- The Intel® 855GME Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
and Intel® 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ICH) chipset create
an optimized integrated graphics solution with a 400 MHz system
bus and integrated 32-bit 3D core at 133 MHz.
- 855GME
- DRAM Controller
The 855GME (GMCH) provides a 266 MHz interface to DDR RAM
(72 bits wide with ECC). The RPM can be populated with one
or two banks of DRAM for 512 MB or 1 GB of total memory respectively.
The GMCH system memory architecture is optimized to maintain
open pages (up to 16-kB page size) across multiple rows. As
a result, up to 16 pages across four rows is supported. To
complement this, the GMCH will tend to keep pages open within
rows, or will only close a single bank on a page miss.
- Graphics Processor
- The 855GME also has an advanced integrated graphical display
controller. The RPM routes the DVO and analog graphics to
P2
- 6300ESB
- The 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ICH) provides most of the
RPM's on-board I/O and it's the RPM's PCI-X expansion bridge.
The ICH is designed as a low-power, high-performance I/O hub
that features:
· 64-bit @ 66 MHz PCI-X expansion that is used on the
RPM for the on-board PMC-X slot, the three Ethernet ports
available on the RPM, and for the Universe IID PCI/VMEbus
bridge
· Two USB 2.0 compliant ports routed to the P2 connector
to the backplane
· Integrated IDE controller supports Ultra 100 DMA
Mode Transfers up to 100 MB/sec read cycles and 88.88 MB/sec
write cycles for a CompactFlash drive on-board and a primary
IDE port that is routed through P2 to the RPMPTB
· Two Serial ATA ports providing 150 MB/sec data rates
are routed through P0
· Standard PC functionality like a battery-backed RTC
and 256-bytes of CMOS RAM, Power Management Logic, Interrupt
Controller, Watchdog Timer, AC'97 CODEC, Integrated 16550
compatible UART's, and multimedia timers based on the 82C54
- Intel 82546EB Dual Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- The DHC supports two 10/100/1000BaseTX channels that are
routed to the P0 connector in compliance with the Vita 31.1
Specification for backplane fabric switching. The Intel 82546EB
Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller incorporates two full
Gigabit Ethernet MAC and PHY layer functions on a single,
compact component. Routed from the ICH, the front side data
path to the dual Ethernet port controller is 64 bits at 66
MHz. The Intel 82546EB offers the following features: 10,
100, and 1000BaseTX support with auto-negotiation; Dual 64KB
configurable RX and TX packet FIFOs; 128-bit internal data
path architecture for low latency data handling and superior
DMA transfer rate performance; Built-in Phyceiver.
- Tundra Universe IID CA91C142D PCI-VMEbus Interface
- The PCI-VMEbus interface, based on the Tundra Universe
IID CA91C142D, offers the following features:
· High-performance 64-bit VMEbus interface
· Integral FIFOs for write-posting allow the Universe
IID to quickly relinquish the bus
· Programmable DMA controller with linked list support
· Full VMEbus system controller functionality
· Complete VMEbus address and data transfer modes:
