Introduction

General Description

The Little BoardP6d system is a high integration, high-performance Pentium-II based PC/AT-

compatible 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.

Key functions on the Little Board P6d module include:

–High-speed Pentium-II CPU

–64-bit wide 3.3V SDRAM - up to 256MB

–256KB Internal secondary cache

–Embedded-PC BIOS in Flash EPROM

–Four buffered serial ports (with RS232,

RS485, TTL options)

–Two universal serial bus (USB) ports

–Infrared (IrDA) port

–Multi-mode IEEE-1284 parallel port

–Floppy controller

–Dual PCI-bus EIDE/UltraDMA drive

controllers

–Flat panel/CRT display controller

–Sound BlasterAudio

–Ethernet 100BaseT LAN interface,

–CompactFlash solid-state IDE drive

support

–Standard PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse and

speaker interfaces

In addition, Ampro has made many improvements to the architecture and firmware of the

traditional desktop PC to optimize it for embedded applications. Among the many embedded-PC

enhancements that ensure fail-safe embedded system operation and application versatility are a

watchdog timer, a powerfail NMI generator, serial console support, serial boot loader, non-battery

boot, failsafe boot, accelerated boot, on-board high-density CompactFlash disk, and BIOS extensions

for OEM boot customization.

System operation requires a single +5 Volt power source (and 3.3 Volts for low-voltage PCI

expansion cards, if required) and offers "green PC" power-saving modes under support of Advanced

Power Management (APM) BIOS functions.

Product Feature Summary

CPU/Motherboard

The Little Board P6d module has a fully compatible PC architecture, with a Pentium-II low-voltage

CPU.

For improved reliability in harsh thermal environments, the board implements a CPU thermal

sensor and configurable thermal-management control logic in the BIOS.

1-2

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.

Enhanced Embedded-PC BIOS

One of the most valuable features of the Little Board P6d module is its enhanced embedded-PC

BIOS, which includes an extensive set of functions that meet the unique requirements of embedded-

system applications. These enhancements include:

!CompactFlash support. You can use a solid-state CompactFlash memory module in place of a

rotating media drive (see CompactFlash Disk, below).

!Watchdog timer. The WDT monitors the boot process and can be integrated into application

programs using function calls provided in the BIOS.

!Fast boot operation. Normal or accelerated POST.

!Fail-safe boot support. Intelligently retries boot devices (configured in the BIOS) until a

successful boot.

!Battery-free boot support. Saves system Setup information in non-volatile EEPROM. The

board can use this information should the RTC battery fail.

!Serial console option. Let's you use a serial device, such as an ASCII serial terminal, as console.

!Serial loader option. Supports loading boot code from an external serial source.

!EEPROM access function. 256 bits of serial EEPROM storage are available to the user, useful

for serialization, copy protection, security, etc.

!OEM customization hooks. The module can execute custom code prior to system boot via ROM

extensions; allows sophisticated system customization without BIOS modification.

Modular PC/104-Plus Expansion Bus

The Little Board P6d module provides a PC/104-Plus expansion bus for additional system functions.

This bus offers compact, self-stacking, modular expandability. It is an embedded system version of

the signal set provided on a desktop PC's ISA bus. The PC/104-Plus bus includes this signal set,

and in addition, signals implementing a PCI bus, available on an additional 120-pin PCI bus

connector.

The Little Board P6d module's on-board EIDE, Ethernet, and Audio interface are internally

connected to its PCI bus. In addition, you can attach PCI peripherals to the board's stackable PCI

bus expansion connector in much the same way PC/104 modules are stacked on the PC/104

connectors. The PCI expansion connector consists of 4 rows of 30 pins (120-pin header), and carries

all of the appropriate PCI signals to accommodate up to 4 PCI add-on modules. The bus operates at

clock speeds up to 33MHz.

CompactFlash Disk

The CompactFlash interface allows you to substitute solid-state Flash memory for a conventional

Hard drive. Any DOS-based application, including the operating system, utilities, drivers, and

application programs, can easily be run from the CompactFlash device without modification.
