14 SBC622 Hardware Reference Manual
Software Support
The
SBC622
provides
two
Core
i7
processor
cores
with
a
shared
memory
and
I/O
resource
pool.
Customer
system
applications
call
for
software
platforms
that
support
Symmetric
Multiprocessing
(SMP)
operation
as
well
as
near
real
time
support
of
independent
application
threads.
Generally,
these
different
software
needs
require
the
support
of
multiple
operating
systems,
and
also
require
software
driver
and
Board
Support
Packages
(BSP)
to
support
the
low
level
hardware
functions.
Device Driver Strategy
Standard
device
drivers
for
the
silicon
resources
are
used
where
possible.
The
SBC622
software
re
‐
uses
existing
device
drivers
for
features
that
are
common
to
previous
single
board
computers.
BIOS firmware, Infrastructure Support
The
SBC622
includes
BIOS
firmware
which
provides
all
functions
required
by
the
processor
core
and
chipset.
This
package
also
includes
the
onboard
hardware
initialization
code
that
is
executed
following
release
from
reset.
The
BIOS
code
is
supported
via
a
flash
device
on
the
PCH
SPI
bus.
The
BIOS
also
provides
ROM
code
that
supports
remote
booting
from
any
of
the
Ethernet
ports.
Target Operating Systems
SBC622
hardware
supports
Windows,
Linux,
and
VxWorks
operating
systems.
The
following
notes
provide
information
to
properly
install
certain
versions
of
the
operating
systems.
•
Windows
XP
SP3
NOTE
There is a known issue with certain brands and models of USB CDROM drives where the USB
CDROM path is lost during WindowsXP Install to CompactFlash.
Solution:
-Use SATA CD/DVDROM drive.
-Unplug USB mouse and keyboard after first phase of XP install complete and message stating
"windows will restart in 15 seconds".
-Plug USB mouse and keyboard into USB port connected to (first/second) USB controller, and the
USB CDROM into USB port connected to (second/first) USB controller.
-Paste the drive letter path into the dialog box when XP install states "The file 'asms/…/...' on
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 CD-ROM is needed".
•
Linux
Fedora
11
NOTE
To get the I
2
C and temperature drivers to work under Fedora 11, you need to make a change
to /boot/grub/menu.lst, first by adding 'acpi_enforce_resources=no' kernel option. This fixes an
ACPI and I
2
C conflict and allows the I
2
C and temperature probe drivers to work.

VxWorks
