Board Overview

The CP6012 is a highly integrated 6U CompactPCI system controller board based on the Intel®
Core™ Duo and the Intel® Core™2 Duo microprocessors combined with the high-
performance Intel® E7520 and Intel® 6300ESB server-class chipsets.
The board is capable of supporting the Intel® Core™ Duo and the Intel® Core™2 Duo
processor versions in 65 nm technology with 64 kB L1 and up to 4 MB L2 cache in a 479
µFCBGA package with frequencies ranging from 1.5 GHz up to 2.16 GHz providing up to 667
MHz front side bus speed.
The Intel® Core™ Duo and the Intel® Core™2 Duo are low-power dual-core processors sup-
porting Intel's Virtualization Technology (VT). The Intel® Core™ Duo consists of two cores and
up to 2 MB L2 cache shared by both cores. The Intel® Core™2 Duo consists of two cores, up
to 4 MB L2 cache shared by both cores, Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel®
EM64T), and enhanced address range for up to 64 GB memory. The Intel® Core™ Duo and
the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processors deliver optimized power-efficient computing and outstand-
ing dual-core performance with low power consumption.
The board includes two SODIMM sockets to provide up to 4 GB dual-channel, registered,
second-generation Double Data Rate (DDR2) memory with Error Checking and Correcting
(ECC) running at 400 MHz (PC3200). Two Intel® 82571EB Dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers,
each utilizing a x4 lane PCI Express interconnection to the E7520 chipset, ensure maximum
data throughput between processor and memory.
The CP6012 offers more features and expandability than other CompactPCI boards in its class.
The board comes with four Gigabit Ethernet ports, up to four USB 2.0 ports, two Ultra ATA/100
interfaces with one of them connected to a CompactFlash type II socket, two onboard Serial
ATA interfaces, one PMC interface with 64-bit/66 MHz on the PCI bus, one XMC interface
utilizing a x8 lane PCI Express interconnection, rear I/O with several interfaces, and an ATI
ES1000 2D Graphics accelerator with 64 MB of DDR2 memory for enhanced graphics
performance with a VGA CRT-display interface. Several onboard connectors provide additional
expansion capability.
The board supports a configurable 64-bit/66 MHz, hot swap CompactPCI interface. In the
System Master slot the interface is enabled, and if installed in a peripheral slot, the CP6012 is
isolated from the CompactPCI bus.
A further feature of the CP6012 is its support of the PICMG CompactPCI Packet Switching
Backplane Specification 2.16. When installed in a backplane which supports packet switching,
the CP6012 can communicate via two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with other peripherals.
Designed for stability, the board fits into all applications situated in industrial environments,
including I/O intensive applications where only one slot is available for the CPU, making it a
perfect core technology for long-life applications. Components with high temperature tolerance
have been selected from embedded technology programs, and therefore offer long-term
availability.
The board is offered with Linux®, Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded and
Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, and VxWorks® operating systems. Please contact
Kontron for further information concerning the operation of the CP6012 with other operating
systems.
