Motherboard Functional Specification 1.2 Unified Memory Architecture The STPC Atlas makes use of a tightly coupled Unified Memory Architecture (UMA), where the same memory array is used for CPU main memory and graphics frame-buffer. This means a reduction in total system memory for system performances that are equal to that of a comparable frame buffer and system memory based system, and generally much better, due to the higher memory bandwidth allowed by attaching the graphics engine directly to the 64-bit processor host interface running at the speed of the processor bus rather than the...
Motherboard Functional Specification - Two Serial Ports - One Parallel Port - 16 General Purpose I/Os - I²C Interface • Integrated Peripheral Controller - DMA Controller - Interrupt Controller - Timer/Counters • Power Management Unit • Watchdog • JTAG IEEE1149.1 1.5 Memory Interface The STPC Atlas handles the memory data bus directly, controlling from 8 MBytes to 128 MBytes.
Motherboard Functional Specification • Buffered DMA & ISA master cycles to reduce bandwidth utilization of the PCI and Host bus. 1.8 PCI Bus Interface The PCI bus is the main data communication link to the STPC Atlas chip. The STPC Atlas translates appropriate host bus I/O and Memory cycles onto the PCI bus.

Motherboard Functional Specification RAMDAC and reformats it to the TFT format. The height and width of the flat panel are programmable through configuration registers up to a size of 1024 by 1024. By default, lower resolution images cover only a part of the larger TFT panel. The STPC Atlas allows the user to expand the image vertically and horizontally in text mode by inserting programmable blank pixels.
Hardware Installation 2 Hardware Installation Installing the system board requires the configuration of switches, the setting of jumpers and the attachment of connectors. See Figure 2-1 for jumper location information. 2.1 Jumpers Jumpers on the system board provide information to your system about installed options and system settings.

DIMM SDRAM socket. Soldered SDRAM The ATLASISABD is normally supplied with four 64 Mb (4 M x 16-bit, 54-pin TSOP(ll)) devices soldered to the board. If required, these could be replaced with four 16 Mb (1 M x 16- bit, 50-pin TSOP(ll)) devices or with four 128 Mb (8 M x 16-bit, 54-pin TSOP(ll)) devices.
Hardware Installation 2.3.6 Step 4: Setting STPC Atlas CPU Speed (S500 - 4, 5 and 6) Using the S500 DIP switch, set keys 4, 5 and 6 as given in Table 2-2, according to the expected CPU speed. This is validated on reset or Power up. This speed corresponds to HCLK (CPU) clock.
Hardware Installation 2.3.7 Step 5: Setting the PCI Clock Speed (S500 - 2 & 3) Using the S500 DIP switch, set keys 2 and 3 as given in Table 2-3 Table 2-4, according to the STPC Atlas HCLK (CPU) speed setup and the required PCI clock speed. This is validated on reset or Power up.

JTAG Facility 3 JTAG Facility 3.1 Introduction The JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) facility complies with the requirements of IEEE1149.1, a common protocol and boundary-scan architecture developed into an industrial standard. It requires the use of special test circuits at the inputs and outputs (boundary-scan) of selected semi-conductor components, together with logic to control these test circuits.
