Board Introduction
The CP605 is an advanced 64-bit / 33 MHz CompactPCI system controller board. It has been
designed to support the latest Intel
®
Pentium
®
processors:
•
Pentium
4
•
Mobile Pentium
4 Processor-M
Both processors have a 512 KB L2 cache whereby the Pentium
4 comes in the FCPGA2 pack-
age (Desktop version) and the Mobile Pentium
4 Processor-M in the µFCPGA package (Mobile
version).
The Pentium
4 Processor-M version has the advantage of very low power consumption, whilst
at the same time providing impressive processor speeds ranging from 1.2 GHz through
2.2 GHz with a PSB running at 400 MHz. The desktop Pentium
4 processor version offers very
high processor speeds ranging from 2 GHz through 2.4 GHz with a PSB running at 400 MHz
and 533 MHz. The CP605 utilizes the Intel 845GV and ICH4 I/O Controller Hub (ICH4) chipset.
The board includes up to 1 GB of soldered Double Data Rate (DDR) memory. In addition, there
is one SODIMM socket (200-pin) available to add up to 1 GB of DDR memory whereby the
maximum memory configuration is 2 GB. The memory is operated either at 200 or 266 MHz.
System features include two Gigabit Ethernet ports, one Fast Ethernet port (82559-style), one
PMC slot to support further PCI devices, and one optional Network Security processor. The
board also includes a built-in Intel 2D/3D Graphics accelerator with up to 64 MB memory for
enhanced graphics performance with a VGA CRT-display interface.
The CP605 comes with the following PC interfaces including: five USB 2.0 ports, four COM
ports, two EIDE ATA100 interfaces, one CompactFlash socket, one Floppy port, one parallel
I/O interface, and the rear I/O CompactPCI bus connectors J3, J4, and J5. In addition, there is
an optional Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) available.
The board supports one configurable 64-bit, 33 MHz, hot swap CompactPCI interface. In the
System Master slot the bridge is enabled, and if installed in a peripheral slot, the CP605 is iso-
lated from the CompactPCI bus.
One of the more important features of the CP605 is its support of the PICMG CompactPCI
Packet Switching Backplane Specification 2.16. When installed in a backplane which supports
packet switching, the CP605 can communicate via both of its Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with
other boards which also support packet switching.
Designed for stability, the board fits into all applications situated in industrial environments
making it a perfect core technology for long life applications.
The components which make up the CP605 have been carefully selected from embedded tech-
nology programs to ensure long-term availability.
The board is compatible with the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000, Windows
®
XP and Windows
®
XP
Embedded operating systems. However, the performance of CompactPCI can be tailored to
suit real-time applications and operating systems such as Linux
®
, or VxWorks
®
which are in-
strumental to the success of CompactPCI in these market sectors.
