6 Introduction
1.6 Functional Description
Processor Support
The MI-220 is a Mini-ITX embedded board featuring the 2nd gen-
eration Intel® Core™ processor family (Intel® Core™i7/i5/i3) in
rPGA988B package. An integrated memory controller supports
dual channel 1066/1333 MHz DDR3 and Intel® HD Graphics is
integrated onboard the CPU. The CPU provides a PCI Express
x16 slot for external graphics or expansion. Direct Media Interface
(DMI) and Flexible Display Interface (FDI) provide connectivity to
the Mobile Intel® QM67 Express Chipset.
Mobile Intel® QM67 Express Chipset
The Intel® BD82QM67 Platform Controller Hub (PCH) combine
with the processor to provide a compact yet powerful 2-chip solu-
tion. Direct Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection
between the processor and PCH. Intel® Flexible Display Interface
carries display traffic from the integrated graphics on the proces-
sor to the legacy display interfaces on the PCH. The PCH sup-
ports all other required interfaces including PCI Express, SATA 6
Gb/s, USB 2.0, LPC, and SPI.
Dual-Channel DDR3 Memory
To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the
MI-220 has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting DDR3
1066/1333 MHz SO-DIMMs. The key advantages of DDR3 are
higher bandwidth and increased performance at lower power than
DDR2. DDR3 memory technology meets the requirements of the
latest 3D graphics, multimedia and network applications, and
boosts system performance by eliminating bottlenecks.
Gigabit Ethernet
The MI-220 utilizes an Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Ethernet PHY and
Intel® 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller connected to the PCIe
bus of the QM67 PCH. Intel® AMT 7.0 (82579LM on LAN1),
Wake-on-LAN and PXE are supported.
