Chapter 1 Introduction General Description The Little Board P6d system is a high integration, high-performance Pentium-II based PC/ATcompatible system that conforms to the EBX V1.1 specification. This rugged and high quality single-board system contains all the component subsystems of a PC/AT PCI motherboard plus the equivalent of up to six expansion boards. The Little Board P6d system meets the size, power consumption, temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded system applications.
The board uses a single 3.3V DIMM memory module for main DRAM memory, and supports from 32MB to 256MB in a 64-bit or 72-bit (ECC) configuration. The module has a full complement of standard PCI PC/AT architectural features, including DMA channels, interrupt controllers, real-time clock, and timer counters.
Little Board P6d Module The CompactFlash disk is a solid-state or rotating media disk system that emulates an IDE drive. It uses standard CompactFlash disk media, similar to a PCMCIA memory card, but smaller. Insert the CompactFlash disk media in the on-board CompactFlash socket, and use it in much the same way you would use a removable-media hard drive. The CompactFlash drive is architecturally equivalent to an IDE drive in your system.
Flat Panel/CRT Display Controller A 69030 video display controller supports both flat panels and CRTs, and offers full software compatibility with all popular PC video standards (VGA, Super VGA, and VESA). All standard resolutions up to 1600x1200 pixels at 64K colors for CRTs and up to 1280x1024 pixels at 16.7M colors for flat panels are supported. 4MB of SDRAM are provided as standard video memory.
Little Board P6d Module Enhanced Reliability Reliability is especially important in embedded computer systems. Ampro, specializing in embedded system computers and peripherals, knows that embedded systems must be able to run reliably in rugged, hostile, and mission-critical environments without operator intervention. Over the years, Ampro has evolved system designs and a comprehensive testing program to ensure a reliable and stable system for harsh and demanding applications.
Little Board Development Platform And QuickStart Kit To help developers quickly assemble an embedded system, Ampro offers the Little Board Development Platform. It includes a power supply, 3-1/2 inch 1.44M floppy disk drive, IDE hard drive, CD ROM drive, speaker, I/O connectors, a backplane for ISA and PCI expansion cards, an I/O development board (described below), and mounting studs for the Little Board. The Development Platform provides a "known good" environment for your development work.
Little Board P6d Module The Little Board P6d Utility I/O Development Board provides connections for the speaker, keyboard, mouse, IrDA, TTL serial, front panel switches, misc. power management signals, external power supply connections, and so forth.

Little Board P6d Module Connector Summary Refer to Figure 2-2. Little Board P6d Connector and Jumper Locations for the locations of the connectors (J1 – J21) and configuration jumpers (W1 – W9). Table 2-1 summarizes the use of the I/O connectors. Each interface is described in its own section, showing connector pinouts, signal definitions, required mating connectors, and configuration jumper options. Many of the connectors have a key pin removed.
Most I/O connectors are shrouded dual-row male headers for use with flat ribbon (IDC) female connectors and ribbon cable. Note Ampro recommends using “center-bump polarized” connectors to prevent accidentally installing cables backwards. You can also design a PC board assembly, made with female connectors in the same relative positions as the Little Board’s connectors, to eliminate cables, meet packaging requirements, add EMI filtering, or customize your installation in other ways.

Jumper Summary Ampro installs option jumpers in default positions so that in most cases the Little Board P6d module requires no special jumpering for standard AT operation. You can connect the power and peripherals and operate it immediately. Jumper-pin arrays are designated W1, W2, and so forth. Jumper pins are spaced 2 mm apart. A square solder pad identifies pin 1 of each jumper array. Table 2-2 is a summary of jumper use. Factory settings are shown in the Default column.
Little Board P6d Module DC Power The power connector J10 is a 7-pin polarized connector. Refer to Table 2-3 for power connections and Table 2-4 for mating connector information. Caution To prevent damage to the Little Board P6d or its power connector, ensure the power plug is wired correctly before applying power to the module!! See Table 2-3. Table 2-3. Power Connector (J10) Pin # Signal Name Function 1, 7 +5VDC +5VDC ±5% input 2, 3, 6 Ground Ground return 4 +12VDC +12VDC ±5% input 5 +3.
If a PCI expansion card requiring 3.3V is installed, that voltage can be connected to J10-5 to supply power to J3, the PCI bus interface connector. Switching Power Supplies If you use a switching power supply, be sure it regulates properly with the load your system draws. Some switching power supplies do not regulate properly unless they are loaded to some minimum value.
Little Board P6d Module Fan Connector Figure 2-3 shows the connection between the fan and J21. The pinout of J21 is shown in Table 2-5. 5V CPU Fan J21 1 - 2 + TACH Figure 2-3. CPU Fan Connection (J21) Table 2-5. Fan Power Connector (J21) Pin # Function 1 Switched Ground 2 +5V Power 3 TACH Output System Memory The module supports a single 168-pin DIMM socket. The system supports both 64-bit SDRAM and 72-bit SDRAM. The 72-bit SDRAM is used to support ECC (Error Detection And Correction).

Little Board P6d Module DMA channel not already in use. For your convenience, Table 2-7 and Table 2-8 provide a summary of the normal interrupt and DMA channel assignments on the Little Board P6d module. The PCI bus uses four interrupts (INTA*, INTB*, INTC*, and INTD*). These interrupts are mapped to any of the available ISA interrupts by the BIOS. If an expansion card has multiple functions, then more interrupts may be required.

