3.4.1 Fulcrum FM3224 Switch The FM3224 10GbE Switch is the heart of the CPU-111-10 SBC. Using 10Gb Ethernet, it connects the backplane to the CPU, XMC Modules, and front panel SFP+ Fiber Optic I/O modules (not included with the CPU-111-10).
PEX8624 PCIe switch and from there to the CPU. As previously mentioned, the 82599 also supports IEEE 1588 precision time protocol (PTP) by time stamping in-coming and out-going data packets. Figure 5: 82599 Block Diagram CPU-111-10 - Intel Xeon Quad-Core 6U VPX SBC – User’s Manual Dynatem...
3.4.4 VPX 10Gb Ethernet I/O Seven ports from the FM3224 10GbE switch are connected to the VPX backplane. The CPU-111-10 complies with the VITA 46 OpenVPX standard for profile MOD6-PAY-4F2T-12.2.2-5. This profile covers the four 10GbE channels on VPX connector P1. The remaining three 10GbE channels connect to P2, P4, and P5.
VPX General Purpose I/O The CPU-111-10 provides general purpose I/O via VPX connector P4. This I/O can be connected to a rear transition module or can be terminated on the backplane. The I/O consists of (4) SATA ports, (4) USB ports, (1) LPC bus, (1) RS232/RS485 Serial Communications Port, (2) 1GbE SERDES channels, and (2) 1000BASE-T 1GbE ports.
A block diagram of the CPU-111-10 reset structure is shown below. The ispPOWR1220A provides reset glue logic for the board. The backplane system reset (BP_SYSRST#) is an input when the CPU-111-10 is installed in a peripheral slot and an output when installed in the system controller slot.
Chapter 3 – Hardware Description SMBus Architecture The CPU-111-10 utilizes an SMBus to support inter-chip communications. This can range from management functionality, e.g. reading temperature sensors, to setting up application specific operational conditions in the various peripheral components. The SMBus runs at a maximum speed of 100KHz.
Chapter 3 – Hardware Description Board Power There are 11 major supply rails on the CPU-111-10. A block diagram of the power supply architecture is shown below. The VPX backplane provides +12V and +5V supplies. The majority of the on-board supply rails are generated by Linear Technology LTM4616 16A MicroModules.
VGA port. Four 2mm headers are provided to support CPU-111-10 PMC Module I/O. J1 and J3 terminate the signals derived from PMC J14 and J2 and J4 terminate signals from J24. Please refer to Appendix D for RTM pin assignments.
Installation *** UNDER CONSTRUCTION *** The following sections cover the steps necessary to configure the CPU-111-10 and install it into a 6U VPX system for single-slot operation. This chapter should be read in its entirety before proceeding with the installation.
Front Panel Connectors and Reset Switch The CPU-111-10 supports two PMC/XMC sites, an SFP+ connector, and an optional USB port. Front panel indicators consist of a green power on LED, a red CPU Error LED, a yellow System Controller LED, and a yellow solid state drive activity LED.
