DiskOnChip PCI EVB User Manual
1 Introduction
The DiskOnChip PCI Evaluation Board (EVB) provides a quick, easy way to evaluate the
DiskOnChip in platforms with a PCI extension slot. The EVB is a useful tool for designers who need
to evaluate, program, duplicate or test the DiskOnChip, even before their target platform is available.
Once installed, the DiskOnChip PCI EVB can be accessed as an additional disk drive or as a boot
device.
M-Systems’ DiskOnChip products are high-performance, single-chip flash disks that provide full
hard drive emulation for all major operating systems and platforms. This unique product line offers a
complete data storage solution for applications in which mechanical hard drives cannot be used, such
as embedded systems, Internet access devices, network computers and mobile systems. DiskOnChip
Millennium Plus provides superior performance through a true 16-bit bus interface, and offers
security-enabling and data-protection features.

supported by every major OS, such as Windows CE, Windows 2000, QNX, and VxWorks. The latest
TrueFFS drivers can be obtained from M-Systems for these operating systems and others, such as
DOS, Linux, pSOS and NT Embedded. For other environments (including OS-less) the TrueFFS
Software Development Kit (SDK) can be obtained. When using DiskOnChip as the boot device in a
non-x86 environment, M-Systems’ Boot Software Development Kit (Boot SDK) package is required.
Contact M-Systems regarding availability for both packages.
