Chapter 1 Introduction This manual provides comprehensive hardware and software information for users developing with the CMX58886CX PC/104-Plus cpuModule. Note Read the specifications beginning on page 10 prior to designing with the cpuModule.
CMX58886CX cpuModules RTD's CMX58886CX cpuModule represents the latest in high-performance embedded computing solutions. It includes 400 MHz source-synchronous Front Side Bus (FSB), on-die 512kB L2 cache, and data pre-fetch logic. It uses a 333MHz DDR-SDRAM controller that can support up to 2.7 G-Bytes per second of memory bandwidth. All memory chips are soldered directly onto the board. The video interface is provided by an Analog SVGA output and an LVDS flat panel output.
Thermal Monitor and Thermal Throttling The Intel ® Thermal Monitor is a feature on the CMX58886CX that automatically throttles the CPU when the CPU exceeds its thermal limit. The maximum temperature of the processor is defined as the temperature that the Thermal Monitor is activated. The thermal limit and duty cycle of the Thermal Monitor cannot be modified. The Thermal Monitor can be disabled by the BIOS for applications where deteministic speed is more important than device failure due to thermal runaway.
aDIO with Wake-on-aDIO RTD’s exclusive multiPort™ allows the parallel port to be configured as an Advanced Digital I/O (aDIO™), ECP/ EPP parallel port, or a floppy drive. aDIO™ is 16 digital bits configured as 8 bit-direction programmable and 8-bit port-direction programmable I/O giving you any combination of inputs and outputs. Match, event, and strobe interrupt modes mean no more wasting valuable processor time polling digital inputs.
Ordering Information The CMX58886CX cpuModule is available with a 1.0 GHz processor and 256 or 512 MB of DDR SDRAM. The cpuModule can also be purchased as part of an Intelligent Data Acquisition Node (IDAN™) building block, which consists of the cpuModule and a milled aluminum IDAN frame. The IDAN building block can be used in just about any combination with other IDAN building blocks to create a simple but rugged PC/104 stack.

FP_VBKLT can be either +5 V or +12 V, and can be selected with JP9. See Jumper Settings and Locations on page 80 for more details.
EIDE Connector (CN10) The EIDE connector is a 44-pin, 2 mm connector that can connect to a variety of EIDE or IDE devices. The connector provides all signals and power needed to use a 2.5-inch form factor (laptop) hard drive. Also, the first 40 pins of the connector provide all of the signals needed to interface to a 3.5-inch or 5-inch form factor hard drive, CD-ROM drive, or other EIDE device. The larger form factors use a 40-pin, 0.
ATA/IDE Disk Chip Socket (U16) The ATA/IDE Disk Chip socket is a 32-pin socket that supports +3.3V or +5V miniature ATA/IDE flash disk chips. The socket allows a true IDE device to be attached to the board with either a socketed or soldered connection. Such true IDE devices are supported by all major operating systems, and do not require special drivers. The socket supports ATA/IDE flash disk chips with capacites up to 4GB..
Serial Port 1 (CN7) and Serial Port 2 (CN8) Serial Port 1 (COM1) is implemented on connector CN7, and Serial Port 2 is implemented on connector CN8. The serial ports are normally configured as PC compatible full-duplex RS-232 ports, but you may use the Setup program to reconfigure these ports as half-duplex RS-422 or full-duplex RS-422 or RS-485. If you reconfigure the ports, you must also select the I/O address and corresponding interrupt using Setup.
Facing the serial port’s connector pins, the pinout is: 9 7 5 3 1 GND DTR TXD RXD DCD GND RI CTS RTS DSR 10 8 6 4 2 RS-422 or RS-485 Serial Port You may use Setup to configure the serial ports as RS-422 or RS-485. In this case, you must connect the serial port to an RS-422 or RS-485 compatible device. When using RS-422 or RS-485 mode, you can use the serial ports in either half-duplex (two-wire) or full-duplex (four-wire) configurations.
RS-422 and RS-485 Mode Pinout Table 21 provides the serial port connector pinout when RS-422 or RS-485 modes are enabled.
multiPort™ (CN6) RTD’s exclusive multiPort can be configured as an Advanced Digital I/O (aDIO™), a parallel port, or a floppy drive. Refer to Chapter 4, Using the cpuModule, to configure the multiPort. multiPort Configured as an Advanced Digital I/O (aDIO™) Port The mulitPort connector (CN6) can be configured as an aDIO port. aDIO is 16 digital bits configured as 8-bit programmable and 8-bit port programmable I/O, providing any combination of inputs and outputs.
multiPort Configured as a Parallel Port The parallel port is available on connector CN6. Make sure the multiPort in the BIOS Setup is configured to parallel port. You can use the BIOS Setup to select the parallel port’s address and associated interrupt, and choose between its operational modes (SPP, ECP, EPP 1.7, and EPP 1.9). The pinout of the connector enables a ribbon cable to be connected directly to a DB-25 connector, thus providing a standard PC compatible port.
multiPort Configured as a Floppy Drive Controller The multiPort (CN6) can be configured to be a floppy drive controller. This can be configured in the BIOS Setup under Integrated Peripherals. For more information on configuring the multiPort in the BIOS Setep, refer to page 60 Table 24 shows the pin assignments to connect a floppy drive to the multiPort.

