Functional Blocks and Main Board The following topics provide an overview of the cPCI-6770’s main features as shown in the functional block diagram below and also the main board. 1.4.1 Functional Block Diagram Mobile CPU Low Power Host Bus 100MHz Memory 440 BX SO-DIMM...
1.4.1 CompactPCI Bus Interface The cPCI-6770 operates in a 6U CompactPCI system. The CompactPCI standard is electrically identical to the PCI local bus standard but has been enhanced to work in harsh environments and support more peripheral slots. Additionally, when used in a Hot Swap compliant backplane and in accordance with the CompactPCI Hot Swap Specification, PICMG 2.1, Version 1.0 the cPCI-6770 supports hosting hot swappable peripherals in a powered system.
1.4.4 PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) Interface The cPCI-6770 provides a location for one on-board PMC device with front panel access. The PMC interface is on the PCI Bus with PMC VIO default factory setting tied to 5V by 0-ohm resistors R28 and R29. If R28 and R29 are removed, and R30 and R31 are installed with 0-ohm resistors, the PMC VIO is 3.3V.
1.4.7 Interrupts Two enhanced interrupt controllers provide the cPCI-6770 with a total of 15 interrupt inputs. Interrupt controller features include support for: • Level-triggered and edge-triggered inputs • Individual input masking • Fixed and rotating priorities Interrupt sources include: • Counter/Timers •...
1.4.10 Power Ramp Circuitry The cPCI-6770 features a power controller with power ramp circuitry to allow the board's voltages to be ramped in a controlled fashion. The power ramp circuitry eliminates any large voltage or current spikes caused by hot swapping boards.
1.4.13 Universal Serial Bus (USB) The Universal Serial Bus (USB) provides a common interface to slower-speed peripherals. Functions such as keyboard, serial ports, printer port, and mouse ports can be consolidated into USB, simplifying the cabling requirements of computers. The cPCI-6770 provides one USB ports on its faceplate and is controlled by the Intel 82371EB (PIIX4E) device.
Getting Started This chapter summarizes the information needed to make the cPCI-6770 operational. This chapter should be read before using the board. Unpacking Check the shipping carton for any damages. If the shipping carton and contents are damaged, notify the dealer for a replacement. Retain the shipping carton and packing material for inspection by the dealer.
System Requirements The following topics briefly describe the basic system requirements and configurable features of the cPCI-6770. 2.2.1 Connectivity The cPCI-6770 can be installed as a System Master in the System Slot or as a stand-alone computer in a peripheral slot. The cPCI-6770 is designed to operate in a backplane providing CompactPCI form factor interfaces at J1 and 2.2.2 Electrical and Environmental Power Consumption...
The cPCI-6770 is supplied with a heatsink allowing the processor to operate between 0º and approximately 55º C ambient with a minimum of 1 meter per second of external airflow. It is the users' responsibility to ensure that the cPCI-6770 is installed in a chassis capable of supplying adequate airflow. The maximum power dissipation of the processor at 850MHz (BGA2 package) is 29W.
BIOS Setup Screen Figure 4. BIOS Setup Screen 2.2.6 Operating System Installation For more detailed information about your operating system, refer to the documentation provided by the operating system vendor. Install peripheral devices. CompactPCI devices are automatically configured by the BIOS during the boot sequence. Most operating systems require initial installation on a hard drive, from a floppy or CDROM drive.

Proceed with the OS installation as directed, being sure to select appropriate device types if prompted. Refer to the appropriate hardware manuals for specific device types and compatibility modes of ADLINK NuIPC products. When installation is complete, reboot the system and set the boot device order in the SETUP boot menu appropriately.
Configuration The cPCI-6770 has been designed for maximum flexibility and can be configured for specific applications. Most configuration options are selected through the BIOS Setup utility (discussed in the "BIOS Configuration Overview" topic in Chapter 2). Some options cannot be software controlled and are configured with jumpers or removal of certain zero ohm resistors.
3.1.1 Switch Description SW1 (Reset) SW1 is a push-button on the front panel of the cPCI-6770. Pressing SW1 issues a hard reset. Reset is discussed in more detail in Chapter 4. JP2 (Clear CMOS Content) Setting Function Pin 1-2 Clear CMOS Content Short/Closed Pin 2-3 Normal Operation...
Ω Zero Shorting Resistors Ω The cPCI-6770 contains two pairs of zero shorting resistors that allow the user to configure the PMC VIO voltage to either +5V or +3.3V. The PMC interface is on the PCI Bus with PMC VIO default factory setting tied to +5V by 0-ohm resistors R28 and R29.
Watchdog Timer This chapter explains the operation of the cPCI-6770’s watchdog timer. It provides an overview of watchdog operation and features, as well as a sample code to help you learn how the watchdog timer works. Watchdog Timer Overview The primary function of the watchdog timer is to monitor the cPCI-6770’s operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function as programmed.
The cPCI-6770's custom watchdog timer circuit is implemented in a programmable logic device. The watchdog timer contains a "Control and Status Register". The register allows the BIOS or user applications to determine if a watchdog time out was the source of a particular reset. The watchdog timer drives the First and Second Stages as follows: The watchdog times out (First Stage) after a selected timeout interval.
