The Flash resides in one or two J3 Intel StrataFlash devices soldered directly to the board. This architecture supports Flash memory capacities from 4Mbytes up to 32Mbytes. The factory default GW2348-4 includes 16Mbytes of Flash in a single device. 6 of 26...
Avila Network Computer Operating Manual Compact Flash The GW2348-4 supports a single Compact Flash socket located on the rear of the board. The Compact Flash socket accepts small removable mass storage cards with storage capacities up to 4Gbytes. The Compact Flash interrupt is mapped to general purpose I/O 12 (GPIO12) of the IXP processor.
50% to 100% between 35 and 45 degrees Celsius. Serial I/O The GW2348-4 includes two RS232 serial I/O ports. One serial I/O port is available through a 10-pin header and the other is available through a 9-pin female D-shell connector.
See section 2.7 for instructions on using the Gateworks JTAG Programmer. Status LED and Push Button Reset The GW2348-4 includes a status LED and a push button for generating reset. The LED is connected to general purpose I/O 3 (GPIO3). DC/DC Converter A switching DC/DC converter supplies power to the GW2348-4.

Mini-PCI Sockets (J1, J2, J3, J4) There are four Mini-PCI sockets for expanding the peripheral support with high- speed PCI devices. The GW2348-4 supports standard 3.3V Mini-PCI cards. Support is not provided for audio, modem, and networking sideband signaling as defined in the Mini-PCI specification.
The pin assignment for the industry standard Compact Flash socket is shown below. The Compact Flash is connected to the expansion bus on the IXP processor. The GW2348-4 Compact Flash connector signaling is illustrated in the following table. The Compact Flash interrupt is connected to general purpose I/O 12 (GPIO12) of the IXP processor.
Avila Network Computer Operating Manual COM2 Serial Port Header (J6) The COM2 serial port is available through a 10-pin header in a 2x5 configuration with 0.1-inch pin spacing. The mating connector is an AMP/Tyco 746288-1, available from Digi-Key as part number AKN10A-ND. The pin assignment supports a ribbon cable connection to a standard 9-pin D-shell connector.
Digital I/O Header Power Connector (J9) Power is applied to the GW2348-4 through a standard 2.5mm x 5.5mm barrel jack or through either Ethernet Connector. The input voltage range is 9VDC minimum and 48VDC maximum. The power jack should have the positive input voltage on the inner sleeve and ground on the outer sleeve.

2.6. Input Voltage Selection The GW2348-4 is capable of operating over a wide input voltage range of 9VDC to 48VDC. The amount of power available for the mini-PCI sockets is limited at lower input voltages as shown in the table below. For example, operating at an input voltage of 12V limits the total power available to the Mini-PCI sockets to 9.4W or 2.35W per socket in a four-socket system.
Apply power and watch for Redboot and Linux output on the serial console. It is also possible to communicate to the GW2348-4 using a telnet session over Ethernet. First, connect the J10 Ethernet port on the GW2348-4 to the Ethernet port on a Host Computer using either a standard or a crossover cable.
