1.6.2 Intel QM87 Chipset (Lynx Point) PCH
The Intel 8 Series QM87 (Lynx Point) PCH provides extensive I/O support, as listed below:
•
PCIe x4 (2)
–
There are two PCIe ports of x4 width. The first is connected to the
FPGA-based VME Bridge. The other is connected to the Intel 82580EB Quad
Gigabit Ethernet controller.
•
SATA II (2)
–
There are two SATA ports that operate up to 3Gb/sec connected
to the VME P2 connector.
•
SATA III (2)
–
There are two SATA ports that operate up to 6Gb/sec connected
to the Expansion Site connector for the optional XBRD-9060
•
Bootable on-board SSD Flash
–
40GB of soldered-down on-board SSD Flash is
standard on all units. Hardware write protect is available on the SSD thru an
option in the BIOS setup menu.
•
USB 2
.
0 (6)
–
There are two ports connected to the VME P2 connector and two
ports connected to the front panel's 26-pin connector that function at USB 2.0
or USB 1.1 speeds. There are an additional two ports available on the Expansion
Site connector for the optional XBRD-9060.
•
VGA
–
An analog VGA port is available, including DDC clock and data, at either
the VME P2 connector or the front panel's 26-pin connector. Only one
connection may be used at a time and should auto switch when a monitor is
plugged in to either port. Override switches are available on SW2.
•
LPC
–
The Low Pin-count Bus is connected to both the NCT6106D Super-I/O for
serial ports and debug port 80 connections, in addition to the AT97SC3204 (1.2)
or SLB9665XT20 (2.0) TPM device.
•
SPI
–
The Serial Peripheral Interface is used for the onboard boot flash.
•
HDA Audio
–
The HDA audio port is connected to an ALC892 high definition
audio codec. Analog stereo line-in and line-out ports are available on the VME
P2 connector.
•
SMBUS
–
This I2C-compatible System Management Bus has connections to the
memory DIMMs, the XMC connectors, and also to an onboard EEPROM for
module identification.
1.6.3 Intel 82580EB Quad Ethernet Controller
The Intel 82580EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller contains both the MAC and the physical
layer. It provides 4 ports that auto-sense 10-Base-T, 100Base-T, and 1000Base-TX
connections. Two of these are available on the front panel's RJ Point 5 connector. Two
are available on the optional VME P0 connector, for use on a VITA 31.1 Switch-Fabric
compliant backplane, or via the optional XVME-9640 RTM module. One of these P0 ports
may instead be switched to the Expansion Site connector, making it available on the front
panel via the XBRD-9060 I/O Expander module.
1.6.4 Nuvoton NCT6106D Super-I/O
The Nuvoton NCT6106D is an LPC device that provides temperature and voltage
monitoring, Port 80 debug via 2 digit 7-segment display, and the following serial ports:
•
One RS-232 only, including RTS, CTS, DTR, and DSR control lines. Available on the
front panel's 26-pin connector.
•
One RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 (software selectable). TX/RX signals only. Available
on the VME P2 connector.
