Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Overview
The C2K* is a 6U PICMG 2.16 compatible Single Board Computer intended for both system con-
troller and peripheral slot applications. The board provides a CPU core, PICMG 2.16 compatible
backplane interface, and several peripheral devices/interfaces. The CPU core circuitry consists of
a Freescale MPC7448 or MPC7447A CPU operating at up to 1.4GHz, the Marvell
®
MV64460
PCI controller, up to 1GB of 167MHz DDR system memory, up to 512MB of boot memory, and
general support logic. An expanded feature list is below.
• 6U PICMG 2.16 compatible Single Board Computer, with full hot-swap support per
PICMG 2.1.
• IPMI controller with IPMB0 serial interface, per PICMG 2.9. Peripheral and BMC func-
tions.
• 500MHz to 1.4GHz MPC7448 CPU, or 500MHz to 1.0GHz MPC7447A CPU with
Marvell MV64460 PCI Controller.
• Up to two 512MB banks of 167MHz DDR SDRAM, with ECC.
• PLX PCI 6254 PCI-to-PCI Interface for CPCI backplane.
• Two selectable 115kbps RS-232 or 2Mbps source-synchronous RS-422 ports available to
the backplane connectors.
• Six additional 460kbps source-synchronous RS-422/485 ports available to the backplane
connectors.
• Two 10/100/1000T Ethernet ports available to the backplane connector J3, wired per
PICMG 2.16.
• One 10/100/1000T Ethernet port available to the backplane J4.
• One 64-bit, PCI 33/66MHz or PCI-X 133MHz PMC site, with sele3.3V/+5.0V
VIO.
• One 64-bit PCI 33/66MHz PMC site with sele3.3V/+5.0V VIO.
• One bank of 64MB to 512MB Boot FEPROM with protected area feature.
• Three USB2.0 ports to the backplane connectors.
• One USB2.0 port to the front panel, on convection models.
• Thermal probe to monitor CPU die temperature and board ambient temperature.
• Sixteen 32-bit general-purpose counter/timers.
• Real Time Clock
• Two 1.5Gbps SATA 1.0 ports to the backplane.
• N-style and C-style versions.