DMA Channel Assignments Channel Function 0 Available for 8-bit transfers 1 Available for 8-bit transfers 2 Floppy controller 3 Available for 8-bit transfers 4 Cascade for channels 0-3 5 Available for 16-bit transfers 6 Available for 16-bit transfers 7 Available for 16-bit transfers Battery-Backed Clock An AT-compatible battery-backed real-time clock (with CMOS RAM) is standard on the Little Board P6d module. A 3.0 volt Lithium battery soldered to the board powers the clock.
Little Board P6d Module I/O Addresses and Interrupt Assignments The serial ports appear at the standard port addresses as shown in Table 2-9. Each serial port can be independently disabled using the Setup function, freeing its I/O addresses for use by other devices installed on the PC/104 and PCI expansion buses. When a serial port is disabled, its I/O addresses and IRQ are available to other peripherals installed on the PC/104 expansion bus. You can disable any of the serial ports using Setup.

! 9600 baud ! No parity ! 8 bits ! One stop bit To use an ASCII terminal as the console device for your system, set the serial baud rate, parity, data length, and stop bits of the terminal to match the serial console settings. For proper display of Setup and POST messages from the BIOS, you must use an IEEE-compatible terminal or terminal emulation program that implements the standard ASCII cursor commands. The required commands and their hexadecimal codes are listed in Table 2-14.
Little Board P6d Module Using Arrow Keys During Setup During Setup, the serial console arrow keys and function keys must be simulated. To simulate the function keys, enter two keystrokes, an “F” followed by the function key number. Thus, function key F3 is simulated with the literal “F3” typed on the keyboard. (Don’t type the quotes). F10 is simulated with “F0”. Note The keystroke simulations are only valid during Setup, not during normal operation.

The ROM-BIOS scans I/O addresses for parallel ports in the following order: 3BCh, 378h, 278h. DMA Channels In ECP enhancement mode, the parallel port can send and receive data under control of an onboard DMA controller. On the Little Board P6d module, select a DMA channel in Setup. You can configure the parallel port to use either DMA channel 1 or DMA channel 3. If you will not be using DMA with the parallel port, leave it disabled.
Little Board P6d Module Table 2-20.
Latch-Up Protection The parallel port incorporates chip protection circuitry on some inputs, designed to minimize the possibility of CMOS “latch up” due to a printer or other peripheral being powered up while the Little Board P6d system is turned off. Parallel Port Registers The low-level software interface to the parallel port consists of eight addressable registers. The address map of these registers is shown in Table 2-21. Table 2-21.
Little Board P6d Module To change the port between input and output states, write a 1 to bit five of the control register to set the port to its input state; or a 0 to set it to its output state. Here is a code sample for dynamically changing the port direction (after it is in Extended Mode).
Table 2-22.
Little Board P6d Module SELIN* Printer select input This bit is inverted and output to the pin. It selects a printer. IRQE Interrupt request enable When set to 1, interrupts are enabled. An interrupt is generated by the positive-going -ACK input. PCD Parallel control direction When set to 1, port is in input mode. In printer mode, the printer is always in output mode regardless of the state of this bit.
If you don’t use the floppy interface, disable it in Setup. This frees the floppy’s I/O addresses, IRQ6, and DMA channel 2 for use by other peripherals installed on the PC/104 bus. Floppy Interface Connector (J14) Table 2-25 shows the pinout and signal definitions of the floppy disk interface connector, J14. This pinout does not meet the AT standard for floppy drive cables. An adapter board can be purchased from Ampro that will interface the 26-pin 2mm connector to a standard 3.5” floppy disk connector.
Little Board P6d Module Note For maximum reliability, keep IDE drive cables less than 18 inches long. Table 2-26.
IDE Interface Configuration Use Setup to specify your IDE hard disk drive types. See the Setup section beginning on page 2-48 for details. If you do not find a drive type whose displayed parameters match the drive you are using, use drive type USER. It allows you to manually enter the drive’s parameters. The drive manufacturer provides the drive parameters—check the drive’s documentation for the proper values to enter. If you are using a newer IDE drive, use drive type AUTO.
Little Board P6d Module Audio Interface The audio interface will be provided by a combination of the 4DWAVE-NX PCI DirectSound Accelerator, a Rev 2.1 compliant AC97 CODEC and a National LM4863 Audio Amplifier. It provides an advanced wavetable synthesizer, full legacy compatibility, multiple stereo capture channels, and is fully plug and play PCI compatible. Audio Amplifier The Amplifier is a dual bridge-connected audio power amplifier which will deliver 2.2W to a 4Ω load and 1.1W to an 8Ω load.

Speaker Connections The board supplies about 100 mW for a speaker on pin-7. Connect the other side of the speaker to ground (pin-8). A transistor amplifier buffers the speaker signal. Use a permanent magnet speaker with an 8 ohm voice coil.
Little Board P6d Module IrDA Interface The IrDA interface is described earlier in this chapter. TTL Serial Ports The TTL version of the serial ports 1,3, and 4 are brought out to the Utility connector. The TTL version of serial port 2 can be rerouted to the IrDA TX and RX lines. Miscellaneous Power Management Signals Table 2-42 describes miscellaneous Power Management signals. Table 2-42.
Most Ampro MiniModule products have stackthrough connectors compatible with the PC/104 specification. You can stack several modules on the Little Board P6d headers. Each additional module increases the thickness of the package by 0.66 inches (15 mm). Thus, a 3-module system fits within the outline of the Little Board and within a 2.4-inch vertical space. Figure 2-6 shows an example of how PC/104 modules stack on the Little Board P6d module. 4-40 screws 0.
