0.7 STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS

Before removing the board from its anti-static bag, read this section about static electricity precautions.

Static electricity is a constant danger to computer systems. The charge that can build up in your body may be

more than sufficient to damage integrated circuits on any PC board. It is, therefore, important to observe basic

precautions whenever you use or handle computer components. Although areas with humid climates are much

less prone to static build-up, it is always best to safeguard against accidents may result in expensive repairs. The

following measures should generally be sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge:

• Touch a grounded metal object to discharge the static electricity in your body (or ideally, wear a grounded

wrist strap).

• When unpacking and handling the board or other system component, place all materials on an antic static

surface.

• Be careful not to touch the components on the board, especially the “golden finger” connectors on the bottom

of every board.

1. OVERVIEW

This chapter provides an overview of your system features and capabilities. The following topics are covered:

! Introduction

! Packing List

! Features

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The AR-B1579 makes 300MHz, industrial computing a reality. Developed for small size and high speeding

systems, this half-size ISA card is excellent for embedded applications due to its standalone.

Great speeds are attained through the PCI-driven IDE controllers. By providing a PCI interface to these two

controllers, the AR-B1579 offers an exciting option for engineers involved in high performance projects. Also, one

BIOS is available to interface peripherals quickly and easily. The system comes with 4MB V-RAM onboard, 512KB

synchronous pipe-line burst SRAM, one RS-232C and one RS-232C/RS-485 serial port, and two 72-pin SIMM

connectors which can support up to 128MB of DRAM.

The AR-B1579 is perfect for medical and telecommunications applications, factory floor networks, use as a MMIs

for high speeding processes, or a controller for graphics intensive systems.

1.2 PACKING LIST

The accessories are included with the system. Before you begin installing your AR-B1579 board, take a moment

to make sure that the following items have been included inside the AR-B1579 package.

2. SYSTEM CONTROLLER

This chapter describes the major structures of the AR-B1579 CPU board. The following topics are covered:

! DMA Controller

! Keyboard Controller

! Interrupt Controller

! Serial Port

! Parallel Port

2.1 DMA CONTROLLER

The equivalent of two 8237A DMA controllers are implemented in the AR-B1579 board. Each controller is the four-

channel DMA device that will generate the memory addresses and control signals necessary to transfer

information directly between a peripheral device and memory. This allows high speeding information transfer with less

CPU intervention. The two DMA controllers are internally cascaded to provide four DMA channels for transfers to

8-bit peripherals (DMA1) and three channels for transfers to 16-bit peripherals (DMA2). DMA2 channel 0 provides

the cascade interconnection between the two DMA devices, thereby maintaining IBM PC/AT compatibility.

The following is the system information of DMA channels:

DMA Controller 1 DMA Controller 2

Channel 0: Spare Channel 4: Cascade for controller 1

Channel 1: IBM SDLC Channel 5: Spare

Channel 2: Diskette adapter Channel 6: Spare

Channel 3: Spare Channel 7: Spare

Table 2-1 DMA Channel Controller

2.2 KEYBOARD CONTROLLER

The 8042 processor is programmed to support the keyboard serial interface. The keyboard controller receives

serial data from the keyboard, checks its parity, translates scan codes, and presents it to the system as a byte data

in its output buffer. The controller can interrupt the system when data is placed in its output buffer, or wait for the

system to poll its status register to determine when data is available.

Data can be written to the keyboard by writing data to the output buffer of the keyboard controller.

Each byte of data is sent to the keyboard controller in series with an odd parity bit automatically inserted. The

keyboard controller is required to acknowledge all data transmissions. Therefore, another byte of data will not be

sent to keyboard controller until acknowledgment is received for the previous byte sent. The “output buffer full”

interruption may be used for both send and receive routines.

AR-B1579 User’s Guide

2.3 INTERRUPT CONTROLLER

The equivalent of two 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controllers (PIC) are included on the AR-B1579 board. They

accept requests from peripherals, resolve priorities on pending interrupts in service, issue interrupt requests to the

CPU, and provide vectors which are used as acceptance indices by the CPU to determine which interrupt service

routine to execute.

The following is the system information of interrupt levels:

IRQ8 : Real time clock

IRQ9 : Rerouting to INT 0Ah from hardware IRQ

IRQ10 : spare

IRQ11 : spare

IRQ12 : spare (PS/2 mouse)

IRQ13 : Math. coprocessor

IRQ14 : Hard disk adapter

IRQ15 : Reserved for watchdog
