Overview
Introduction
VMIC’s VMICPCI-7611 is a complete IBM PC/AT-compatible Pentium II/III
Embedded Module processor-based computer with the additional benefits of
Eurocard construction and full compatibility with the CompactPCI Specification
Rev. 2.1. The VMICPCI-7611 with advanced CPCI interface and SDRAM that is
dual-ported to the CPCI bus, is ideal for CPCI system controller applications.
The single-slot CPU board functions as a standard PC/AT, executing a PC/AT-type
power-on self-test, then boots up MS-DOS, Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows NT,
or any other PC/AT-compatible operating system. The PC/AT mode of the
VMICPCI-7611 is discussed in Chapter 3 of this manual.
The VMICPCI-7611 also operates as a CPCI system slot CPU and interacts with other
CPCI modules via the on-board embedded bridge.
The VMICPCI-7611 also provides capabilities beyond the features of a typical PC/AT
compatible CPU including a programmable watchdog timer and a bootable flash disk
system. These features makethe unit ideal for embedded applications. These
nonstandard PC/AT functions are discussed in Chapter 4 of this manual.