To supply +3.
Bridge Link (CN4) The Bridge Link connector allows devices that requires Legacy/ISA interrupts to inteface with the cpuModule. When ISA devices are installed in the system (via a PCI to ISA bridge card), the Bridge Link connector provides Legacy/ISA DMA request signals, as well as a serial interrupt signal which permits access to all available system interrupts. Multiple devices may utilize the serial interrupt signal, SERIRQ, which is decoded on the cpuModule.
External Power Management (CN12) An external power management connector (CN12) is available for external devices to wake the system from low power states. Some low power modes require that +5 V standby power is applied to the cpuModule during the wake event. For more information on power management, including a description of the board’s supported wake options, refer to the Power Management section on page 66.
Fan Power, Switched (CN15) The switched fan power connector (CN15) is an optional fan connector which allows the system to power the fan only when the processor temperature reaches high temperatures. To utilize this connector, refer to the Thermal Management section on page 65.
Chapter 4 Using the cpuModule This chapter provides information for users who wish to develop their own applications programs for the CMX58886CX cpuModule.
The RTD Enhanced AMI BIOS The RTD Enhanced AMI BIOS is software that interfaces hardware-specific features of the cpuModule to an operating system (OS). Physically, the BIOS software is stored in a Flash EPROM on the cpuModule. Functions of the BIOS are divided into two parts. The first part of the BIOS is known as POST (power-on self-test) software, and it is active from the time power is applied until an OS boots (begins execution).
Main Menu Setup Fields The following is a list of Main Menu Setup fields.
Booting to Boot Block Flash with Fail Safe Boot ROM Note Boards are shipped with Fail Safe Boot ROM enabled. When Fail Safe Boot ROM is enabled, the system will boot to it exclusively. The Fail Safe Boot ROM is a minimal build of ROM-DOS™ located inside a surface-mounted Boot Block Flash chip. Boot Block Flash is a write-protected flash device that contains the BIOS and extra room where the Fail Safe Boot ROM is stored.
Memory Map The ISA portion of the cpuModule addresses memory using 24 address lines. This allows a maximum of 224 locations, or 16 MB of memory. Table 36 shows how memory in the first megabyte is allocated in the system. Table 36 First Megabyte Memory Map Address (hex) Description C0000–FFFFFh ROM 256 KB BIOS in Flash EPROM, shadowed into DRAM during runtime. C0000–EFFFFh Run time user memory space. Usually, memory between C0000h and CFFFFh is used for the BIOS of add-on VGA video cards.
I/O Address Map As with all standard PC/104 boards, the I/O space is addressed by 10 address lines (SA0–SA9). This allows 210 or 1024 distinct I/O addresses. Any add-on modules you install must therefore use I/O addresses in the range of 0–1023 (decimal) or 000–3FF (hex). Note If you add any PC/104 modules or other peripherals to the system you must ensure they do not use reserved addresses listed below, or malfunctions will occur. The exception to this is if the resource has been released by the user.
Hardware Interrupts Note If you add any expansion modules or other peripherals to the system, you must ensure they do not use interrupts needed by the cpuModule, or malfunctions will occur. The CMX58886CX cpuModule supports the standard PC interrupts listed in Table 38. Interrupts not in use by hardware on the cpuModule itself are listed as available. Similarly, if the operating system is using APIC, more IRQs will be available.
multiPort: Advanced Digital I/O Ports (aDIO™) Ensure that the BIOS setup has the multiPort set to aDIO mode. This board supports 16 bits of TTL/CMOS compatible digital I/O (TTL signaling). Use the BIOS setup to set the multiPort into its aDIO mode. These I/O lines are grouped into two ports, Port 0 and Port 1. Port 0 is bit programmable; Port 1 is byte programmable. Port 0 supports RTD’s Advanced Digital Interrupt modes. The two modes are match and event.

