Avila Network Computer Operating Manual 1.4. Functional Blocks The functional block diagram for the GW2342 network processor is shown below followed by a detailed description of each major functional block. The network processor includes several options that are specified at the time of ordering.
SDRAM The DRAM resides in two synchronous DRAM devices soldered directly to the board. This architecture supports SDRAM memory capacities from 32Mbytes up to 128Mbytes. The 32-bit SDRAM interface operates at 133MHz. The Gateworks standard shipping configuration is 64Mbytes. Flash ®...
Mini-PCI is a small form factor PCI card that uses the same signal protocol, electrical specifications, and configuration definitions as conventional PCI. There are up to four Mini-PCI sockets available on the GW2342. There are a wide variety of Mini-PCI cards available for expanding the networking functionality of the GW2342.
50% to 100% between 35 and 45 degrees Celsius. Serial I/O The GW2342 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.
Avila Network Computer Operating Manual 2. CONFIGURATION AND INSTALLATION The following section gives memory, interrupt, I2C and digital I/O mappings specific to the GW2342. See the Intel IXP4XX Product Line and IXC1100 Control Plane Processors Developer’s Manual for more information on these interfaces. 2.1.
Avila Network Computer Operating Manual 2.2. PCI Device Mapping The GW2342 PCI device mapping is listed below. Device Description Number Number Number Number Mini-PCI Slot (J3) Mini-PCI Slot (J1) Mini-PCI Slot (J4) Mini-PCI Slot (J2) PCI Device Map 2.3. Interrupt Mapping The IXP42X processor allows for 32 interrupts which originate from either internal processor blocks or from the 14 dedicated GPIO pins.
Interrupt Map 2.4. Digital I/O Mapping The GW2342 uses the IXP42x Processor digital I/O for controlling and monitoring the status of various devices. The IXP42x processor includes three 16-bit registers for configuring, initializing, and using the digital I/O. The output enable register (GPOER) configures each bit as an input or output.
Avila Network Computer Operating Manual 2.5. Interface Connectors The Gw2342 interface connector pin assignments and signal descriptions are included in the following sections. The connectors are listed in the table below and the connector locations are shown in the following diagrams.
Mini-PCI Sockets (J1, J2, J3, J4) There are four Mini-PCI sockets for expanding the peripheral support with high- speed PCI devices. The GW2342 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 GW2342 Compact Flash connector signaling is illustrated in the following table. The Compact Flash interrupt mapping is listed in Section 2, Interrupt Mapping.
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.
Avila Network Computer Operating Manual Power Connector (J9) Power is applied to the GW2342 through a standard 2.5mm x 5.5mm barrel jack or through either Ethernet Connector. The input voltage range is 6VDC minimum and 28VDC maximum. The power jack should have the positive input voltage on the inner sleeve and ground on the outer sleeve.
Avila Network Computer Operating Manual USB Device Connector (J12) The GW2347 includes a Type B connector to support the USB Device configuration. The interface does not operate as a USB host. Signal No Connect Data- Data+ Ground USB Device Connector COM1 Serial Port Connector (J13) The COM1 serial port connector is an industry standard female 9-pin D-shell connector with the pin assignment given in the table below.
1. Connect the GW 16012 JTAG programmer to a PC parallel port using the standard DB25 cable included with programmer. 2. Connect the 10-pin IDC female from the GW16012 dongle to the GW2342 JTAG connector. 3. Create a bootable DOS floppy with the FLASH.EXE program and the binary image.
Apply power and watch for Redboot and Linux output on the serial console. It is also possible to communicate to the GW2342 using a telnet session over Ethernet. First, connect the J10 Ethernet port on the GW2342 to the Ethernet port on a Host Computer using either a standard or a crossover cable.
4.1. Product Revision History Revision A – Initial Release (ECO 10000398 dated 01/04) The GW2342 is initially released at revision A and the printed circuit board at revision 01210030-00. Revision B – GPIO Mapping (ECO 10000400 dated 05/04) This revision reassigned the GPIO mapping to better match the Intel development platform.
