You can find out more about EPC-3307 from these sources: • World Wide Web: RadiSys maintains an active site on the World Wide Web. The site contains current information about the company and locations of sales offices, new and existing products, contacts for sales, service, and technical support information.
Overview Chapter 1 † The EPC-3307, a CompactPCI Peripheral Processor Board, operates in a 6U peripheral slot of a CompactPCI system. The EPC-3307 hardware is compatible with all major PC software environments † † † including Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0.
PMC slot 2 • One PMC. • Up to 2 memory modules. The EPC-3307 can be fitted with a PMC module, a PCI Mezzanine card that conforms to IEEE P1386.1. For more information about PMC modules, see Appendix F, PMC modules.

Watchdog timer with programmable timeouts which you can program to produce hard or soft resets. The EPC-3307 can accept the RadiSys memory module, available in 256 MByte, 512MByte, and 1GByte densities. You can stack two memory cards on the main board, although you can use only one of each memory module density.
CompactPCI backplane. CompactPCI bus The CompactPCI bus is accessed from the EPC-3307’s PCI bus via an Intel 21554 PCI-to-PCI bridge. This bridge connects the onboard PCI bus (bus 0) with the CompactPCI bus, which may have as many as seven additional CompactPCI devices connected to it.

(2000m) with sufficient airflow to keep within the temperature specification. Operation above 30°C reduces the maximum operational relative humidity. These are system-level tests. The EPC-3307’s conformance to these specifications may be affected by the rest of the system’s ability to conform. Since the product is part of a larger system, it is designed and tested to these specifications, but not agency certified.

FFF80000h–FFFFFFFFh. BIOS ROM and ROM shadowing The EPC-3307 utilizes a Flash Boot Device (FBD) as its BIOS ROM. The BIOS ROM is mapped into the top of the processor’s 32-bit address space. The BIOS consists of a 16 KByte boot block and the System BIOS in the 96KB Main block and both 8KB parameter blocks.
Supports five PCI bus masters in addition to the Host and PCI to ISA bridge DRAM/SDRAM memory controller The 440GX supports 100 MHz SDRAM memory. The EPC-3307 uses both soldered-down memory and the RadiSys Blue Heron memory module. All memory configurations are with ECC.
Chapter 4: Theory of operation PIIX4E PCI-ISA bridge The Intel PIIX4E is a 324-pin BGA that runs on +3.3V with a reference voltage tied to +5V for +5V signal compatibility. It dissipates a maximum of 1 W. The PIIX4E provides support for a PCI-to-ISA bridge, an IDE controller, compatibility devices, a dual USB controller, SMBus, a real time clock (RTC), and power management logic.
EPC-3307 Hardware Reference • Distributed DMA: Allows PCI devices to receive reads and writes to 82C37 registers. The DMA controller also provides support for the serial interrupt scheme typically associated with Distributed DMA. • Timer/counters: The timer/counter block contains three counters equivalent in function to those found in one 82C54 programmable interval timer.
Chapter 4: Theory of operation format is determined by bit 2 of Control Register B. The hour is represented in 12- or 24-hour format, and the format is selected by bit 1 of Control Register B. When changing the format, the time registers must be reinitialized to the corresponding data format.
EPC-3307 Hardware Reference mapping requirements, Class Code, Subsystem ID and Subsystem Vendor ID, and others. During the preload operation, all accesses to the 21554 configuration registers receive a target retry.

RTM near the RJ45. Battery The 3.0V lithium battery supplied with the EPC-3307 and mounted on the CPU board is a Renata CR2032 “coin cell” or equivalent. Should the battery fail, you may obtain and install a replacement.
PICMG 2.9 R1.0 CompactPCI System Management Specification. This IPMI BMC provides the ability to monitor, query, and log system management events on the EPC-3307 and in the CompactPCI system. This capability provides the ability to detect failing hardware, log the sequence of events leading to a failure and remotely manage and reset the system.
EPC-3307 Hardware Reference HDD Option The EPC-3307 can accept an on-board 2.5" HDD. The HDD is mounted to the CPU with rails, which mount to PMC mounting holes. The HDD attaches to the main board with a standard 2mm ribbon cable.
0x0F RTM Version 0x10 Allows CPU to determine which RTM is presently installed. Subsystem ID 0x11 EPC-3307 subsystem ID (0x1F). Reserved 0xFF — — Software must first write to the index register before reading or writing to the data register.
EPC-3307 Hardware Reference Application software can prevent the watchdog event from occurring by a dummy write (data written is irrelevant) to the Kickdog register. On a soft reset, the Watchdog Central register resets to 0x00. This is the only register in the CPLD (other than the Reset Event register) affected by a soft reset.
Indicates that the last reset was from the Watchdog timer, active high. Local interrupt control register The EPC-3307 Special Features CPLD controls several interrupts and the CPU INIT signal. The Local Interrupt Control register enables or disables these signals. The next table defines the bit position to control these features.
63 ms before the INIT signal to the processor is strobed. Reset controller The EPC-3307 implements three types of resets: POR, Hard Reset, and Soft Reset. A POR and Hard Reset are identical: all registers are set to their initial value (with the exception of the Reset Event register which retains the source of the hard reset).
(if required) the source of the interrupts. Slot position can be determined by reading the Geographical Address from the CPLD. Plug the EPC-3307 into a system slot only if the system is specifically designed around the EPC-3307 feature set. The EPC-3307 is not designed as a system card.
EPC-3307 Hardware Reference system. INTS_IN Routes CompactPCI interrupts to the processor. If set to one, the CPU receives ~INTA , ~INTB, ~INTC, and ~INTD from the CompactPCI backplane. GA4:0 The CompactPCI Geographical Address pins from the CompactPCI backplane. They are used to determined which CompactPCI slot the CPU is in.
Chapter 4: Theory of operation register in the CPLD controls which page is active. On initial power-up, the BIOS Control register is set to point at the top of the boot block flash, where the PC BIOS resides. At a later time, software can select one of the other seven banks to execute from.

Glossary A factor in measurement of a memory storage device’s operating speed. It is the Access Time amount of time required to perform a read operation. More specifically, it is the period of time between which the memory receives a read command signal and the time when the requested data becomes available to the system data bus.

Glossary (Cylinders/Heads/Sectors) A specification of disk drive operating parameters consisting of the number of disk cylinders, disk drive read/write heads, and disk sectors. The state of all user-changeable hardware and software settings as they are originally Default configured before any changes are made. (Disk Operating System) One or more programs which allow a computer to use a disk drive as an external storage device.

Glossary microprocessor to jump to a special program called the interrupt service routine. The microprocessor executes this special program, which normally involves servicing the interrupting device. When the interrupt service routine is completed, the microprocessor resumes execution of the program it was working on before the interruption occurred.

EPC-3307 Hardware Reference (Phase-Locked Loop) A semiconductor device which functions as an electronic feedback control system to maintain a closely regulated output frequency from an unregulated input frequency. The typical PLL consists of an internal phase comparator or detector, a low pass filter, and a voltage controlled oscillator which function together to capture and lock onto an input frequency.

Glossary RTC is typically receives power from a small battery to retain the current time of day when the computer is powered down. The process of replacing a BIOS image, in binary format, in the flash boot device. Reflashing An area typically inside the microprocessor where data, addresses, instruction codes, Register and information on the status on various microprocessor operations are stored.
