Introduction

The ADLINK’s cPCI-6810/6820 series Single Board Computer (SBC) and its

corresponding rear I/O transition module makes it a powerful and flexible

CompactPCI universal system/peripheral slot processor board based on the

Intel mobile Pentium-III/Tualatin CPU. This board is specially designed to add

system functional density to 6U CompactPCI platform for communication,

high-density servers and Telecom applications. It is also suitable for

high-density, high-reliability and high-availability embedded applications

where performance and a rich feature set are mandatory.

The cPCI-6820 series product complies with PICMG 2.0 Rev. 3.0

CompactPCI specifications for 6U, single-slot (4 TE/HP) form factor boards.

The cPCI-6820 board features dual low power Intel

933MHz Pentium

III

processors with 512KB L2 cache, while the cPCI-6810 is based on the same

architecture as the cPCI-6820 but features only a single low power Intel

933MHz Pentium

III processor.

The cPCI-6820 series SBC uses the ServerWorks chipset, which supports a

133MHz processor front side bus (FSB) and up to four 144-pin SO-DIMM

sockets of PC-133 Registered SDRAM,

The cPCI-6810/6820 also features an Intel

82546EB dual port gigabit

Ethernet (GbE) controller on the 66MHz 64bit PCI bus. The dual GbE

connections can be routed to the cPCI-R6820 RTM or to the PICMG 2.16

compliant backplane.

In addition to high computing performance and communication capacity, the

cPCI-6820 also supports Intelligent Platform Management IPMI v1.0 based on

PICMG 2.9 specifications for applications that require high reliability and

serviceability.
