Component Features
This section further describes the supported features of the CM1-86DX3 major, on-board hard-
ware components.
2.4.1
CPU
The CM1-86DX3 features the DMP Electronics Vortex, VX86DX3 CPU, System-on-Chip (SoC).
The VX86DX3 is a high-performance and fully static, 32-bit x86 processor with the compatibility
of Windows-based, Linux, and most popular 32-bit RTOS. The SoC integrates Processor Core,
Northbridge, and Southbridge functions within a single 581-pin BGA package, providing an opti-
mal solution for embedded system and communications products such as thin client, NAST
router, home gateway, access point, and tablet applications.
2.4.2
SDRAM
The CM1-86DX3 employs one channel of 64-bit DDR3L on-board memory. Four SDRAM mem-
ory chips provide up to 16Gb of low-voltage non-ECC, unbuffered system memory. Refer to the
MT41K
SDRAM data sheet on the Micron web site.
The following total DRAM capacities are supported:
X
256M x 16 x 2 = 1 GB (optional)
X
256M x 16 x 4 = 2 GB (standard)
2.4.4
LAN Controller
The Intel I210IT provides a single-port controller that supports GbE functionality using the
high-speed PCIe standard, v2.1 (2.5GT/s). The I210IT features an integrated PHY, which
enables 1000BASE-T implementations such as rack-mounted or pedestal servers in add-on NIC
or LAN-on-Motherboard (LOM) designs. Other implementations include blade servers such as
LOMs or mezzanine cards as well as embedded applications such as switch add-on cards and
network appliances. Refer to the Intel I210IT Ethernet Controller data sheet on the Intel web
site.
