Product Overview The Xycom Automation Advanced High-Integration Platform 370 (AHIP-370) board is developed expressly for use in Xycom’s line of flat panel industrial personal com- puters. It is based on the AHIP6 but is optimized in design, layout, and features for use with flat panel computer systems.
Chapter One - Introduction Local Bus Interfaces The Celeron design uses the 440BX chip set. The 440BX integrates a high perform- ance interface from PCI to IDE. This interface is capable of accelerated data transfers. The 440BX chipset provides an accelerated PCI-to-ISA interface that includes •...
SDRAM (with up to 512 MB capability in the future). The memory site is populated by 100 MHz synchronous DRAM. Flash BIOS The AHIP-370 board uses a Flash BIOS. Flash is used for system BIOS and video BIOS. Non-volatile SRAM The AHIP-370 hardware supports non-volatile SRAM.
Hard and Floppy Drives The floppy interface supports one floppy drive. The AHIP-370 can interface to a floppy via the on-board floppy connector or the external floppy connector. In order to connect a floppy drive to the external connector after power up, the...
(Power On Self Test). The enhanced IDE (EIDE) interface supports up to 2 hard drives. Hard drive inter- face is via the Xycom plug-in backplane or the on-board IDE controller. Caution The higher the PIO mode, the shorter the cycletime. As the IDE cable length increases, this reduced cycle time can lead to erratic operation.
Specification Power Specifications: The maximum current that the supply can deliver is 19A. The CPU power supply on the AHIP-370 provides a voltage range of 1.30V to 2.05V in increments of 50mV. The CPU selects its voltage through its four outputs VID3- VID0.
Chapter Two - Installation Chapter 2 – Installation This chapter provides information on configuring the AHIP-370 Processor Module. Pinouts for the connectors are located in Appendix C. Figure 2-1 illustrates the jumper and connector locations on the AHIP-370. TOUCH KEYPAD LED IN CONN.
This is confusing, as it is contrary to the design documentation and user manual. Because of this, J5 has been eliminated on the AHIP-370. A 1K pull-down resistor is connected to signal XD (4) to simulate the B position.

RS-485 port. On the AHIP6, the RS-485 is enabled by asserting DTR. Two jumpers were added to the AHIP-370 to allow either DTR or RTS to control the RS-485 drives and determine whether the asserted or negated state will enable it.
The BIOS setup menu controls the interrupts for the serial and the parallel port. The two Serial ports on the AHIP-370 board can be mapped to any two of the fol- lowing interrupts: 3, 4, 10, & 11 (defaults are interrupts 3 and 4). One parallel port can be mapped to IRQ5 or IRQ7.
DMA channels 0-3 are 8-bit and DMA channels 5-7 are 16-bit. When the ECP option is enabled, one of the 8-bit DMA channels is used. Memory Map The following table shows the AHIP-370 memory map. The I/O designation refers to memory viewed as part of the AT bus. Table 2- 5. Memory Map...

AHIP-370 Manual Registers The AHIP-370 contains five I/O ports: 231h, 233h, 234h, and a user-definable port (port 180/1h, 2E0/1h, 3E0/1h, or 300/1h). These ports are compatible with AHIP4+ and AHIP 6+. Register 231h – Miscellaneous Control Register 231h controls the LEDs and signals shown in the following table.

Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved Connectors This section describes the connectors for the AHIP-370. Appendix C provides the pinouts for each of the connectors. Parallel Port Connector (PARCOM2) The parallel port is a stacked DB 25-pin connector. Serial Port Connectors There are two serial ports supported on the AHIP-370 board.
AHIP-370 Manual The BIOS setup determines whether the COM2 is used for the RS-232 connector or the IR interface. Jumpers on the touchscreen controller select the COM2 port or the auxiliary port. If a touchscreen controller is jumpered for COM2, this COM port is not available.
Chapter Two - Installation ISA/IDE Backplane Connector (ATIDE1) The ISA/IDE Backplane connector is a 120-pin connector. This connector provides both ISA and IDE signals to the backplane. IDE Connector (HDD1) IDE hard drive connector is a 40-pin header. This header is intended for future op- tions and testing.
The AHIP-370 customized BIOS is designed to surpass the functionality provided for normal PC/ATs. This custom BIOS allows you to access the value-added features on the AHIP-370 module without interfacing to the hardware directly.
