2 PCM-5864/E/L User's Manual
1.1 Introduction
The PCM-5864/E/L is an all-in-one multi-media Pentium
®
processor-based single board computer (SBC) with a 16-bit audio
controller, a video in/out controller, a PCI SVGA controller, a PCI
100/10 base-T Ethernet interface, and one PCI expansion slot.
When using an Intel
®
Pentium
®
MMX processor, the PCM-5864/
E/L achieves outstanding performance that surpasses any other
SBC in its class. This compact (only 5.75“ x 8”) unit offers all the
functions of a single board industrial computer, but still fits in the
space of a 5.25“ floppy drive.
On-board features include 512 KB 2nd level cache, four serial
ports (three RS-232, one RS-232/422/485), one multi-mode
parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, two USB (Universal Serial Bus)
ports, a floppy drive controller, and a keyboard/PS/2 mouse
interface. The built-in high-speed PCI IDE controller supports
both PIO and bus master modes. Up to two IDE devices can be
connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and tape
backup drives.
The PCM-5864/E/L features power management to minimize
power consumption. It complies with the “Green Function”
standard and supports Doze, Standby and Suspend modes. In
addition, the board‘s watchdog timer can automatically reset the
system or generate an interrupt if the system stops due to a
program bug or EMI.
Highly integrated multimedia SBC
The PCM-5864/E/L is a highly integrated multimedia SBC that
combines audio, video, and network functions on a single
computer board the size of a 5.25" floppy drive. It provides 16-bit
half-duplex, 8-bit full-duplex, integrated 3D audio, and up to
1024 x 768 resolution @ 64 K colors with 2 MB display memory.
Major on-board devices adopt PCI technology, to achieve
outstanding computing performance when used with Intel
®
Pentium
®
processors. This makes the PCM-5864/E/L the world‘s
smallest and most powerful all-in-one multimedia board.