Port 1 Data register is a read/write byte direction Interrupts In order to use an interrupt with aDIO, the interrupt must first be selected in the BIOS setup utility under Advanced, I/O Devices, aDIO Configuration, aDIO Interrupt.
Figure 5 aDIO Match Mode Strobe Mode Another interrupt mode supported by aDIO is Strobe mode. This allows the strobe pin of the DIO connector to trigger an interrupt. A low to high transition on the strobe pin will cause an interrupt request. The request will remain high until the Clear Register is read from. Additionally, the Compare Register latched in the value at Port 0 when the Strobe pin made a low to high transition. No further strobes will be available until a read of the Compare Register is made.
multiPort: Parallel Port Control The parallel port may be operated in SPP (output-only), EPP (bidirectional), and ECP (extended capabilities) modes. The mode may be selected in the BIOS, or by application software. To configure the parallel port in the BIOS, enter the BIOS, and follow the steps below: 1. Under the “Advanced” menu in the BIOS, select the “I/O Device Configuration” submenu 2. Set the multiPort mode to “Parallel Port” 3.
IDE Controller Configuration The CPU’s onboard EIDE connector (CN10) supports several different drive speed modes, which are BIOS configurable. Supported drive modes will depend on whether a 40-conductor or 80-conductor cable is connecting the EIDE device. The modes and cable detection schemes described below may be set in the BIOS Setup. Similarly, the ATA/IDE Disk Chip socket (U16) is BIOS configurable.
Legacy Mode and Native Mode IDE The onboard EIDE controller may be configured as a either a Legacy or Native Mode IDE controller in the BIOS Setup. However, the operating system must support the selected mode for the device to operate correctly. The default configuration for the controller is Legacy Mode, as this is supported by most operating systems. Legacy Mode Legacy mode is the default configuration of the onboard EIDE controller.
Real Time Clock Control The cpuModule is equipped with a real time clock (RTC) which provides system date and time functions, and also provides 128 nonvolatile memory locations. The contents of these memory locations are retained whenever an external backup battery is connected, whether or not system power is connected. You may access the RTC date, time, and memory using an index and data register at I/O addresses 70h and 71h. Address 70h is the Index register.
Watchdog Timer Control The cpuModule includes a watchdog timer, which provides protection against programs "hanging", or getting stuck in an execution loop where they cannot respond correctly. When enabled, the watchdog timer must be periodically reset by your application program. If it is not refreshed before the time-out period expires, it will cause a hardware reset of the cpuModule. The watchdog time-out period is typically 1.1 seconds, but can vary between 550 ms and 1.65 seconds.
Thermal Management The cpuModule has several thermal features which can be used to monitor and control the board’s temperature when extreme operating conditions are prevalent. Thermal Monitor and Thermal Throttling The Intel ® Thermal Monitor is a feature on the CMX58886CX that automatically throttles the CPU when the CPU exceeds its thermal limit. The maximum temperature of the processor is defined as the temperature that the Thermal Monitor is activated.
Power Management The CMX58886CX cpuModule supports various powering mechanisms which allow the cpuModule to monitor power consumption and temperature, and achieve minial power consumption states. These unique features include thermal monitoring and thermal throttling, as well as low power modes including APM and ACPI configurations. Various wake options are also available to resume normal system power when power modes are no longer necessary for the application.
• Resume on RTC Alarm: The RTC Alarm allows the system to turn on at a certain time every day. This option is BIOS configurable. AT vs. ATX Power Supplies Both AT and ATX power supplies may be used with the CMX58886CX cpuModule, however AT power supplies do not provide any standby power to the cpuModule. When an AT power supply is used to power the system, low power modes that require a standby power to wake the system will not be fully supported.
Reducing Power Consumption In addition to the CPU’s low power modes, power consumption can further be reduced by making some modifications to the BIOS setup. When the following features are modified, the CPU’s power consumption will descrease: 68 • Memory Speed: Changing the DDR DRAM clock frequency will reduce power consumption, however memory performance will also be reduced.
Multi-Color LED The CMX58886CX has a Multi-Color LED located beside the EIDE connector (CN10) which can be enabled or disabled in the BIOS setup screen. The color of the LED indicates the status of the board, as shown in Table 49.

Reset Status Register The cpuModule has several different signals on board which can cause a system reset. If a reset occurs, the reset status register can be used to see which reset or resets have been asserted on the cpuModule. The user has the ability to see which resets have been asserted. Resets can also be cleared. • Examine Resets: Reading from I/O port 0x457 will indicate if a reset has been asserted. If a 1 is read, the corresponding reset has been assserted.

User EEPROM A 512kB serial EEPROM (Atmel AT93C66) is available on the cpuModule for the user to save nonvolatile parameters on the cpuModule. The EEPROM can be accessed by reading and writting to I/O address 456h, as shown in the following table.
Features and Settings That Can Affect Boot Time The boot time of a system is dependent upon numerous system settings as well as devices attached to a system.. This section addresses some devices and settings that can increase or decrease a system’s boot time. Quick Boot The BIOS contains a Quick Boot option that minimizes the boot time of the system.
System Recovery Loading Default BIOS Settings The default BIOS can be restored either by using the “Load Defaults” option in the BIOS, or by installing jumper JP5 (see Figure 6 on page 81). In most cases, the easiest way to load default settings is by setting them in the BIOS. For other unique cases, jumper JP5 provides an alternative method of restoring the BIOS settings. To restore the default BIOS settings with jumper JP5, follow the procedure below. 1. Remove power from the system. 2. Install JP5.
Basic Interrupt Information for Programmers An interrupt is a subroutine called asynchronously by external hardware (usually an I/O device) during the execution of another application. The CPU halts execution of its current process by saving the system state and next instruction, and then jumps to the interrupt service routine, executes it, loads the saved system state and saved next instruction, and continues execution. Interrupts are good for handling infrequent events such as keyboard activity.
Intel 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller The chip responsible for handling interrupt requests in the PC is the Intel 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller. To use interrupts, you need to know how to read and set the Intel 8259’s interrupt mask register (IMR) and how to send the end-of-interrupt (EOI) command to the Intel 8259. Each bit in the IMR contains the mask status of an IRQ line; bit 0 is for IRQ0, bit 1 is for IRQ1, and so on.
