CompactPCI platform for embedded system developers
The new cPC1000DK CompactPCI high performance development platform from BVM is intended for use by system integrators and developers to develop both disc based and embedded applications.
Hot-swap PMC carrier will help to keep systems up
The new cPC2PMC from BVM Limited is a 6U Hot Swappable CompactPCI carrier, enabling two PMC modules to be added to a system.
Typical applications are in areas requiring maximum performance including video on demand (VoD), voice over IP (VoIP), multimedia streaming servers, as well as network and database servers.
In addition to the Socket 478 processor the WSB7651 supports up to 2Gbyte DDR266/333 memory and has a front side bus of 400 or 533MHz, again ensuring maximum performance is maintained.
The AGP4x graphics controller with 64Mbyte of memory is ideal for streaming of 3D images for games machines, large commercial kiosks and point-of-information terminals.
The inclusion of all the standard peripherals such as 10/100BaseT Ethernet, UltraDMA33/66/100 IDE, onboard audio and dual serial ports ensure full PC compatibility, whilst the availability of two PCI sites provide for expansion Ultra160 SCSI, extra LAN and Firewire (IEEE1394) interfaces to be added.
This opens up the WSB-7651 for use in a host of applications including computer telephony integration (CTI), advanced scientific and industrial applications.
Also provided on the WSB-7651 are a programmable watchdog timer, system monitoring and protection and high drive ISA and PICMG standard PCI interfaces allowing it to be used in a variety of active or passive backplane configurations.
The board is designed around the SiS650/651 chipset which provides the processor interface, a high performance 2D/3D graphics engine with AGP4x interface and memory controller.
I/O is provided by the SiS961 media I/O chipset communicating with the SiS650/651 at 533MHz.
This provides the 10/100MHz fast Ethernet, AC97 audio interface, dual USB, dual IDE AT100 channels, RTC, serial and parallel interfaces and the standard keyboard, mouse and IrDA interfaces.
