Chapter 5: Theory of operation Features The foundation of the EPC-3311’s design consists of the Mobile Intel Pentium III Processor-M (Tualatin) with the RadiSys 82600 system controller and the connection to CompactPCI J1, J2, and J3. RadiSys 82600 The RadiSys 82600 high integration dual PCI system controller functions as a combination north bridge, a super I/O, and a PCI-CompactPCI bridge.

FPGA configuration header is cleared (CFG Reg 04, bit 02). When memory space is disabled, the FPGA signals this by negating its ~MEM_EN output. The EPC-3311 may use this signal to force the boot ROM device into a low power state.
System battery The EPC-3311 utilizes a CR2032 lithium (Li/MnO 2 ) coin battery. This +3V battery provides power to retain the correct date, time, and computer parameters in CMOS when the system is powered off. This information assists the BIOS in performing initialization and configuration during power-on or reset operations.
Read Write Hot Swap and system management The EPC-3311 meets the requirements for Full Hot Swap as defined by the CompactPCI Hot Swap specification. The EPC-3311 can functions as: • A host processor by occupying a system slot in a CompactPCI backplane which may or may not have a 2.16 compliant interconnection fabric.
The RadiSys-managed HA implementation recognizes, emulates, and coexists with the high availability signals defined in PICMG 2.1. However, the activation of those signals only occurs when the EPC-3311 is installed in a chassis which implements, elsewhere in the system, the centralized, proprietary control logic required to implement PICMG 2.1 HA Hot Swap.
+3.3V, +5V, +12V, and –12V domains. The backplane also provides IPMB_PWR for the system management subsystem; this potential may be active when the main power rails are not. The EPC-3311 implements appropriate isolation between the HMC and the rest of the board to comply with the PICMG 2.9 System Management Specification on system...
EPC-3311 must have ~BD_SEL cycle by external HA circuitry, or by removing and reinserting the board. When the EPC-3311 is in the connected state, peak current is as follows: • +3.3V: 8 Amps maximum. This limitation is based on a 1 amp per pin current limit (PICMG 2.1, Sec.
Chapter 5: Theory of operation HMC hardware watchdog The HMC implements a software-enabled watchdog as defined in the IPMI specification. This watchdog can generate a board reset to recover from the host processor’s failure. This configurable watchdog is started by software commands from the host processor.
• One PS/2-style combination mouse and keyboard port. The PS/2 port on the EPC-3311’s I/O bracket is configured by default for use with a PS/2 keyboard. To use this port with a PS/2 mouse also, you must first attach a “Y” splitter cable.
A single SDRAM memory module board may be attached to the EPC-3311. Memory modules are available in 512 MB, and 1 GB sizes. • Three optional devices can physically mount in the top section of the EPC-3311: • One 2.5" hard disk drive •...
IDE device. The IDE channel is connected to local devices on the EPC-3311 only, or is connected to the RTM only. The EPC-3311, along with its RTM, can house four devices, but because the IDE channel supports only two devices, invalid IDE configurations are possible.

