ECB-862/862L 2.3 Architecture Overview The following block diagram shows the architecture and main components of ECB-862. The two key components on board are the VIA VT8602 North Bridge and VT82C686B super South Bridge. These two devices provide the ISA and PCI bus to which all the major components are attached. The following sections provide detail information about the functions provided onboard.
User’s Manual 2.3.1 VIA VT8602 North Bridge The Apollo PLE133T Graphics Controller is a highly integrated display control device that incorporates a 64-bit 3D/2D graphic engine and video accelerator with advanced DVD video and optional TV output capability. It provides a flexible and high performance solution for graphics and video playback acceleration for various color depth and resolution modes.

User’s Manual BIOS shadow at 16KB increment Decoupled and burst DRAM refresh with staggered RAS timing CAS before RAS or self refresh 2.3.3 VIA VT82C686B South Bridge The VT82C686B PSIPC (PCI Super-I/O Integrated Peripheral Controller) is a high integration, high performance, power-efficient, and high compatibility device that supports Intel and non-Intel based processor to PCI bus bridge functionality to make a complete Microsoft PC99-compliant PCI/ISA system.
ECB-862/862L Integrated PCI-mastering dual full-duplex direct-sound AC97-link-compatible sound system. Hardware soundblaster-pro and hardware-assisted FM blocks are included for Windows DOS box and real-mode DOS compatibility. Loopback capability is also implemented for directing mixed audio streams into USB and 1394 speakers for high quality digital audio.
User’s Manual Supports L1/L2 write-back merged with PCI master post-write to minimize DRAM utilization Delay transaction from PCI master reading DRAM Read caching for PCI master reading DRAM Transaction timer for fair arbitration between PCI masters (granularity of two PCI clocks) Symmetric arbitration between Host/PCI bus for optimized system performance Complete steerable PCI interrupts PCI-2.2 compliant, 32 bit 3.3V PCI interface with 5V tolerant inputs 2.3.
ECB-862/862L 2.3.8 2.3.8.1 Ethernet Realtek RTL8100B Ethernet Controller The Realtek RTL8100B is one of the Realtek RTL8139A/B/C/8130 family, the highly integrated and cost-effective single-chip Fast Ethernet controller that provides 32-bit performance, PCI bus master capability, and full compliance with IEEE 802.3u 100Base-T specifications and IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex Flow Control.
User’s Manual 2.3.10 Compact Flash Interface A Compact Flash type II connector is connected to the secondary IDE controller. The Compact Flash storage card is IDE compatible. It is an ideal replacement for standard IDE hard drives. The solid-state design offers no seek errors even under extreme shock and vibration conditions. The Compact Flash storage card is extremely small and highly suitable for rugged environments, thus providing an excellent solution for mobile applications with space limitations.
ECB-862/862L 3. Hardware Configuration This chapter explains you the instructions of how to set up your system. The additional information shows you how to install M-Systems’ DiskOnChip and program the Watchdog Timer. 3.1 Installation Procedure 1. Turn off the power supply. 2. Insert the DIMM module (be careful with the orientation). 3. Insert all external cables for hard disk, floppy, keyboard, mouse, USB etc. except for flat panel.
User’s Manual 3.3 Socket 370 Processor 3.3.1 Installing Pentium III / Celeron CPU Lift the handling lever of CPU socket outwards and upwards to the other end. Align the processor pins with pin holes on the socket. Make sure that the notched corner or dot mark (pin 1) of the CPU corresponds to the socket’s bevel end. Then press the CPU gently until it fits into place. If this operation is not easy or smooth, don’t do it forcibly. You need to check and rebuild the CPU pin uniformly.
ECB-862/862L 3.5 M-Systems’ DiskOnChip Flash Disk ECB-862 reserves a 32-pin DIP socket to support M-Systems’ DiskOnChip flash disk up to 1 GB. The DiskOnChip is based on pure ISA bus and without PnP (Plug and Play) function. Before the installation, make sure that the DiskOnChip I/O address jumper is set properly to prevent the I/O resource conflict. 3.5.1 Installing DOC Align the DOC with the pinholes on the socket.
User’s Manual 3.6.1 Drivers Support ECB-862 provides on CD-Title to support on-board VGA and Ethernet device drivers in various operating systems. Before installing the device drivers, please see the reference files in each sub-directory. You cannot install drivers from CD-Title directly.

User’s Manual 3.7.2 Jumper & Connector List Connectors on the board are linked to external devices such as hard disk drives, keyboard, mouse, or floppy drives. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your system to suit your application. The following tables list the function of each of the board's jumpers and connectors. Jumpers Label Function CN10 External speaker select 4 x 1 header, pitch 2.

User’s Manual 3.8 Setting Jumpers You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3.
ECB-862/862L 3.8.1 External Speaker Select (CN10) CN10 is a 4-pin connector for an external speaker. If there is no external speaker, the ECB-862 provides an onboard buzzer as an alternative. To enable the buzzer, set pin 3-4 as closed. External Speaker Select (CN10) External speaker CN10 Onboard buzzer* 4 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 * default 3.8.2 COM2 RS-232/422/485 Select (J2, J1) The ECB-862 series COM2 serial port can be selected as RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 by setting J2 & J1.
User’s Manual 3.8.3 Clear CMOS (J3) You can use J3 to clear the CMOS data if necessary. To reset the CMOS data, set J3 to 23 closed for just a few seconds, and then remove the jumper back to 1-2 closed.

User’s Manual 3.9.5 Signal Description – Primary & Secondary IDE Connector (CN1, CN5) PDA [2:0] Primary Disk Address [2:0]. These signals indicate which byte in either the ATA command block or control block is being addressed. If the IDE signals are configured for Primary and Secondary, these signals are connected to the corresponding signals on the Primary IDE connector. If the IDE signals are configured for Primary 0 and Primary 1, these signals are used for the Primary 0 connector.
ECB-862/862L PDIOR# Primary Disk IO Read. In normal IDE this is the command to the IDE device that it may drive data onto the PDD [15:0] lines. Data is latched by PIIX4 on the negation edge of PDIOR#. The IDE device is selected either by the ATA register file chip selects (PDCS1#, PDCS3#) and the PDA [2:0] lines, or the IDE DMA slave arbitration signals (PDDACK#). In an Ultra DMA/33 read cycle, this signal is used as DMARDY# which is negated by the PIIX4 to pause Ultra DMA/33 transfers.
User’s Manual PDIORDY Primary IO Channel Ready. In normal IDE mode, this input signal is directly driven by the corresponding IDE device IORDY signal. In an Ultra DMA/33 read cycle, this signal is used as STROBE, with the PIIX4 latching data on rising and falling edges of STROBE. In an Ultra DMA/33 write cycle, this signal is used as the DMARDY# signal which is negated by the drive to pause Ultra DMA/33 transfers.
ECB-862/862L SDDACK# Secondary DMA Acknowledge. This signal directly drives the IDE device DMACK# signal. It is asserted by PIIX4 to indicate to IDE DMA slave devices that a given data transfer cycle (assertion of SDIOR# or SDIOW#) is a DMA data transfer cycle. This signal is used in conjunction with the PCI bus master IDE function. It is not associated with any AT compatible DMA channel.
