Chapter 1 Introduction General Description The Little Board/P5x is a high integration, high-performance Pentium-based PC/AT-compatible system that conforms to the EBX V.1.1 specification. This rugged and high quality single-board system contains all the component subsystems of a PC/AT PCI motherboard plus the equivalent of up to six expansion boards. The Little Board/P5x is designed to meet the size, power consumption, temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded system appli

The Pentium CPU has its standard on-chip cache memory (typically 16K). In addition, a 512K byte synchronous-burst secondary cache is provided to increase performance. The board uses a single DIMM memory module for main DRAM memory, and supports from 16M bytes to 256M bytes in a 64-bit configuration. Both EDO and SDRAM 3.3V DRAM types are supported. (5V DRAMS, ECC, and DRAM parity are not supported.) The module has a full complement of standard PCI PC/AT architectural features, including DMA chan

The Little Board/P5x module’s on-board EIDE, video interfaces, and optional SCSI interface are internally connected to its PCI bus. In addition, you can attach PCI peripherals to the board’s stackable PCI bus expansion connector in much the same way PC/104 modules are stacked on the PC/104 connectors. The PCI expansion connector

The Compact Flash interface is implemented as an IDE drive. If it is installed, it takes the position of one of the drives of the primary IDE interface (settable as a master or slave drive). PCI UltraSCSI Interface An PCI UltraSCSI controller subsystem is available by special order. The SCSI components are not assembled on standard versions of