Chapter 6 This chapter describes the EPC-3311’s optional RTMs (Rear Transition Modules): • EPC-3311 RTML: This board features one PMC I/O site and two RJ-45 100/1000Base-T Ethernet connectors. The RTML works with the EPC-3311 and a non-packet-switched backplane in a chassis.
® -3311 Hardware Reference Features The RTMs, optional, single-slot 6U CompactPCI peripherals, provide connectors that get I/O out the back of a chassis: • Two RJ-45 100/1000Base-T Ethernet connectors with LEDs for link and activity (RTML only). • A 44-pin, straight male IDE header that provides a connection point for a hard-disk ribbon cable.
5. • A chassis such as the RadiSys CP50. To install the RTM onto a passive backplane not manufactured by RadiSys, consult the instructions provided by the backplane manufacturer. • An already-installed EPC-3311. For information about installing the EPC-3311, Chapter 2, Installation and operation.
You cannot hot-swap the RTM. 2. Locate the slot on the rear of the backplane directly opposite the EPC-3311. 3. Ensure that the ejector handles are in the normal (non-eject) position. (Push the top handle down and the bottom handle up so that the handles are not tilted.)
Chapter 6: RTMs CompactPCI connectors (J3 and J5) The RTM uses two {platform} connectors, J3 and J5. J5 connector J5 provides the connection for all T1/E1 pairs and LED control from PMC connector Jn4. J5 also provides connection paths between the RTM and the TDM2IX and the CPLD.
® -3311 Hardware Reference J3 connector The J3 connector is a user-defined connector that routes T1/E1 and Ethernet signal pairs and LED controls to the RTM for specific use with the 8-port Serial 2-port Ethernet RTM. J3 provides the interface for PCI Ethernet signaling and LED control as well as IX Ethernet signaling and LED control.
In a legacy (non-2.16) chassis, these signals pass through to RJ-45 connectors on the RTM. • The EPC-3311 does not support the 82544’s Wake-On-LAN and TCO interfaces. The Ethernet connector is used on the EPC3311-RTML. The EPC3311-RTM216 has an additional PIM socket in place of the Ethernet connectors.

® -3311 Hardware Reference BIOS Control/Status register (0x100) IDE_RST ISO_RTM HDD_ ~HDD_ ~CF_ ROM_ RSVD RSVD 0x100 Master Present Present Access: – – – IDE_RST A read/write bit that asserts the output ~IDE_RST low when set to 1. ISO_RTM Routes the EIDE bus. Values for this read/write bit include: Routes to local devices.
Appendix H: FPGA features register set FPGA RSI (Register Set Index) register (0x185) NDX0 0x185 RSVD RSVD RSVD RSVD NDX3 NDX2 NDX1 Access: RSVD Reserved for future use. These read-only bits always return a 0 (zero). NDX[3..0] Selects the active FPGA Features register. The combined NDX bits provide this 4-bit index register.
Front panel reset asserted. Front panel reset did not assert. CPCI_SYS Indicates whether the EPC-3311, when configured as a peripheral, receives a reset from the system controller. Values for this read/write-clear bit include: The system controller reset the board.
ISA IRQ the PCI interrupt is routed to by examining bits 3:0 of the RadiSys 82600 LIRQRC[D] Route Control Register at PCI configuration space offset 0xA3 of device 0 function 0. For detailed information about this register, see the 82600 High Integration Dual PCI System Controller Databook.
CPCI_SYS_SEL Determines what occurs when a system controller reset asserts. Used only when the EPC-3311 is a peripheral. Values for this read/write bit include: An IBR_IRQ (IBR interrupt request).

Values for this read-only bit include: The front panel eject handle is closed.
When the 82600 forwards memory accesses to the PCI bus, this register controls decoding of the alias region to a memory location in the ROM. The RadiSys 82600 must be properly set for this to occur. For more information about the 82600, see the 82600 High Performance System Controller.

• (Optional) A RadiSys POST card. The EPC-3311 has a 14-pin female header, P1, which accepts a RadiSys POST card, a small PCB with two seven-segment LEDs that display the status sent to legacy PC I/O port 80h. Both phlash.exe and the BIOS send status to this port.
Appendix I: Re-programming the flash chip • Update the Crisis Reflash program: Use this method if the existing BIOS runs. RadiSys recommends this as the simplest method. This process is not supported on a non-DOS OS (for example: Windows NT, QNX).

16-bit DOS program. It cannot be used from a 32-bit Microsoft Windows command line. It has been tested on the EPC-3311 in three DOS-compatible environments. You can start phlash.exe from the serial redirection console, but the serial redirection feature may not display the graphics of phlash.exe completely.
• (Optional, but recommended) An installed VGA PMC. • (Optional) An installed RadiSys POST card. 2. Ensure that memory managers such as HIMEM.SYS, EMS, XMS or DPMI are not loaded. To boot without loading memory managers, press F5 just before DOS starts.
